In his latest bizarre and dangerous move, RFK Jr. is now calling on the FDA to “review the regulations” around mifepristone, threatening women’s access to a proven safe and effective form of medication abortion used in nearly two-thirds of abortions nationwide. The renowned conspiracy theorist is basing his decision on a widely discredited “junk science report” from anti-abortion groups, which falsely claims mifepristone is harmful to women.
Despite this issue being already settled by this Supreme Court, far-right Republicans refuse to give up their relentless assault on reproductive freedoms. Just last week, House Republicans voted to slash Medicaid and decimate funding for reproductive health care providers.
And David Valadao? He’s notably silent.
As a reminder, we know exactly where he stands. Valadao voted for extreme anti-abortion legislation that would prevent women in California and nationwide from receiving mifepristone through the mail or at pharmacies, pushed legislation that would punish doctors who perform abortions, and prevent vulnerable communities from seeking essential health care. He has also backed a nationwide abortion ban without exceptions.
DCCC Spokesperson Anna Elsasser:
“It’s the same old story from David Valadao so it’s no wonder he’s gone silent on his deeply unpopular positions. He’d rather fall in line to restrict California women’s access to basic health care than focus on delivering results, bringing down costs, and improving lives in Congress. Give it up, David.”
