Heidi Overton, a New Mexico doctor with ties to Johns Hopkins and the University of New Mexico, is Trump’s pick to lead the FDA — a role now under intense scrutiny as the agency weighs abortion medication policies. A vocal pro-life advocate who calls Roe v. Wade’s overturning a “huge victory for life,” Overton opposes mailing abortion drugs and has drawn sharp criticism from New Mexico Democrats, who label her an “anti-abortion activist” and warn of broader impacts on reproductive and public health policies. With Senate confirmation looming, her nomination is poised to ignite a major political showdown.
