Robert F. Kennedy Jr had an absolute trainwreck of a confirmation hearing. Kennedy, who had been a vocal vaccine skeptic and preached numerous disproven conspiracy theories, was lambasted for his anti-science stance and his refusal to stop suing the very companies he now wants to regulate.

A key issue in the hearing has been whether Robert F. Kennedy Jr. would increase scrutiny of the abortion drug mifepristone if he becomes HHS secretary. The drug is part of a two-step process that is now the most common way to end a pregnancy in the U.

A new study shows a possible new abortion drug to replace mifepristone. But will these results increase abortion access—or restrict women's reproductive health options down the line?

Texas already has one of the strictest abortion bans in the country. Anti-abortion advocates are working to close the remaining loopholes.

Democratic Sen. Sheldon Whitehouse slammed Kennedy for what he called his anti-vaccine views and past statements citing rising measles cases. "Frankly, you frighten people," the Rhode Island senator, who has been a long-time friend of the nominee, said.

The new Trump administration could put a stop to pending litigation on the abortion pill mifepristone and other federal abortion policies through changes at the Department of Health and Human Services, according to a top anti-abortion lawyer involved in several pending cases.

Trump’s nominee for HHS secretary said he supported policies that restrict abortion and said he didn’t know whether federal law allows emergency abortions in states that ban the procedure.

The time Robert F. Kennedy Jr. spent in New Hampshire as a presidential candidate became the subject of key moments during his U.S. Senate confirmation hearing on Wednesday.

Several states are trying to curtail abortion medication by claiming mifepristone could contaminate drinking water.

In the three-hour hearing, Kennedy fielded questions on his interpretation of Title X, late-term abortions, mifepristone, stem-cell research and medical conscience rights.

Robert F. Kennedy Jr. made several disturbing comments during his first Senate confirmation hearing Wednesday suggesting that, as Donald Trump’s secretary of health and human services, he’s hoping to limit access to the abortion pill mifepristone.
