The Abortion Pill

Why is it dangerous?

Myth: The abortion pill is safer than Tylenol.

28 women didn't overdose on mifepristone. This drug, taken as prescribed, killed them.

  • Mifepristone, taken at a normal dosage, has nearly 3 times the death rate of overdoses from Tylenol.

  • Mifepristone has an ER visit rate 3,000x higher and a hospitalization rate over 8,750x higher than Tylenol.

If an abortion seeker is not examined by a doctor in-person before taking the abortion pill, preventable complications may become life-threatening. 

Deregulation of mifepristone and relaxation of its Risk Evaluation and Mitigation Strategy will kill more pregnant people.

Deregulation enables dangerous abortion pill trafficking by mail.

Christie Pitney in Washington, DC is just one example of an abortion provider who is willing to prioritize profits and overlook patient safety when dealing out mifepristone.
