Trump’s FDA pick to face scrutiny over abortion pill access at confirmation hearing

Dr. Heidi Overton, President Donald Trump's nominee for the Food and Drug Administration, will testify before the Senate HELP committee this Thursday. She faces scrutiny regarding abortion pill access and Trump's claims that the measles vaccine is lethal. Simultaneously, Senator Susan Collins faces a test of her abortion-rights stance. Meanwhile, Students for Life of America threatens to sue the FDA, alleging the agency bypassed Endangered Species Act reviews concerning the environmental risks of mifepristone.
