Pro-abortion Rep. Cori Bush (D-Mo.), who has said<\/a> her first abortion following rape was “the beginning of … the darkest period of my life,” and that her second abortion was forced, claimed<\/a> Monday that banning the abortion pill was the equivalent of banning Tylenol.<\/p>\n

During a House Oversight Committee discussion on “Medication Abortion Access and Republican Efforts to Ban Abortion Nationwide,” Bush said, “Banning medication abortion would be like placing a ban on Tylenol [or] a ban on antibiotics. There is no scientific, no valid medical reason to do so. It is only political propaganda.” She repeatedly said the abortion pill is “safe and effective.”<\/p>\n

She also claimed, “Medication abortion is a lifeline. A lifeline for the person working multiple jobs that cannot afford to take a day off work because wages are too low or they don’t have paid sick leave, a lifeline for the mom of two who cannot afford childcare or cannot find affordable childcare.”<\/p>\n
