Retraction of study used in mifepristone litigation
A Charlotte Lozier Institute-associated study about emergency-room visits after medication abortion was retracted after an investigation identified unsupported assumptions, misleading presentation, insufficient scientific rigor, and undisclosed conflicts or organizational affiliations. The study had been cited in a federal lawsuit challenging the FDA's approval of mifepristone.

Anthony Museum and House have disputed that interpretation, arguing that Anthony did not develop a documented political position on abortion and that quotations attributed to her have been misidentified or taken out of context.
