“Holly's Law is a very modest bill. It provides only for temporary suspension of the Food and Drug Administration's approval of RU-486 so the comptroller general can review that agency's adherence to statutory mandates in its process for approving the drug.”
“If supporters of RU-486 believe the FDA followed the law in approving RU-486 for abortion, they should have nothing to fear from the proposed review. But if the FDA bent the rules to expedite approval of RU-486, the agency clearly valued the 'health' of the abortion industry over women's health and should be brought to account.”
“Without any evidence, the report just asserts that increased access to contraception reduces the numbers of unintended pregnancies and therefore abortions. But that assumption is unwarranted.”
