Planned Parenthood spent years telling women the abortion pill was safer than Tylenol.
Florida Attorney General James Uthmeier sat down with Live Action's Lila Rose to explain what comes next.
And the number he dropped should terrify every abortion executive in America.
Florida's Safer Than Tylenol Lawsuit Against Planned Parenthood
In November 2025, Uthmeier sued Planned Parenthood under Florida's deceptive trade practices law.
The target was a line on Planned Parenthood's own website claiming abortion pills are "safer than many other medicines like penicillin, Tylenol, and Viagra."
Tylenol is something you keep in the kitchen cabinet next to the vitamins.
The abortion pill regimen of mifepristone and misoprostol ends a child's life.
A 2025 Ethics and Public Policy Center study of more than 865,000 mifepristone abortions found nearly 11% of women suffered sepsis, infection, hemorrhaging, or another serious adverse event.
Florida is seeking $350 million and has asked the court to consider dissolving the organization.
Planned Parenthood tried to get the case thrown out.
On May 27, 2026, Circuit Judge J. Scott Duncan refused.
He noted Planned Parenthood did not just call the drugs safe – it called them safer than other medicines.
"They could be liable for billions, which could bankrupt that company," Uthmeier told Rose.
Florida's Six Week Heartbeat Law Survived Amendment 4
Florida's heartbeat law, which took effect in 2024, protects children once a heartbeat can be detected at around six weeks.
Uthmeier estimates the law has saved somewhere between 40,000 and 50,000 babies.
That is a stadium full of children who are alive because Florida drew a line.
The abortion industry tried to erase that line in November 2024 with Amendment 4, which would have written abortion into the state constitution.
Gov. Ron DeSantis led the fight against it.
The amendment pulled about 57% of the vote but fell short of the 60% Florida requires, and the heartbeat law stood.
Florida Teen Saved From Forced Abortion Gives Birth to Baby Girl
In November 2025, a pregnant Florida teenager was about to be taken to Chicago for an abortion she did not want.
According to Liberty Counsel, a family member had arranged the trip to get around Florida's heartbeat law, while the Chicago Abortion Fund covered flights and hotels.
The teen and her boyfriend wanted their baby.
The boyfriend called Liberty Counsel, and within 24 hours the group sent a demand letter in coordination with Uthmeier's office.
The trip was cancelled.
Shortly before the July 4 weekend in 2026, that young mother gave birth to a healthy baby girl weighing nearly eight pounds.
"Coercing minor girls across state lines against their wishes into forced abortions is illegal and reprehensible," said Liberty Counsel founder Mat Staver.
Florida Sues FDA Over Mifepristone Abortion Pill Approval
Florida is also attacking the pill at its source.
In December 2025, Florida and Texas sued the FDA in federal court in Wichita Falls, Texas, asking a judge to undo the agency's approvals of mifepristone going back to 2000.
Florida has also gone after abortion pill manufacturers, calling the original approval inaccurate and deceptive.
Uthmeier described shutting down a Florida Panhandle abortion facility that drew women from out of state, after the state found numerous violations of basic hospital sanitation laws.
His message was simple – get creative and enforce the laws already on the books.
Florida has done this before.
In May 2022, state regulators shut down American Family Planning in Pensacola after three women were badly injured.
One woman lost part of her colon, and another needed a complete hysterectomy after her uterus was perforated.
According to Operation Rescue, Florida's abortion facility count has fallen from 57 in 2021 to 47.
James Uthmeier Built a Playbook Every Red State Attorney General Can Copy
Uthmeier is treating Planned Parenthood like what it is – a business that sold women a dangerous product with a lie on the label.
Florida would go after a supplement company that claimed its pills were safer than Tylenol.
Planned Parenthood does not get a pass because it wraps the lie in a pink banner.
Uthmeier does not need a new law or a friendly Supreme Court ruling to win.
He needs a consumer-protection statute, a sanitation inspector, and the nerve to use both.
And Florida backs that fight with real help for mothers, funding a statewide network of pregnancy centers through the Florida Pregnancy Care Network.
Uthmeier told Rose he hopes to see the end of abortion in his lifetime.
Now Uthmeier needs to take the Tylenol case all the way to trial and make Planned Parenthood defend that claim under oath in front of a Florida jury.
