This is good news, but as @jessicavalenti.bsky.social & @mintimm.bsky.social explain, it doesn’t mean the administration’s approach to abortion has changed.
As long as mifepristone is approved, the FDA doesn’t really have a choice but to approve the generic too.

Scientists often argue that abortion medication is considered safer than Tylenol whenever there are attacks against it.
And all year anti-abortion groups like Charlotte Lozier have used this comparison to question the safety of both abortion pills & Tylenol.
This is peak anti-abortion framework.

Abortion rights shouldn’t be a bargaining chip lawmakers use to negotiate what they consider to be “legitimate” political issues. Abortion is inextricably linked with economic, climate, and health care policy. It is a legitimate political issue. You bend on abortion, you’ll bend on anything.

This is how you actually help pregnant people and families!! Not funding anti-abortion centers, not giving tax credits to rich people who donate to centers who demean and mislead people. GIVE THE PEOPLE THE CASH and guess what? They are less poor and have better outcomes!!!
A program in Flint, MI, gave $1,500 to any/all pregnant people and $500/month for the first year of their infant’s life.
Among the benefits, those babies experienced lower rates of prematurity and low birth weight, which resulted in fewer NICU admissions, saving the city of Flint $6.2 million/year.
