The Astonishing Plot Of Smuggling Mifepristone Into The U.S

Mifepristone has recently been in the headlines after conflicting court rulings about the abortion drug's FDA approval more than 20 years ago. But even before that, the drug had been the subject of controversy. Cover Up: The Pill Plot, is a new podcast series that shares the shocking story of how mifepristone was smuggled into the U.S., kicked off a U.S. Supreme Court battle, and led to the founding of a secret lab to manufacture a copy of the drug. Reset talks to creator and host of the series, TJ Raphael, about why this history has yet to be told and what it reveals about the current debate.
