Planned Parenthood Sued by Missouri Attorney General for Lying About Abortion Pill Dangers

Washington, D.C. – Lila Rose, founder and president of Live Action, released the following statement in response to Missouri Attorney General Andrew Bailey’s lawsuit  against Planned Parenthood Federation of America for deceiving women about the dangers of the abortion pill:

“Planned Parenthood is not just lying to women, it is actively endangering their lives for profit. This lawsuit confirms what we have long known. Planned Parenthood pushes dangerous abortion drugs with full knowledge that women are being harmed. They tell women that the abortion pill is safer than Tylenol, even though it sends thousands to the emergency room and has left countless women bleeding, traumatized, and alone.

The greatest tragedy of the abortion pill is not even the risk to women, it is that every single pill is designed to kill a living, growing child in the womb. This is violence, not medicine. 

A recent study from the Ethics and Public Policy Center reviewed over 800,000 chemical abortions cases and revealed that one in ten women experienced serious complications. These included sepsis, hemorrhage, infection, and hospitalization. That rate is over 20 times higher than what the FDA claims.

I commend Attorney General Bailey for taking bold action to hold this corrupt and deadly corporation accountable. Every woman deserves the truth. Every child deserves protection. No business that profits from death and deception should be allowed to operate without consequence. It is time to defund Planned Parenthood permanently, ban the abortion pill and protect the lives of women and children across America.”
