Dr. Erin Stevens and Dr. Rob Davidson break down acting Attorney General Todd Blanche's Senate confirmation hearing from this week, focusing on his testimony about restricting mifepristone and telehealth abortion access.
They dig into the claims used to justify tighter restrictions and explain why, as physicians, they see these justifications as disconnected from the actual medical evidence on mifepristone's safety.
They also discuss the FDA's ongoing "scientific review" of the drug, the historical basis for restricting mailed medication under the 1873 Comstock Act, and the hearing's timing alongside testimony from Jeffrey Epstein survivors.
