Democrat Rep. Compares Abortion Pills to Headache Medication (VIDEO)

On Monday, a Democratic Representative compared the abortion pill mifepristone to the headache and pain reliever Tylenol, even referring to the abortion pills as a “lifeline” for women.

Representative Cori Bush (D-MO) made the comments during a discussion on “Medication Abortion Access and Republican Efforts to Ban Abortion Nationwide.” Bush was joined by fellow Democrats on the House Oversight Committee, including Maryland Rep. Jamie Raskin and Texas Rep. Jasmine Crockett.

“Banning medication abortion would be like placing a ban on Tylenol [or] a ban on antibiotics,” Bush said. “There is no scientific, no valid medical reason to do so. It is only political propaganda.”

The Missouri congresswoman claimed the pills were “effective” and “safe” and said they were “no different from any other medication that’s safe and effective.” She said that for 23 years, the Food and Drug Administration approved of the pills, and went on to explain that, in her view, abortion pills are actually a “lifeline.”

“Medication abortion is a lifeline,” she said. “A lifeline for the person working multiple jobs that cannot afford to take a day off work because wages are too low or they don’t have paid sick leave, a lifeline for the mom of two who cannot afford childcare or cannot find affordable childcare.”

Rep. Cori Bush says restricting access to abortion pills is equivalent to “placing a ban on Tylenol.”

Last I checked Tylenol didn’t kill babies, but ok…pic.twitter.com/OAR954RtgJ
