defines it as "the use or prescription of any substance, device, instrument, medicine, or drug to intentionally terminate the pregnancy of an individual known to be pregnant."
The lack of consensus over the definition for an abortion makes defining the treatment for an ectopic pregnancy confusing and it can have real-world implications. All of the 18 states expected to ban abortion following the overturning of Roe v. Wade have exceptions for the life of the patient or a medical emergency.
You flagged posts claiming that ectopic pregnancies end in abortion. And then your documentation includes the following excerpt.🤷♀️ Make me understand the difference between: 'terminating a pregnancy' and 'abortion'.
This is why any legislation involving medical procedures should be authored by certified, non partisan medical providers. The fact that treating an ectopic pregnancy triggers any, ANY ambiguity because of politics is malpractice. Women should sue doctors & the state.
