<\/div>

In the push for legalized abortion prior to Roe v. Wade<\/em>, abortion advocates discussed the “need” for legal abortion, emphasizing the dangers<\/a> of at-home abortion attempts.\u00a0Today, those concerns seem to have been pushed aside for the sake of profit. Senator Ted Cruz and Live Action president Lila Rose recently joined forces in a National Review<\/a>\u00a0op-ed, calling for the federal government to ban the use of the abortion pill (mifepristone). Cruz and Rose said what the abortion industry, which is promoting dangerous DIY at-home abortions, will never admit: the abortion pill is deadly. It is also profitable, and few know this better than abortion industry insider, Dr. Daniel Grossman<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Grossman<\/span>\u00a0is the director<\/a> of Advancing New Standards in Reproductive Health (ANSIRH) at the University of California, San Francisco (UCSF), and is a Senior Advisor at Ibis Reproductive Health, an organization working<\/a>\u00a0to make abortion “easy to access” and “available without unnecessary medical requirements or legal impediments.”\u00a0He is also an abortionist and abortionist trainer with connections<\/a> to the abortion pill’s manufacturer, Danco. Last year, he attempted to muzzle<\/a> Live Action’s pro-life message as one of Facebook’s “third-party fact checkers.” Now, he has decided to have another go at fact checking, this time setting his sights on Cruz and Rose’s op-ed, alluding to his desire for more<\/em> women to obtain the abortion pill, as is evident by his title rewrite. The rest of his so-called fact checking falls short as well.<\/p>\n

Hi @tedcruz<\/a> & @LilaGraceRose<\/a>. I saw your latest op-ed on the court's decision to make medication abortions more accessible in a few states during the coronavirus pandemic.<\/p>\n

I hope you won't mind if I offer a few edits and fact check the piece. ? pic.twitter.com\/wRtMwpJec7<\/a><\/p>\n
