An internet search indicates that a fever of 103 is where the government believes it may become medically necessary. One would hope a pregnant woman with a 103 fever would be seeking medical assistance and taking the doctor's advice...not turning on the TV to see what their party leadership says.

This issue is already getting politicized, and medical opinions are already being drowned out by political takes. Even doing a quick search on this very topic, a lot of the websites were not medical sites I trust. No Mayo Clinic or Cleveland Clinic or WebMD, just for example, were on the first page of search hits. That should tell you that politics is taking over and drowning out actual medical advice, which is a shame.

Aside: We take way to many painkillers in this country. Even in my family, everyone pops a couple advil with the slightest headache. I take a couple advil every few years. A headache is not the end of the world; I only take these medicines when something more serious is going on. We should probably all refrain from taking tylenol as much as we can reasonably do so. Just my personal opinion, of course.
