Summary: The U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops, representing a coalition of Catholic healthcare and pastoral organizations, supports the petition's call for stricter safety protocols regarding telemedicine chemical abortions. They argue that the FDA has an ethical obligation to reinstate requirements such as in-person consultations, pelvic ultrasounds, and comprehensive adverse event reporting to protect women's health and ensure informed consent.
On behalf of the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops, please find attached, as a comment responsive to the petition from the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists, documents recently sent by the USCCB and other organizations to the FDA regarding the matter that is the subject of the petition.
