7 reactions to the death of 'father of the abortion pill': 'Legacy of death and deception'

Emily Davis, the vice president of communications at the nonprofit Susan B. Anthony Pro-Life America, commented on Étienne-Émile Baulieu's passing, saying that the French scientist “leaves behind a legacy of death and deception.”

“His creation of the abortion drug opened the floodgates to today’s abortion industry, where groups like Planned Parenthood now push dangerous abortion drugs through apps and the mail,” Davis told The Christian Post.

“Women and girls are misled into thinking these drugs are as ‘safe as Tylenol,’ despite a growing body of research exposing this lie,” she added. “His passing is a reminder of the urgent need to defund these abortion machines and stand for truth, life and real care for women and children."

The Charlotte Lozier Institute, SBA Pro-Life America’s research arm, published a report in May in the journal BioTech that challenged the claim that abortion drugs are safer than Tylenol. 

"It is essential to state unequivocally that there has never been a single study appropriately comparing the safety of mifepristone and [Tylenol] or any of the common drugs presented in these claims, let alone a 20-year history of 'clear and conclusive scientific evidence' to this end," CLI Director of Life Sciences Carmen Louti stated in the report. 

Loutit argues that "using death counts or death rates from different studies, at different times, and in vastly different populations, they asserted a reductionist definition of safety and compared numbers that are entirely incomparable."
