Missouri attorney general takes new legal aim at mail-order abortion pills over safety concerns
Fox News
Missouri Attorney General Catherine Hanaway filed a lawsuit challenging the FDA's approval of a generic mifepristone drug by Evita Solutions.
Greg Wehner is a breaking news reporter for Fox News Digital.
The lawsuit alleges manufacturers have relied on "weakened safety standards" that were "originally designed to catch dangerous conditions such as ectopic pregnancies," which can only be identified through an in-person medical exam.

"Mifepristone is sending women to the hospital with life-threatening complications, and yet drug companies continue pushing new versions of it into the market without basic medical safeguards," Hanaway said. "Mail-order abortion drugs are dangerous when taken without in-person care, and Missouri will not stand by while manufacturers gamble with women’s lives."
