The Food and Drug Administration should “immediately” restore in-person dispensing requirements for the abortion pill, Sen. Bill Cassidy, R-La., told The Daily Signal.

The senator cited safety concerns in pressing the administration to act. “You don’t have to have a review to know that if a woman has an ectopic pregnancy, she’s gonna have a problem,” Cassidy said. “You don’t have to have a review to know that there’s documented cases of people coerced into taking this.”

Under President Joe Biden in April 2021, the administration stopped requiring that abortion drugs be dispensed to women in person. 

President Donald Trump’s administration promised to conduct a safety review on the abortion pill, but more than seven months later, the agency is still in the “data acquisition phase,” Commissioner Dr. Marty Makary told The Daily Signal.
