Expressing the sense of the House of Representatives that over 25 years of real-world evidence and hundreds of peer-reviewed studies proving that mifepristone is safe and effective should be respected, and law and policy governing access to lifesaving, time-sensitive medication abortion care in the United States should be equitable, transparent, and based on the best available peer-reviewed evidence-based science.

Increased Access to Care: The resolution emphasizes that mifepristone is more accessible when dispensed by mail or at a pharmacy following telemedicine consultations (Resolution, Section 2021/2023 references).

Reduced Barriers for Vulnerable Groups: Preserving and expanding access to medication abortion is noted as important for ensuring equitable access for specific groups, including Black and Indigenous people, people of color, immigrants, people with lower incomes, people in rural communities, LGBTQ+ people, people living with disabilities, and people experiencing intimate partner violence (Resolution, Section 4).

Protection of Patient Safety through Science: The resolution advocates for FDA policies to be based on gold-standard medical evidence and transparent scientific review to ensure drug regulation is grounded in safety and efficacy (Resolution, Section 1).

Increased Willingness to Seek Care: The text notes that the privacy provided by telehealth consultations may increase a patient's willingness to disclose issues such as abuse or coercion (Resolution, Whereas clause regarding domestic violence).

Devastating Health Impacts from Reduced Access: The resolution states that the impact on the health and well-being of patients would be devastating if actions were taken to reduce patient access to medication abortion or increase barriers to prescribing and dispensing it (Resolution, Whereas clause).

Increased Travel and Wait Times: The text indicates that abortion bans and restrictions force patients to travel greater distances for care and face longer wait times (Resolution, Whereas clause).

Forced Pregnancy: Restrictions can force some patients who are unable to access care to remain pregnant against their will (Resolution, Whereas clause).

Increased Risk of Domestic Violence: The text mentions that scientific research has demonstrated that restricting access to abortion increases the risk of domestic violence for pregnant people (Resolution, Whereas clause).
