<p>Since the first state abortion bans kicked in, the legacy media has relentlessly pushed the narrative that women are showing up at emergency rooms needing abortions and are being refused, putting their lives at risk.</p>
<p>&#8220;Abortion bans complicate risky pregnancy care,&#8221; an Associated Press article published Monday <a href="https://apnews.com/article/pregnant-women-emergency-room-ectopic-er-edd66276d2f6c412c988051b618fb8f9" target="_blank" rel="noopener">asserts</a>.</p>
<p>The article cites several examples of women with ectopic pregnancies and other conditions who were sent home and later suffered complications. In one example from Texas, a bleeding woman with an ectopic pregnancy was misdiagnosed by emergency room doctors as having a miscarriage and sent home, only to return three days later and suffer a ruptured fallopian tube.</p>
<p>In an ectopic pregnancy, the baby implants in the fallopian tube or another unviable place, putting the mother&#8217;s life at risk. Treatment involves either surgery to remove the baby (often the whole fallopian tube) or a medication called methotrexate, which stops the baby from growing.</p>
<p>It&#8217;s unclear why the article is talking about ectopic pregnancies at all since the treatment for that condition is not abortion.</p>
<p>Even abortion mill Planned Parenthood has explicitly acknowledged this, although it has since updated its website to be more vague.</p>
<p>“Treating an ectopic pregnancy isn’t the same thing as getting an abortion,” Planned Parenthood <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/dont-believe-pro-abortion-misinformation-what-to-know-about-ectopic-pregnancy-miscarriage-and-more">said</a> on its website. “The medical procedures for abortions are not the same as the medical procedures for an ectopic pregnancy.”</p>
<p>Even if a woman with an ectopic pregnancy did need an abortion though, it would be legal — since <a href="https://www.kff.org/womens-health-policy/issue-brief/a-review-of-exceptions-in-state-abortions-bans-implications-for-the-provision-of-abortion-services/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">every single</a> state abortion ban allows abortions when the life of the mother is at risk.</p>
<p>The AP article does cite several other cases of pregnant women who were in distress.</p>
<p>One Florida woman leaked amniotic fluid for an hour in a hospital&#8217;s emergency waiting room. The emergency room doctor then listed her condition as &#8220;improved&#8221; and discharged her without consulting the hospitals OB-GYN. This happened despite the obstetrics medical director later saying that inducing labor was the &#8220;standard of care&#8221; for any woman with premature rupture of membranes, regardless of the baby&#8217;s heartbeat. The woman miscarried in a public bathroom later that day and was rushed to a different hospital and placed on a ventilator. She was discharged after nearly a week.</p>
<p>The article does not explain what this case has to do with Florida&#8217;s abortion ban although it makes sure readers know the ban was in effect at the time.</p>
<p><b><a href="http://www.amiracist.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener" data-saferedirecturl="https://www.google.com/url?q=http://www.amiracist.com/&amp;source=gmail&amp;ust=1723144663330000&amp;usg=AOvVaw3L4Kg7EReWfh8js6jDCHgS">WATCH THE TRAILER FOR &#8216;AM I RACIST?&#8217; — A MATT WALSH COMEDY ON DEI</a></b></p>
<p>In another similar Florida case, a doctor claimed the abortion ban prohibited staff from offering an abortion to a pregnant woman whose water broke at 15 weeks. The article does not explain why doctors could not simply deliver the baby, the typical treatment for premature rupture of membranes, <a href="https://www.mayoclinic.org/healthy-lifestyle/labor-and-delivery/in-depth/water-breaking/art-20044142#:~:text=If%20your%20water%20breaks%20before%20the%2037th%20week%20of%20pregnancy,membranes%20(intra%2Damniotic%20infection)" target="_blank" rel="noopener">according</a> to Mayo Clinic.</p>
<p>Removing an unborn child from the mother&#8217;s womb, either through early labor induction or surgery, can result in the baby&#8217;s death but is not an abortion. Abortion refers to specific medications and surgical procedures that have the primary intention of ending the unborn baby&#8217;s life.</p>
<p>Buried in the AP article is an admission that &#8220;serious violations that jeopardized a mother or her fetus’ health occurred in states with and without abortion bans.&#8221;</p>
<p>Nevertheless, abortion advocates — with the media at their back — push the nebulous claim that doctors are &#8220;fearful&#8221; to save women&#8217;s lives, even when the treatment has nothing to do with abortion, and even when abortion to save the mother&#8217;s life is legal.</p>
