Republican Sen. Josh Hawley of Missouri on Wednesday announced he is introducing a bill that would ban the abortion pill on the grounds that it is a danger to the women who take it.

“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,” the pro-life senator said, according to a news release on Hawley’s website.

He said the bill would not only ban mifepristone, but also “empower women to sue its manufacturers. Congress must act now to protect the health and safety of women.”

Republican Rep. Diana Harshbarger of Tennessee said she would introduce a companion version of the bill in the House.

“Evidence now suggests that the real-world risks to women are far greater than the federal government has acknowledged,” she said in the news release. “That’s why I’m proud to join Senator Hawley in introducing the Safeguarding Women from Chemical Abortion Act, to restore accountability and help ensure that women’s health — not politics — guides federal drug policy.”

The release stated almost 11 percent of women who use the drug have a serious health complication within 45 days.

“Because the drug comes in capsule form and because it is at this juncture almost completely unregulated, it is inherently prone to abuse,” Hawley said, according to WGN-TV in Chicago.

“Over the years, one liberal administration after another, President Obama and then President Biden, removed almost all of the safety protocols around mifepristone such that today it is almost wholly unregulated,” he said. “They did it because of abortion politics. They did it because they wanted to turn mifepristone into the driver of abortion on demand.”

During a Wednesday media event, several women who took mifepristone said the drug multiplied the effects of killing their babies, according to a report about Hawley’s bill published by the World News Group, an explicitly Christian news organization based in Asheville, North Carolina.

One woman quoted in the World New Group’s report said the bleeding she experienced was so intense that she was put on life support.

“I developed a severe infection behind my uterus that went undetected until it became life-threatening. My condition deteriorated so rapidly that I was rushed into the ICU,” she said, according to WGN, noting she had a partial hysterectomy.

“I was [in a] medically induced coma for a month. During this time, I required several blood transfusions,” she said.

Hawley’s website included statements from pro-life leaders praising the bill, noting that mail-order abortion is one reason the United States actually saw an increase in abortions after the Supreme Court’s Dobbs decision that overturned Roe v. Wade:

“The Biden-era policy that enabled the abortion industry to adopt an ‘Amazon-style’ model—shipping abortion drugs directly to doorsteps across America, even into states where unborn life is protected—has contributed to a dramatic increase in the killing of unborn children following the overturning of Roe v. Wade, rather than the decrease many expected,” said Tony Perkins, president of the Family Research Council.

Marjorie Dannenfelser, president of SBA Pro-Life America, said the bill addressed the biggest issue in abortion availability.

“The number 1 factor making abortion America’s top cause of death is mail-order abortion drugs, a dangerous relic of the Covid and Biden era that inexplicably continues to this day. This makes it impossible for states to protect women and children, creating a severe public health crisis,”  Dannenfelser said.

Lila Rose, Founder and President of Live Action, said the bill is overdue.

The abortion pill “has fueled a deadly and deeply inhumane abortion industry that has killed millions of preborn babies and leaves women abandoned to suffer the physical and emotional consequences alone,” she said.

“For years, the abortion lobby has marketed these drugs as safe and easy while concealing the truth: nearly every time a pregnant mother takes the abortion pill, it ends the life of her living human child, and far too many women are left without real medical care when they are hemorrhaging or have a blood infection due to the abortion pill.”

As noted by KMOV-TV in St. Louis, Hawley introduced the bill last year, but it did not pass.

Alex Karp, during an interview with CNBC on Thursday.

Palantir CEO Alex Karp has said that artificial intelligence (AI) could shift economic influence away from highly educated voters who tend to support Democrats and toward vocationally trained, working-class men.

In an interview with CNBC, Karp discussed the broader societal impact of artificial intelligence and how it is expected to transform employment.

“This technology disrupts humanities-trained, largely Democratic voters, and makes their economic power less.”

“And increases the economic power of vocationally trained, working-class, often male, uh voters,” Karp said.

“So these disruptions are gonna disrupt every aspect of our society,” he said.

“To make this work, we have to come to an agreement of what it is we’re going to do with the technology; how are we gonna explain to people who are likely gonna have less good, and less interesting jobs.”

The data analytics and artificial intelligence company, which was founded by Trump backer Peter Thiel, builds platforms designed to analyze enormous datasets and is widely used by governments, intelligence agencies, and major corporations.

Palantir first gained prominence for its work with U.S. intelligence and defense agencies, including the CIA, the Department of Defense, and other national security bodies.

Its software has been used for counterterrorism analysis, military planning, and intelligence operations.

In recent years, the company has also expanded into commercial sectors, providing data and artificial intelligence platforms to companies in industries such as healthcare, manufacturing, finance, and energy.

However, Karp insisted that the technology still carries serious risks but that America must win the AI race against adversaries such as China.

“These technologies are dangerous societally,” Karp said.

“The only justification you could possibly have would be that if we don’t do it, our adversaries will do it,” he continued. “And we will be subject to their rule of law.”

“Why is it that we’re absorbing the risk of disrupting the very fabric of our society, including the most powerful parts of our society, if it’s not because it’s about maintaining our ability to be American in the near term and long term?” he said.

Karp has previously suggested America has empathy for everyone except for working-class white males.
