In light of the tragic deaths of two women in Georgia who took abortion drugs, the conversation around women’s health and safety has reached a critical juncture. As a pro-life U.S. senator and a pro-life OB/GYN, we feel compelled to challenge the narratives propagated by abortion advocates, which falsely claim that pro-life laws jeopardize women’s lives and that abortion drugs are as safe as Tylenol.
Vice President Kamala Harris has asserted that pro-life laws endanger women by restricting access to and even criminalizing health care. This narrative is false — no state prosecutes women for having an abortion. No state criminalizes miscarriages or the care associated with them. No state criminalizes removing an ectopic pregnancy. No state prohibits lifesaving care for the mother of an unborn child. There is no state where a woman has to be actively dying for a doctor to be able to care for her. But the rhetoric from Harris and the left instills fear rather than provide clarity.
