CNA Staff, Jul 24, 2025 \/ 15:05 pm (CNA).<\/p>\n

Missouri filed a lawsuit this week against the national Planned Parenthood organization, alleging that the abortion giant has \u201csystematically misled\u201d women about the risks associated with chemical abortion pills.<\/p>\n

On Wednesday, Missouri Attorney General Andrew Bailey announced that his office had filed a lawsuit in state circuit court<\/a> against Planned Parenthood Federation of America, alleging that the corporation \u201csystematically misled women about the dangers of chemical abortions in order to cut costs and drive up revenue at the risk of women\u2019s health and safety.\u201d<\/p>\n

Bailey said the abortion provider promulgates \u201cdangerous claims\u201d about the drug, including claiming that it is safer than common household drugs such as Tylenol.<\/p>\n

This is \u201cdespite FDA labeling and peer-reviewed studies\u201d showing severe adverse events associated with the pill rising in some cases to the double digits.<\/p>\n

Concerns about the safety of chemical abortion pills have been heightened in recent months after a bombshell study in April found that more than 10% of women who take an abortion pill will suffer \u201cserious adverse events,\u201d<\/a> including hemorrhaging, infections, and other health crises. <\/p>\n

U.S. Food and Drug Commissioner Marty Makary said in June that his agency will conduct a review of the abortion drug mifepristone<\/a> following that study and several other investigations into the safety of the pills.<\/p>\n

The lawsuit alleges that Planned Parenthood violated the Missouri Merchandising Practices Act, a state-level consumer protection law.<\/p>\n

Bailey\u2019s office said the state is seeking nearly $2 million in civil penalties as well as \u201cup to $1,000 in damages or restitution for every Missouri woman Planned Parenthood provided abortion pills to in the past five years.\u201d The suit is also demanding paybacks into the state Medicaid system.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe lies must stop. We\u2019re holding the national Planned Parenthood entity accountable for the lies it tells women in Missouri and across the nation,\u201d Bailey said in the release, adding: \u201cNo one is above the law, not even Planned Parenthood.\u201d<\/p>\n

Though the government has moved in recent months to investigate the safety of abortion pills, President Donald Trump said prior to his inauguration in January that it was his \u201ccommitment\u201d to ensure that abortion pills remain available<\/a> in the U.S.<\/p>\n

Chemical abortions account for about half<\/a> of the abortions in the United States every year.<\/p>\n

Abortion advocates have increasingly turned to chemical abortions in the wake of the 2022 repeal of Roe v. Wade. Numerous states have instituted abortion bans after that repeal, though abortion pills have remained widely available.<\/p>\n
