FDA quietly approved a generic abortion pill ahead of shutdown The approval of a generic for the medication mifepristone comes less than two weeks after Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. pledged that the agency would review the drug’s safety.

The #FDA wrote in a letter to #EvitaSolutions on Tuesday, the day before the government shutdown began, that its mifepristone tablets were “therapeutically equivalent” to the brand-name version, Mifeprex, which has been available in the U.S. since 2000.
