RFK Jr hints access to key abortion drug could be cut back

In a Senate judiciary committee hearing, US health secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. suggested that the Biden administration's regulations expanding access to abortion pills could be rolled back. Kennedy claimed that the administration "twisted the data" despite research showing the safety and effectiveness of mifepristone, a key abortion drug. The hearing was marked by tensions over Kennedy's chaotic tenure at the health department, which has included thousands of layoffs and the promotion of leaders with limited public health and medical expertise. Kennedy's comments raised concerns about potential restrictions on access to the abortion medication, which has been a subject of ongoing political and legal battles in the US.
