Missouri Attorney General Andrew Bailey has filed a lawsuit on behalf of the state of Missouri against Planned Parenthood Federation of America (PPFA).
The lawsuit alleges that PPFA is violating the Missouri Merchandising Practices Act by claiming chemical abortion drugs are “safer” than many other medicines, including Tylenol and penicillin.
AG Bailey announced in a press release, “The national Planned Parenthood organization is actively endangering the lives of women and girls across the country by spreading lies and disinformation about the powerful chemical abortion drug.”
“The facts are clear: more than 4.5 percent of women who take this dangerous drug end up in the emergency room, yet Planned Parenthood compares it to Tylenol. This is a blatant violation of Missouri law, and I will not allow a death factory to lie to Missouri women in pursuit of its radical agenda.”
According to the lawsuit, PPFA “uses its website to make dangerous claims, such as calling the chemical abortion drug ‘safer than many other medicines like penicillin, Tylenol, and Viagra,’ despite FDA labeling and peer-reviewed studies showing serious adverse events in more than 4.5 percent of cases, with new research suggesting even higher rates, closer to more than 10 percent.”
The lawsuit further claims that women are encouraged to conceal their abortion drug use from their own emergency medical providers, significantly increasing the risk of complications.
Attorney General Bailey’s petition seeks:
• More than $1.8 million in civil penalties for daily violations of Missouri law;
• Up to $1,000 in damages or restitution for every Missouri woman Planned Parenthood
provided abortion pills to in the past five years;
• Reimbursement to the state for Medicaid and other taxpayer-funded emergency care resulting from abortion pill complications;
• A court order halting Planned Parenthood Federation of America from continuing to promote these falsehoods in Missouri.
“The lies must stop. We’re holding the national Planned Parenthood entity accountable for the lies it tells women in Missouri and across the nation,” concluded Attorney General Bailey. “No one is above the law, not even Planned Parenthood.”

The Ethics & Public Policy Center conducted the largest-known study of the abortion pill based on analysis of data from an all-payer insurance claims database that includes 865,727 prescribed mifepristone abortions from 2017 to 2023.
The study notes, “10.93 percent of women experience sepsis, infection, hemorrhaging, or another serious adverse event within 45 days following a mifepristone abortion” and the real-world rate of serious adverse events following mifepristone abortions “is at least 22 times as high as the summary figure of ‘less than 0.5 percent’ in clinical trials reported on the drug label.
