America faces an autism epidemic that has surged over 400% since 2000, with one in 31 children now diagnosed with the disorder. Let that sink in—one in 31. The Trump administration’s recent health announcement promised hope for millions of families seeking answers. But what happened next reveals something deeply troubling about how partisan hatred can override even the most basic human instincts.
President Trump, alongside Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. and FDA Commissioner Dr. Marty Makary, announced Monday that acetaminophen use during pregnancy may significantly increase autism risk in children. This groundbreaking revelation, backed by emerging research including a recent Mount Sinai study, represents the first time the U.S. government has officially linked the common pain reliever to neurological disorders.
From ‘Breitbart’:
“I think I can say that there are certain groups of people that don’t take vaccines and don’t take any pills that have no autism. That have no autism. Does that tell you something? That’s currently, is that a correct statement by the way?” Trump said, as Kennedy said “there are some studies that suggest that.” “Yeah, with the Amish for example,” Kennedy said. Trump then announced that the FDA will be “notifying physicians that the use of acetaminophen — which is basically commonly known as Tylenol, during pregnancy can be associated with a very increased risk of autism.”
The FDA will now notify physicians about these risks, recommending pregnant women limit Tylenol use unless medically necessary. Trump emphasized that while extreme situations like dangerous fevers might require the medication, women should “tough it out” when possible to protect their unborn children. (Remember when that was just… common sense?)
A Disturbing Response
But here’s where it gets insane—instead of welcoming potentially life-saving information, some pregnant liberal women have posted videos of themselves deliberately downing Tylenol pills. One woman captioned her video: “here’s me, a PREGNANT woman, taking TYLENOL because I believe in science and not someone who has no medical background.” Right, because taking medical advice from TikTok instead of the FDA is definitely “believing in science.”
These women aren’t just dismissing the warning—they’re actively ingesting a substance newly linked to autism risk while carrying vulnerable babies. (Yes, you read that correctly.) The videos spread across social media as a form of ideological protest, with participants proudly declaring their defiance of the Trump administration’s health guidance. This is peak 2025 liberalism—endangering your own child to own the conservatives.
When Politics Trumps Parenting
Some activists have gone further, labeling the health warning an “attack on women.” (Yes, really—they’re calling a health warning about protecting babies an ‘attack.’ You can’t make this stuff up.) This mirrors past instances where beneficial policies were rejected simply because of their source. Remember when some opposed Trump’s criminal justice reform despite it helping communities they claimed to support? Now, that same reflexive opposition extends to endangering unborn children.
The contrast with communities like the Amish, who avoid such medications and show virtually no autism cases, validates traditional caution about pharmaceutical overuse. Yet these expectant mothers choose tribal messaging over precautionary principles that any rational parent would embrace. Whatever happened to “trust the science”? Apparently that only applies when the science comes from their approved sources.
What makes this particularly tragic is that these children have no choice in their mothers’ partisan statements. They’ll bear any consequences of increased autism risk. Not for medical necessity, but because their mothers prioritized ideological spite over parental responsibility. Imagine if conservative women had done this during the Obama years—the media would’ve had a field day.
This jaw-dropping reaction reveals how deeply tribal hatred has poisoned basic human judgment. When expectant mothers deliberately risk their babies’ neurological development to score partisan points, we’re witnessing the breakdown of society’s most fundamental protective instincts. Americans must ask themselves: what kind of future awaits a nation where ideological extremism overrides even a mother’s drive to protect her unborn child? Because apparently that’s where we are now.
Key Takeaways
- Trump’s FDA warns acetaminophen during pregnancy may increase autism risk significantly
- Liberal women post videos taking Tylenol while pregnant to “own Trump”
- Amish communities without these medications show virtually zero autism cases
- Political extremism now overrides basic maternal protective instincts
