Fear of immigrants. Fear of Muslims. Fear of abortion medication. Fear of cultural change.

Medication abortion has been used safely for years. Major medical organizations have repeatedly said it is safe and effective. But when politicians can’t defend taking away reproductive freedom, they pivot to fear.
