The Senate confirms Trump’s anti-abortion pick to lead the FDA

Senate votes to confirm Martin Makary as Food and Drug Administration Commissioner.

Makary has made no secret about his anti-abortion views.

Anti-abortion Republicans want to roll back access to abortion pills, which now account for more than half of all abortions.

He could lead efforts to reinstate the in-person requirement to access abortion pills.

Makary said he has no "preconceived plans" to restrict mifepristone, a medication abortion drug, during his confirmation hearing.

Makary 's confirmation could further erode abortion access nationwide, abortion rights advocates say.

Anti-abortion opponents brought the argument to the Supreme Court last year when they sought to restrict access to the drug.
