How do you feel about the lawsuit seeking to reverse the FDA’s approval of mifepristone?

👍 Strongly agree (15%) – "This drug is ending an innocent life, and women who take it also are putting themselves at a high risk of major complications, which may or may not be disclosed to them. This could be damaging not only to the physical body but to their mental state."

📈 Agree/Somewhat agree (6%) – "There is scientific evidence that life begins at conception. Using abortion pills in an attempt to circumvent accountability for making irresponsible sexual decisions does not justify the extinguishing of that life."

🤷 Neutral (8%) – "I don't have enough information to have an opinion about whether the FDA acted too hastily. If they did then we need to complete the studies regarding its safety, whether it endangers anyone's life. Data from ~20 years of its use may help resolve the issue."

📉 Disagree/Somewhat disagree (10%) – "It has been proven safe and it helps women that did not choose an abortion, but miscarried or have health conditions that could jeopardize their health if there is no access--or create more risk to them if they need surgical intervention instead."

👎 Strongly disagree (61%) – "This is an absolutely baseless case, being used to manipulate executive branch functions. This drug has been used for DECADES safely. It has had thousands of case studies over those years, and has been proven safe. To say now that it is "unproven" and "inadequately tested" is pure fabrication."

• "I am a strong supporter of a woman's right to bodily autonomy. But aside from that, I think it is inappropriate and irresponsible to try to take an FDA-approved drug off the market unless there is overwhelming evidence that its current use causes significant harm, like with oxycontin."

"Mifepristone isn't just used for abortions, but for miscarriages at well, which the mother bears no responsibility for. Mifepristone can be life-saving for the mother. No matter your stance on abortion, abortions are going to occur. Whether it can be done in a safe, medically sound way that protects the mother is the real issue. The protection of medicine such as Mifepristone is crucial and will prevent deaths more than it will cause them."

• "Republicans have been trying to get rid of ALL forms of birth control for as long as I can remember. They don't care about woman. They care about controlling them and forcing conformity into their "belief system". Woman need this drug in order to protect themselves. If this were a class action lawsuit by the people who ACTUALLY were harmed by the drug that would be one thing, otherwise, it is just a smoke and mirrors excuse coming from the right."
