The three suggested again that the abortion pill should be available over-the-counter, like Tylenol or Advil.<\/p>\n<p>Grossman was referred to by The Nation as a <a href=\"https:\/\/bixbycenter.ucsf.edu\/daniel-grossman-md-facog\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">professor<\/a> of obstetrics, gynecology, and reproductive sciences at the University of California\u2013San Francisco and director of ANSIRH. But what <em>isn&#8217;t<\/em> stated is that Grossman is also an abortionist and <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/CaroleNovielli\/status\/1611041344473923590\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">recent<\/a> National Abortion Federation and NARAL Pro-Choice America board member who has\u00a0served as a consultant to Planned Parenthood Federation of America and the Center for Reproductive Rights (along with leadership in other pro-abortion groups).

For one, Grossman was a senior leader at IBIS Reproductive Health while conducting abortion pill studies <em>at the same time<\/em> that the organization was getting <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/CaroleNovielli\/status\/1611043444431912962\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">direct funding from Danco<\/a>, the abortion pill manufacturer.<\/p>\n<p>Renee Bracey Sherman is founder and executive director of the abortion groups\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/wetestify.org\/\">We Testify<\/a>\u00a0and is a\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/archive.liveaction.org\/news\/former-employees-accuse-abortion-organization-racism\/\">former NARAL board member<\/a>.

The Buffett Foundation was an early investor in Danco. According to a\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.foxnews.com\/opinion\/2014\/05\/13\/warren-buffet-donates-12-billion-to-abortion-groups.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Fox Report,<\/a>\u00a0\u201cWeitz has worked at Planned Parenthood, The Bixby Center&#8230; and once defined abortion as \u2018a moral action undertaken by moral agents.&#8217;\u201d<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;When the FDA approved the drug in 2000, it did so under a little-known bureaucratic system known as the Risk Evaluation Mitigation Strategy (REMS). Drugs under REMS usually carry significant side effects or are highly addictive, neither of which is true for mifepristone,&#8221; the trio wrote. &#8220;Under these restrictions, clinicians who provide medication abortion must register with the FDA and then dispense mifepristone directly to the patient.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>They added, &#8220;In an effort to reduce the risk of transmission at the onset of the Covid-19 pandemic, the FDA loosened these requirements to allow clinicians to mail the drugs to patients or to use one of two online specialty pharmacies. So the decision this week that health care providers will be allowed to write a normal prescription to be filled at a normal pharmacy is good news.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Herein lies the catch.<\/p>\n<p>In referring to recent changes, the abortion trio added, &#8220;this requirement has made it impossible for mifepristone to be available over the counter, or at the very least to be dispensed without\u00a0unnecessary certifications, despite the fact that it\u2019s\u00a0safer than Tylenol.&#8221; This claim about safety is in dispute, especially given the fact that if women are taking <a href=\"https:\/\/archive.liveaction.org\/news\/abortion-groups-tell-women-lie-miscarriage\/\">Grossman and the abortion industry&#8217;s advice<\/a> to claim they are having natural miscarriages instead of chemical abortions when visiting ERs with complications, these complications are <em>not being reported against chemical abortions<\/em>. And <a href=\"https:\/\/journals.lww.com\/greenjournal\/Fulltext\/2015\/01000\/Incidence_of_Emergency_Department_Visits_and.29.aspx\">one study<\/a> \u2014 which Weitz and Grossman co-authored!\u00a0\u2014 found that chemical abortion is <a href=\"https:\/\/archive.liveaction.org\/news\/study-abortion-pill-four-times-dangerous-surgical\/\">four times as risky<\/a> for women as a first trimester surgical abortion.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;But that\u2019s where our praise of the FDA ends,&#8221; the abortion trio noted, because &#8220;the FDA chose to alter rather than eliminate the REMS for medication abortion.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Adding pharmacies to the already cumbersome REMS is unnecessary and further perpetuates the notion that medication abortion is dangerous. To become certified to dispense mifepristone, a pharmacy must commit to doing\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.accessdata.fda.gov\/drugsatfda_docs\/rems\/Mifepristone_2023_01_03_REMS_Full.pdf\">14 things<\/a>\u00a0that go far beyond what they do for other prescribed medications,&#8221; they claimed, suggesting it is &#8220;essentially a bureaucratic hoop that providers have to jump through that has little meaning.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>The abortion trio referred to the recent move by the FDA as &#8220;crumbs and bureaucratic barriers&#8221; and demanded the removal of the REMS, writing, &#8220;This moment is an opportunity for the FDA to reduce or remove the limits associated with medication abortion, but instead it is changing and even increasing them under the guise of expanding abortion access.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><strong>More ANSIRH staff demand FDA remove REMS<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>University of California\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/chc.ucsf.edu\/people\/ushma-upadhyay-mph\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">professor<\/a>\u00a0and abortion advocate <a href=\"https:\/\/chc.ucsf.edu\/people\/ushma-upadhyay-phd-mph\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Ushma Upadhyay<\/a>, also an ANSIRH professor (and co-author with Weitz and Grossman of the study mentioned above)\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/UshmaU\/status\/1611436937671487488\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">joined<\/a> the clamor to demand the FDA remove the REMS, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.latimes.com\/opinion\/story\/2023-01-06\/abortion-pills-pharmacies-fda-cvs-walgreens\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">publishing<\/a> her views at the Los Angeles Times.
