[00:00:00]That is a really great question. So, within every aspect within healthcare, there are complications.

[00:00:08]I can spit numbers at you, but I think it's really easier to just compare to other things that we do in healthcare.

[00:00:15]So, when you're talking about medication abortion pills, mifepristone has a safer profile compared to Tylenol, penicillin, and also Viagra.

[00:00:26]When you're looking about the abortion procedure, it has a safer profile compared to both a colonoscopy and having your wisdom tooth removed. And when you're comparing it to the actual outcome of continuing to have a pregnancy, it is 14 times safer than having complications from childbirth.

[00:00:49]So, abortion care in relative to a lot of other medications or healthcare procedures is actually extremely safe.

[00:00:58]And if you are seeking those specific numbers, I'll place them down below as well.
