President Donald Trump nominates Dr. Heidi Overton, a White House advisor, to lead the FDA. Reports say Dr. Overton has a record of supporting the unborn. This comes amid public pressure for the FDA to reinstall safety measures on the distribution and availability of the dangerous abortion drug Mifepristone. The guidelines relaxed under the Biden Administration remain in place. Marjorie Dannenfelser, president of Susan B. Anthony Pro-Life America, describes her interactions with Dr. Overton, what the nomination signals about the Trump Administration’s attitude on life issues and previews the nominee’s Senate Confirmation hearings.
