Medical toxicologist here to confirm: all available, real-world data has proven mifepristone is actually even safer than many over the counter medicines.
Mortality rates:
Mifepristone: 0.65/100,000
Penicillin 2/100K
Viagra 4/100K
Pregnancy in the US: 22/100,000 (some states see rates >60/100K)

FYI
Viagra has more serious side effects than Mifepristone
Mifepristone has a lower risk of side effects than penicillin
So why is it such a big deal to these GOP boys anyway?

Mexico held a protest against Trump, decrying his fascism, ethnic cleansing campaign and his collaboration with Middle Eastern dictatorships (Saudi Arabia, UAE, Qatar) and the Israeli government's crimes against humanity in Gaza.
They hung a piñata of Trump and hit it.

they are performing depravity so that you will despair. the reason the president is announcing concentration camps at Gitmo is not so that you will be deluded into not noticing the collapse but so that you will be deluded into believing you are already dead.
We say that people don't notice constitutional regime collapse because it comes on too slowly but I'm not sure how much faster it could be happening; we are literally at concentration camps on day 9.
