密苏里州共和党参议员乔希·霍利（Josh Hawley）正在对两家米非司酮（mifepristone）制造商展开调查，他表示，尽管有证据表明这种堕胎药”对女性构成严重风险”，但这些公司仍从中获利。
霍利通过致函两家公司（Danco Laboratories和GenBioPro）的负责人，正式启动调查。福克斯新闻数字频道获取了这些信件。信中通知公司管理人员，他将通过他担任主席的参议院司法委员会反恐犯罪小组委员会展开调查。
“越来越多的证据表明，米非司酮对女性构成严重风险。然而，尽管关于使用该药物可能导致出血、感染、败血症及其他危险并发症的严重质疑不断出现，贵公司仍继续从这种药物的广泛分发中获利，”霍利在信中写道。
“国会必须查明贵公司对米非司酮相关危害的了解程度、了解时间、告知监管机构的情况，以及可能未向女性和公众披露的信息，”他补充道。

信件要求两家公司在4月24日前提供与调查相关的文件。
这些文件包括所有与米非司酮相关的不良事件报告、相关内部数据库以及其他一系列文件。
截至发稿，两家公司均未立即回应福克斯新闻数字频道的置评请求。
此次调查距霍利提出一项新法案以剥夺FDA对米非司酮的批准仅约一周。

新法案是在霍利去年提出的一项拟议立法基础上制定的，该立法将禁止米非司酮并允许女性起诉被他认定为”本质上危险”的药物制造商获利。
《保护女性免受化学堕胎伤害法案》于周二在参议院提出，将禁止使用米非司酮终止妊娠。

“科学明确表明：这种化学堕胎药物对女性本质上是危险的，且容易被滥用。然而，像Danco Laboratories这样的大公司却从中赚取数十亿美元，”霍利在一份声明中告诉福克斯新闻数字频道。”这就是为什么我提出新法案，禁止将米非司酮用于堕胎，并赋予女性起诉其制造商的权利。国会必须立即采取行动，保护女性的健康和安全。”

如果该立法获得通过，将撤销FDA对该药物的批准，并将用于堕胎的分销行为归类为违反联邦法律。根据古特马赫研究所的数据，2023年，米非司酮在美国所有堕胎中占比63%。
古特马赫研究所（Guttmacher Institute）是一家曾与计划生育协会有联系的非营利研究机构，该机构还估计2024年有1,038,100例由临床医生实施的堕胎。然而，这一数字仅涵盖没有堕胎禁令的州，不包括在非正规医疗系统中进行的堕胎或堕胎法律不同的州的堕胎案例。
霍利去年5月提出另一项法案时，就对堕胎药表示担忧，该法案将指示FDA为米非司酮建立安全保障措施，允许遭受并发症的女性有权起诉远程医疗服务提供者和药房要求赔偿。
华盛顿特区伦理与公共政策中心（EPPC）的研究显示，使用米非司酮的副作用发生率是FDA批准的药品标签中所述的22倍。
该研究显示，超过十分之一的女性报告经历了”感染、出血或其他严重或危及生命的不良事件”。

Hawley launches investigation into abortion drug manufacturers over ‘grave risks’ to women
Published March 19, 2026 12:40pm EDT | Fox News
Sen. Josh Hawley, R-Mo., is launching investigations into two mifepristone manufacturers that he says profited off the abortion drug despite evidence that it “poses grave risks to women.”
Hawley notified the two companies, Danco Laboratories and GenBioPro, in letters addressed to the heads of the companies that were obtained by Fox News Digital. The letters notify company administrators that he is opening an investigation via the Senate Judiciary Subcommittee on Crime and Counterterrorism, which he chairs.
“Mounting evidence suggests that mifepristone poses grave risks to women. Yet your company has continued to profit from the widespread distribution of this drug even as serious questions have emerged about hemorrhage, infection, sepsis, and other dangerous complications associated with its use,” Hawley wrote to both companies.
“Congress must determine what your company knew about the harms associated with mifepristone, when it knew it, what it told regulators, and what it may have failed to disclose to women and the public,” he added.

The letters demand that the companies share documents relating to the investigation by April 24.
Those documents include all adverse event reports relating to mifepristone, relevant internal databases and a litany of other documents.
Neither company immediately responded to a request for comment from Fox News Digital.
The investigation comes roughly a week after Hawley introduced a new bill to strip FDA approval from mifepristone.

The new bill builds upon proposed legislation Hawley introduced last year that would ban mifepristone and allow women to sue manufacturers profiting from what the lawmaker deems an “inherently dangerous” drug.
The Safeguarding Women from Chemical Abortion Act was introduced in the Senate Tuesday and would prohibit the use of mifepristone for ending pregnancies.

“The science is clear: The chemical abortion drug is inherently dangerous to women and prone to abuse. Yet major companies like Danco Laboratories are making billions off it,” Hawley told Fox News Digital in a statement. “That’s why I am introducing new legislation to ban the use of mifepristone for abortion and empower women to sue its manufacturers. Congress must act now to protect the health and safety of women.”

If passed, the legislation would withdraw FDA approval for the drug and classify its distribution for abortion as a violation of federal law. In 2023, mifepristone was used in 63% of all abortions in the U.S., according to data from the Guttmacher Institute.
The Guttmacher Institute, a nonprofit research organization formerly affiliated with Planned Parenthood, also estimates there were 1,038,100 clinician-provided abortions in 2024. However, that figure accounts only for states without abortion bans and does not include abortions performed outside the formal healthcare system or in states where abortion laws differ.
Hawley raised concerns about the abortion pill last May when he introduced a separate bill that would direct the FDA to create safeguards on mifepristone, allowing women who suffered complications the right to sue telehealth providers and pharmacies for damages.
Research by the Ethics and Public Policy Center (EPPC) in Washington, D.C., showed the rate of side effects when using mifepristone is 22 times higher than indications from the FDA-approved drug label.
The study revealed more than one in 10 women have reported experiencing “infection, hemorrhaging, or another serious or life-threatening adverse event.”
