But let's just be clear what we're talking about when we discuss the safety of mifepristone. More than 600,000 women in Europe have had entirely safe medical abortions with mifepristone. More than 2,000 women in the U.S. had similar experiences during clinical trials. Not one death has been attributed to the use of mifepristone. This cannot be said of childbirth in America.
Safety is a relative term.
