**WASHINGTON, D.C. —** Josh Hawley has introduced legislation seeking to revoke federal approval for the [abortion pill](https://www.lifesitenews.com/news/hawley-introduces-bill-to-remove-fda-approval-of-abortion-pill-allow-injured-women-to-sue/?utm%5Fsource=featured-news&utm%5Fcampaign=usa) mifepristone, arguing the drug poses serious risks to women’s health.

During a press conference, Hawley urged Congress to “protect the innocent unborn” and address what he described as growing safety concerns linked to the medication. He cited research suggesting that serious health complications—including infections, hemorrhaging, and sepsis—occur in roughly 11 percent of cases. According to the senator, more than 7.5 million women have taken the drug since 2000, and it now accounts for about 70 percent of abortions in the United States.

The proposed Safeguarding Women from Chemical Abortion Act would remove the drug’s approval by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration and allow women to pursue legal action against its manufacturers. Supporters say the measure is necessary to strengthen oversight and safety requirements.

Previously, the [UOJ reported](https://uoj.news/news/86307-tennessee-bill-seeks-stronger-penalties-for-abortion-pill-violations/) that a Tennessee bill sought stronger penalties for abortion-pill violations.
