Would the FDA approve aspirin today?

No. It causes birth defects in white rats, and though its use has never demonstrated a connection to fetal birth defects, it would never get the chance to be demonstrated to be safe in pregnant humans as we do not experiment or test drugs on pregnant humans.

Prager also mentioned other side effects. One of them is Reye Syndrome among children. This fact would knock the dentures out of all the FDA examiners and would send them running for the ban hammer, never mind the more common, less severe side effects. The rat birth defects alone would be sufficient to block any further testing in the approval process.
