WASHINGTON (AP) — Federal officials have approved another generic version of the abortion pill mifepristone, a regulatory formality that quickly triggered pushback from anti-abortion groups and politicians aligned with the Trump administration.
The FDA approved the original version of mifepristone in 2000 and gradually eased access over time.
That included approving the first generic pill, from drugmaker GenBioPro, in 2019.
In 2021, the FDA under Democratic President Joe Biden permitted online prescribing and mail-order delivery of the drug, greatly expanding access.
The FDA typically approves such applications within 10 months.
