In the wake of Louisiana’s abortion ban, pregnant women have been given risky, unnecessary surgeries, denied swift treatment for miscarriages and ectopic pregnancies, and forced to wait until their life is at risk before getting an abortion, according to a new report first made available to NPR.
It found doctors are using extreme caution to avoid even the appearance of providing an abortion procedure.
I don’t think cruelty is the point of everyone. Sometimes the point is willful ignorance. “Well that’s not what I think an abortion is” or “it’s not about that stuff, it’s about using it as contraceptive” talking about life saving medical intervention.
