A battle is brewing in Washington, and it’s one that strikes at the heart of what we stand for as Americans — the defense of life, liberty, and the rule of law. Thirteen courageous House Republicans are calling out what they see as a betrayal of the Trump administration’s pro-life policies. At the center of the controversy is the Food and Drug Administration’s approval of a new generic abortion pill, and these lawmakers are demanding answers.
Led by Rep. Mark Harris of North Carolina, the group sent a letter to Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr., making it clear that rogue actors inside the FDA have overstepped their authority. According to Harris and his colleagues, the approval of this generic version of mifepristone — the abortion drug used in more than 60 percent of abortions — not only undermines the sanctity of life, but also goes against the stated values of this administration.
Let’s be clear about what this drug does. Mifepristone works by cutting off the unborn child’s access to nutrients, essentially starving the baby to death in the womb. Then, a second drug is used to force the mother’s body to expel the lifeless child. It is a brutal, inhumane process, and now with a generic version approved, it will become even more widespread.
The Trump administration stood firm for life. It fought to protect the unborn and to defend the values that millions of Americans hold dear. Now, behind closed doors and buried in bureaucratic language, the FDA has taken a major step in the opposite direction. Harris and his fellow conservatives aren’t standing for it.
They’re calling on Secretary Kennedy to fire those responsible — including the director of the Office of Generic Drugs and the director of the Center for Drug Evaluation and Research. In their words, these officials should be part of the “reduction-in-force evaluations,” meaning they need to go.
And they’re right.
Americans need to understand what’s really happening here. This isn’t just about one drug or one agency. It’s about unelected bureaucrats making life-and-death decisions without accountability. It’s about people inside our own government pushing a radical, pro-abortion agenda, even when it goes against the wishes of the American people and the policies of the President they serve.
Let’s not forget: bureaucrats don’t get to make law. They are supposed to carry out the will of the American people through their elected representatives. When they start acting like lawmakers — especially on issues as serious as abortion — it’s time for them to be shown the door.
Health and Human Services spokesman Andrew Nixon tried to defend the FDA by saying the agency has “very limited discretion” when it comes to approving generic drugs. But let’s not be fooled. The approval letter for this drug came on September 30, and the FDA stated that it had all the necessary information to approve it. If that’s the case, then someone inside the agency pushed this forward — and they need to be held accountable.
Only two other companies — Danco Labs and Genbiopro — had been approved to sell abortion pills. Now, with this new approval for Evita Solutions, the market for these life-ending drugs is expanding. That’s not just a policy shift; it’s a moral failure.
Congressman Harris is right to demand action. The American people deserve a government that defends life, not one that quietly expands the tools to destroy it. If we allow bureaucrats to make these decisions without consequences, we’ve lost control of the very institutions that are supposed to serve us.
This is a moment for choosing. Will our leaders stand for the unborn, or will they allow the machinery of government to be used for death? The answer should be clear. Fire the rogue actors. End the abuse of power. And stand up — once again — for life.
