TALLAHASSEE, Fla. (AP) — Florida’s attorney general has filed a lawsuit against Planned Parenthood, claiming the organization is “misrepresenting the safety” of abortion pills.

It is the latest legal challenge aimed at abortion pills, which are the most common way to end a pregnancy in the U.S., and which is increasingly a target for opponents of the procedure in the wake of the U.S. Supreme Court’s 2022 decision overturning Roe v. Wade .

In a complaint filed in a state court in Santa Rosa County on Thursday, Florida Attorney General James Uthmeier claimed the network of clinics is “making false claims about the safety of abortion drugs,” highlighting Planned Parenthood’s statements the pills are “safer than Tylenol.”
