US EditionMissouri AG sues Planned Parenthood for allegedly lying about dangers of abortion drugs
MISSOURI, JUL 23 – Missouri AG Andrew Bailey alleges Planned Parenthood misled women on abortion pill risks, citing studies showing up to 11% serious adverse events and seeking over $1.8 million in penalties.
- On July 23, Missouri’s Attorney General Andrew Bailey initiated legal action against Planned Parenthood, accusing the organization of providing patients with misleading information about the safety risks associated with the abortion medication mifepristone.
- Bailey's suit follows the 2022 overturning of Roe v. Wade and accuses Planned Parenthood of falsely equating mifepristone's safety with common over-the-counter drugs like Tylenol.
- The lawsuit alleges that Planned Parenthood engaged in deceptive advertising by falsely promoting the abortion pill as safer than Tylenol and Viagra, violating Missouri’s consumer protection law, and seeks more than $1.8 million in fines along with compensation for women who used the medication in Missouri over the past five years.
- Bailey accused the national Planned Parenthood group of putting women and girls in danger nationwide by disseminating false information about the widely used chemical abortion medication, while Planned Parenthood representatives dismissed the lawsuit as baseless and reaffirmed the drug's FDA-approved safety record.
- This legal action highlights ongoing disputes over abortion pill safety data, with clinical studies showing serious complications under 0.5% whereas other analyses claim nearly 11%, indicating contrasting interpretations with significant policy and healthcare implications.
