Virginia Company based in Richmond, moves forward with new chemical abortion pill.
Virginians should be concerned that a locally based company promoting abortion has received FDA approval for a new generic version of mifepristone. Under current federal regulatory provisions, the FDA must approve generic drugs—despite the fact that federal reviews are underway regarding the safety of mifepristone for use as an abortion drug.
Evita Solutions is manufacturing the generic drug for the sole purpose of causing abortions. While mifepristone does have one other approved use, it is clear from the company’s website that the use of their product is only to advance more abortions. From Evita’s website: “Through our work, we assist the medical community in recognizing the utility and freedom that medical abortion provides patients, we seek to normalize abortion care, and we commit to making care accessible to all. Medical abortion care is rife with medically unnecessary restrictions and social stigma in the United States. Evita Solutions believes that all people should have access to safe, affordable, high-quality, effective, and compassionate abortion care, regardless of their race, sex, gender, age, sexuality, income, or where they live. ”
Deeply concerning is that this Virginia based company is determined to move ahead with distribution of their product despite recent analysis of data from an all-payer insurance claims database that includes 865,727 prescribed mifepristone abortions from 2017 to 2023.
10.93 percent of women experience sepsis, infection, hemorrhaging, or another serious adverse event within 45 days following a mifepristone abortion.
“As Virginians go to the polls this month it should trouble all of us that a company in our own backyard is involved in manufacturing for profit a drug that places pregnant women in harm’s way and ends the lives of their helpless preborn babies. There are clearly elements at work here that are determined to make Virginia an abortion mecca for an industry that makes money off women dealing with complex pregnancy decisions”, said Olivia Gans Turner, president of VSHL.
Virginia Society for Human Life is the oldest state-wide pro-life organization in the nation with chapters throughout the Commonwealth supporting life issues and the Virginia affiliate of the National Right to Life Committee.
