Vivek Provides His Best Pro-Life Take to Date

Will wonders never cease? Republican presidential candidate Vivek Ramaswamy, a pharmaceutical tech CEO and someone who by and large has avoided the topic of abortion during debates and on the campaign trail, has weighed in on the upcoming Supreme Court battle regarding the Food and Drug Administration’s (FDA) approval of the Chemical Abortion Pill. And his take on the issue was excellent. 

According to Fox News:  

“It’s my opinion — it’s the Supreme Court’s that’ll matter, but I’m pretty sure they’re going to come down right where I am on this — that the FDA exceeded its statutory authority in using an emergency approval to approve something that doesn’t fit Congress’ criteria for what actually counts as an emergency approval,” Ramaswamy told voters at the town hall. 

“The Supreme Court on Wednesday agreed to consider appeals from the Biden administration and drug manufacturer Danco defending several actions by the FDA intended to make it easier to access and use mifepristone in the wake of overturning Roe v. Wade last year.” 

Students for Life Action (SFLAction) has been fighting this battle against Chemical Abortion for a very long time – in September, we were proud to stand with U.S. Representative Andy Ogles at the U.S. Capital to announce The Ending Chemical Abortion Act.

At the press conference, SFLAction President Kristan Hawkins said:  

“The abortion radicals in the Biden Administration, while claiming to care about the environment, actually allow chemically tainted placenta tissue, blood, and human remains to be flushed into our waterways, where plant, animal, and aquatic life are exposed to what remains. 

“The pills are clearly deadly to the preborn and exceptionally harmful to women. In fact, Students for Life of America & SFLAction have prioritized ending exposure to the killing metabolites in Chemical Abortion pills, which have four times the rate of injury and ten times the death rate of surgical abortions, which are also deadly. Also troubling, during the Clinton, Obama, and now Biden Administration, no FDA or EPA environmental assessments were completed to ensure that dumping human remains was not a hazard to all life. 

“Not even hospitals or brick and mortar abortion vendors can get away with that.”

We applaud Mr. Ramaswamy and hope to hear more support for pro-life positions from him in the future.
