ALLIANCE FOR HIPPOCRATIC MEDICINE FacebookTwitterInstagramYouTube June 13th, 2024 | Press Release LEADER JEFFRIES STATEMENT ON FOOD AND DRUG ADMINISTRATION V. ALLIANCE FOR HIPPOCRATIC MEDICINE Washington, DC — Today, Democratic Leader Hakeem Jeffries released the following statement:Mifepristone is a medication that has been used for decades as a form of reproductive health care. It is safe and effective and today the Supreme Court affirmed that abortion medication remains accessible to women across the nation. Today’s decision is a victory for reproductive freedom, but this case should never have been heard. Extreme MAGA Republican attempts to undermine the FDA – an independent scientific body – are unconscionable and unacceptable. These extreme, right-wing attempts to weaponize our judicial system must be crushed with the fierce urgency of now. House Democrats will continue to fight until reproductive freedom is the law of the land. We will not let the extremists win. ## Back to News Share: FacebookTwitterNewsletter Sign UpSubscribe to our e-newsletter that provides updates on important issues, my work in the Congress and what's happening in our district.EmailSubmitBill SearchPlease select and optionCurrent LegislationAll LegislationAll Sources--MembersCongressional RecordCommittee ReportsNominationsSearch for a billSubmit QueryOffice LocationsWashington, DC Office 2433 Rayburn House Office Building Washington, DC 20515 Phone: (202) 225-5936 Hours: M-F 9 am - 5 pm Central Brooklyn District Office 55 Hanson Place Suite 603 Brooklyn, NY 11217 Phone: (718) 237-2211 Hours: M-F 9am - 5pm South Brooklyn District Office 445 Neptune Avenue, 1st Floor Community Room 2C Brooklyn, NY 11224 Phone: (718) 373-0033 Hours: M-F 9am - 5pm ToolsAccessibilityPrivacyCopyright
