Quote of the Day
“Trump’s claims seem to blame women, but that cycle of blame and stigma must end. I didn’t take Tylenol during any of my three pregnancies. Other than nausea, I was healthy throughout those pregnancies.”
Maura Sullivan, CEO of the Arc of Mass. argues Trump linking Tylenol to autism puts a stigma on mothers who took it during pregnancy and now have a child with autism.
