Rebecca Kelliher on Her Book: Just Pills: The Extraordinary Story of a Revolution in Abortion Care In Brazil in the 1990s, women discovered using misoprostol for safe, self-managed abortion. In 1980 in France, mifepristone was discovered and in 1988, approved. Approval in the U.S. occurred shortly…

@rebeccakelliher.bsky.social is so right. We have a lot to thank for the women of Brazil in the early 1990s. They figured out how to take misoprostol to have safe abortions while living under a near total abortion ban.

This is bonkers. The antiabortion movement has put a full court press on FDA to restrict mifepristone, and everyone is on edge that it will do so.

So what does FDA do? It approves a new generic mifepristone without changing anything about the restrictions.

Thank you RFK? ?!?!

The FDA approved mifepristone 25 years ago, but its history goes back a century, as you can read in this new book Just Pills: The Extraordinary Story of a Revolution in Abortion Care, by @rebeccakelliher.bsky.social
