""It is vile that Planned Parenthood cares more about lining their pockets than providing women with factual information about the health risks of chemical abortion drugs," Uthmeier in an accompanying statement provided to Jezebel. "When it comes to health and safety in Florida, we won't tolerate blatant lies using fabricated medical 'facts' that have no scientific basis.""
"Something we repeatedly bang on about here at Jezebel-aside from the fact that Mike Johnson monitors porn intake with his son-is that mifepristone is safe. It is safer than Viagra and safer than, yes, Tylenol. It is the most common form of abortion medication in the U.S., and it accounted for 1 in 4 abortions in 2023, thanks in part to shield laws, which allow providers in states where abortion rights are protected to prescribe the pill to patients in states with abortion bans."
Florida Attorney General James Uthmeier filed a 37-page lawsuit against Planned Parenthood alleging that Planned Parenthood falsely claimed Tylenol is safer than mifepristone. The suit seeks $10,000 for each time a Planned Parenthood affiliate "committed" what Uthmeier terms a "chemical abortion" and demands $350 million in penalties. Uthmeier accused Planned Parenthood of prioritizing profit over accurate health information and promised to combat what he called "blatant lies" and "fabricated medical 'facts.'" Mifepristone is described as safe, safer than Viagra and Tylenol, and accounted for one in four abortions in 2023, aided by shield laws enabling cross-state prescribing. The GOP continues to promote a study from the Ethics and Public Policy Center.
