The Spin

Democratic narrative

Mifepristone has an impeccable safety record, and there is no reason for the FDA to subject it to the same strict restrictions as several high-risk medications, which are usually opioids or anti-psychotic sedatives. In a post-Roe world, women need access to the gold standard in medical abortion, and they’re being put in danger by the FDA’s tight rules.

Republican narrative

Democrats refer to mifepristone as a medication but conveniently leave out the fact that it leads to the death of an unborn child, not to mention the impact it has on a woman’s body. Since mifepristone could be as dangerous as some of the other drugs the FDA holds to similar standards, this suit is based on an inaccurate description of the pill. It's a risky way for these states to flout newfound abortion regulations since the end of Roe.
