Most doctors can\u2019t prescribe it. Pharmacists don\u2019t know much about it, since it doesn\u2019t sit on the shelves at CVS or Walgreens.

The most current data <a href=\"https:\/\/archive.liveaction.org\/news\/data-abortion-pill-ended-5-million-babies\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">published<\/a> by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) shows that mifepristone has likely ended the lives of nearly 5 million preborn children since its approval in 2000 (an average of more than 230,000 human beings yearly). Has Tylenol ended the lives of 5 million human beings? According to an article in ProPublica, the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.propublica.org\/article\/tylenol-mcneil-fda-use-only-as-directed\">accidental death toll<\/a> of Tylenol&#8217;s active ingredient, acetaminophen, was 1,567 from 2001-2010 (an average of 157 people yearly).<\/p>\n<p>But never mind the obvious; Koons failed to make her case by not breaking down how many Tylenol dosages are used per year versus the number of women who take the abortion pill, a minor omission that could have a large impact on the overall comparison.
