Episode notes
New Study Reveals High Risks
- A large new study shows nearly 11% of women suffer serious complications from mifepristone abortions.
- This rate is at least 22 times higher than the FDA's previously claimed rate under 0.5%.
Abortion Pill Is Not Like Tylenol
- Comparing the abortion pill to Tylenol is misleading and false.
- Unlike Tylenol, a successful abortion pill use always results in the death of a developing human life.
Reinstate Original Safety Protocols
- The FDA should reinstate the original safety protocols required at mifepristone's approval.
- Doing so would likely reduce harm and improve monitoring for the drug's continued market approval.
