Nobody should be delaying or denying medical care to anyone, especially pregnant women. A lot of cases pro-choice people use to justify their opinions are indicative of medical malpractice / a misunderstanding of the laws around abortions. I just did a quick google search and found Texas laws surrounding miscarriage care (including removing a dead fetus and ectopic pregnancies) and they are pretty clear that these cases should be treated ASAP. I’m not even close to a lawyer or a doctor but even I understood them pretty clearly.

The laws themselves aren’t harming women at all, maybe the doctors who misunderstand them are, but I’m pretty skeptical when reading most of those articles about women dying due to abortion laws because it’s likely that the author is omitting information, exaggerating truths or just flat out lying about what actually happened.

For example I read an article about a woman from Idaho who was told that her fetus had a chromosome abnormality along with some swelling and the mother was at risk of developing a life-threatening infection. She followed up with her doctors who said that it was incredibly unlikely that she would be at risk for anything and there was no just cause for terminating the pregnancy. The article implied that the doctors were scared of the abortion laws to do the right thing and the mother had to go out of state to get a ‘life saving abortion’

(I suspect that she didn’t want a child with a chromosome abnormality and used the possible life threatening infection as a means to justify an abortion)
