Florida AG sues Planned Parenthood over abortion pill safety claim

Planned Parenthood’s website says the abortion pill is safer than medicines “like penicillin, Tylenol, and Viagra.”

The 37-page lawsuit focuses in part on statements about the safety of mifepristone and misoprostol, which are used to induce chemical abortions.

Serious problems are rare, but like all medicines, there can be risks,” the website says.
