Trump's new nominee for FDA commissioner has called abortion "corrosive" to women and called completely safe and routine medication abortion "dangerous."

Someone who is anti-science and anti-reproductive health should not lead the FDA.

Dr. Overton is a fierce opponent of abortion rights and a supporter of Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr.’s Make America Healthy Again agenda.

ICYMI: Last year, with our partners, we sued the Trump administration after they tried to attach illegal new restrictions on funds from the Violence Against Women Act. They tried to require organizations receiving federal funds to certify they wouldn’t engage in activities or programs centered on “gender ideology” or “illegal DEI” activities or to “fund, facilitate, or promote” abortion.

Those restrictions put service providers in an impossible position, forcing them to choose between complying with the administration’s unlawful demands and losing funding for programs that survivors, young people, and people experiencing homelessness rely on every day.

But the Trump administration made a fundamental mistake by putting political ideology ahead of the safety of survivors and the purpose of these federal grants. Rather than follow the evidence and support organizations doing the hard work of preventing and responding to violence, the administration targeted organizations and communities it wanted to eliminate — including transgender people. Now, those organizations can continue doing that vital work supporting impacted communities.

Survivors deserve to be believed, supported, and protected in the courtroom and far beyond it.

That’s why NWLC is proud to house the TIME’S UP Legal Defense Fund, the only nationwide resource connecting survivors of workplace s*x harassment and retaliation with legal support, so they do not have to fight alone.

Our work for survivors continues every single day.
