On October 3, 2025, Representative Mark Harris (NC-08) and a dozen lawmakers requested accountability from the FDA regarding its approval of a generic version of Mifepristone, a medication used for chemical abortions. The lawmakers characterized the drug as "unsafe and lethal" and argued that its approval contradicts recent safety reviews announced by the administration.

In a letter to Health and Human Services Secretary Robert Kennedy Jr., the lawmakers expressed concerns that the approval runs counter to the administration's pro-life stance.
