Senate Republicans Target Pro-Choice Speech

Senate Republicans are pressuring the FDA to censor online speech about abortion pills—directing the agency to target telemedicine abortion organizations, seize their domains, and “permanently shut down” their websites. The move marks a massive escalation in the attacks on pro-choice speech we’ve been documenting here for months.

Here’s what you need to know: Republicans on the U.S. Senate Health, Education, Labor, and Pensions (HELP) Committee sent a letter to FDA chief Marty Makary this week, urging him to “take immediate action to prevent [abortion medication] from being marketed in the U.S. by online retailers.”

Sens. Bill Cassidy, Steve Daines, James Lankford, Cindy Hyde-Smith, and Lindsey Graham lay out, step by step, how the federal agency can attack telehealth organizations both online and off. The Senators even attach a list of websites for the FDA to target—including AidAccess, I Need An A, and carafem.
