According to the Association of Reproductive Health Professionals, four health products and/or conditions are listed for death rates of those using them. Listed are: Tylenol at 150 deaths per year, pregnancy related at 13 per every 100,000 live births, Viagra at 5 per 100,000, and mifepristone (abortion pill) at 1 per 100,000. As the numbers show, taking Tylenol or Viagra, or carrying a baby to birth, are more dangerous than abortion pills.
Now I am not judging whether abortion is right or wrong, I am not a woman having to deal with pregnancy. All I am saying is that a judge in Texas has banned the use of mifepristone because he says it is dangerous. If that is the reason he uses to ban anything, he should also ban Tylenol, carrying babies and Viagra before banning mifepristone because they are more fatal.
Of the 13 deaths caused by having babies to full term, only one is caused by the use of the abortion pill.
