Sen. Patty Murray (D-Wash.) decried Republican efforts to discredit medication abortion in an interview Wednesday with Mother Jones, saying that “the only reason they’re going after mifepristone is because it is the way most women get their abortive care.”
Mifepristone is one of the pills used in medication abortion, which in 2023 accounted for 63 percent of all terminations in the United States.
On Wednesday morning, the Senate Committee on Health, Education, Labor and Pensions held a hearing on “protecting women” from the “dangers of chemical abortion drugs.”
Chaired by Louisiana Republican Sen. Bill Cassidy, the hearing centered on conservative demands for further regulation of abortion medication; two of its three witnesses were medication abortion opponents, including Louisiana Attorney General Liz Murrill, who on Tuesday pushed to extradite a California abortion provider on felony charges, accusing him of sending abortion pills into her state.
Stock up now. There are places you can buy it by saying you may need it in the future. I think the expiration date is usually 4 years out.
Get what you need but don’t create a shortage; there are a lot of women who need it NOW.
And it works past expiration date.
Only a handful of medications that don’t require refrigeration actually spoil due to age. Most things lose potency over time, but from what I’ve seen it’s fairly negligible.

Gonna be nice watching democrats give a shit when the bans start impacting their states.
If they keep it, it’ll because it lines their pockets over the free agency of women. I don’t expect much from the people who didn’t protect Roe v Wade when they promised it for years and never tried.
Obama basically rolled over like a limp noodle when Mitch blocked his appointment to the SC. Oh and RBG is just one more old fart whose ego got in the way of progress, and because of her unwillingness to quit and enjoy a nice retirement during a Dem admin, we are now at this current 6-3 supermajority.
RGB is one of the many reasons why we are stuck here. She should have left when asked and we’d be in a slightly better situation.
