Trump Taps Anti-Choice Physician To Lead FDA
Last week, President Donald Trump nominated anti-choice physician Heidi Overton to lead the FDA. Overton has long attacked abortion. In 2022, she lauded the overturn of Roe v. Wade as an opportunity to “choose life through a democratic process.” She also called abortion medication “dangerous to women,” despite scientific consensus that the pills are safe and effective. If confirmed, Overton would oversee the agency’s highly-criticized “review” of mifepristone’s safety that began in June under ex-FDA chief Marty Makary.
