Aware of the properties inherent within Mifepristone, it was banned from importation to the United States in 1989; under the administration of [[Bill Clinton]] - as well as pressure from pro-abortion groups - the ban was reversed in 1993, and production of the pill was given to the Danco Group.  Full approval for use was granted in September, 2000 by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration.
