WASHINGTON (AP) — Federal health officials have approved another generic version of the abortion pill, prompting outrage from some abortion opponents aligned with President Donald Trump. Anti-abortion groups quickly criticized the move Thursday, calling it a “stain” on the Trump administration. The groups have been pushing for a safety review of mifepristone for months. The FDA first approved the drug as a safe and effective way to end pregnancies in 2000. The new version of the pill is from drugmaker Evita Solutions. It’s not the first generic version, which FDA previously approved in 2019.
