There's just so much wrong with this letter, too much for one tweet, in fact.

So here's a thread.

1/4 https://www.newsweek.com/ted-cruz-faces-backlash-fda-abortion-letter-stating-pregnancy-not-life-threatening-1529404

Let me start with this: #Abortion is #HealthCare. Plain and simple.

And like other aspects of health care, how & when to get an abortion is a personal decision that should be made between a woman & her doctor, not by politicians. 2/4

Second, women need #abortions for many reasons, including pregnancy-related problems.

Approximately 700 women in America die PER YEAR due to pregnancy-related complications, according to @CDCgov.

We shouldn’t be limiting access to life-saving care. 3/4

Here's the thing, women need full control over their reproductive destinies in order to live their lives on their own terms.

I sincerely hope the @US_FDA ignores this letter, and continues to give women access to this important medication. 4/4
