The research has already been done. Mifepristone is extremely safe.
RFK Jr. has said he will look into the “safety issues” of mifepristone, which is used to manage abortions, miscarriages, and even high blood sugar.
We can save him some time.
We have over 100 studies that prove that mifepristone is extremely safe – even safer than Tylenol.
