Pregnant woman who suffered an incomplete miscarriage was left to bleed for TEN DAYS but emergency room staff turned her away because of Wisconsin's outright ban on abortion

A woman having an incomplete miscarriage was refused help by doctors at her local emergency room as they felt they had to enforce Wisconsin's 1849 ban on abortions.

The unidentified woman bled for ten days after staff refused to remove the fetal tissue from her uterus.

They reportedly feared they would be in violation of the 170-year-old law, which came back into effect after the Supreme Court overturned Roe v Wade.

Carley Zeal, a gynecologist at Mercyhealth Cancer Center in southern Wisconsin, gave her medication to expel the fetal tissue.

Because the medicine needed to end a miscarriage is similar to that used to end a pregnancy, doctors have said they are unsure whether to hand it out post-Roe.

Zeal told the Washington Post: 'It really delayed her care.

This is Daily Garbage UK.

Let’s see this pop up in Wisconsin’s local print & wires ... Nope.

Dr Zeal told The Washington Post ... Yep.

WAPO, of course.

Dr Carley Zeal is the OB/Gyn on the case who with other MDs were confused as to how to document patient charts to avoid BEING CHARGED WITH A FELONY ... Uh-Huh.

So let’s peek at how a miscarriage is diagnosed:

https://www.mayoclinic.org/diseases-conditions/pregnancy-loss-miscarriage/diagnosis-treatment/drc-20354304

Diagnosis
Your health care provider might do a variety of tests:

Pelvic exam.
Your health care provider might check to see if your cervix has begun to dilate.

Ultrasound.
During an ultrasound, your health care provider will check for a fetal heartbeat and determine if the embryo is developing as it should be. If a diagnosis can’t be made, you might need to have another ultrasound in about a week.

Blood tests.
Your health care provider might check the level of the pregnancy hormone, human chorionic gonadotropin (HCG), in your blood and compare it to previous measurements. If the pattern of changes in your HCG level is abnormal, it could indicate a problem. Your health care provider might check to see if you’re anemic — which could happen if you’ve experienced significant bleeding — and may also check your blood type.

Tissue tests.
If you have passed tissue, it can be sent to a lab to confirm that a miscarriage has occurred — and that your symptoms aren’t related to another cause.

Chromosomal tests.
If you’ve had two or more previous miscarriages, your health care provider may order blood tests for both you and your partner to determine if your chromosomes are a factor.

The year is 2022. Ultrasound technology is very, very advanced.

Daily BS UK is a pet to WAPO and WAPO competes with CNN on how bad they can make things smell.

We really need to hammer home the fact that these are cases of medical malpractice by pro-abortion zealots trying to stage fake news events, harming women in the process.

Which really does underscore the insanity of trusting anyone who is pro-abortion with your medical care. If they will kill innocent babes what won’t they do in service to Molech?

Could it be just possible they are lying? Either that, or if true, the doctor who treated her, purposely did what she did to make a political statement.

Our medical community has gone insane. First supporting the covid nonsense & now not reacting appropriately after the Roe decision. I have a doc appointment tomorrow. I wonder if I should go.

And it was treated that way BEFORE Roe vs Wade.

As with ectopic pregnancies, the purpose of the procedure is to save the mother’s life. The loss of blood can be substantial in both cases.

There’s also a condition known as pre-eclampsia which can be life threatening. The only cure is to end the pregnancy. Most doctors will try to treat the mother so that she can carry the baby to viability if not to term. Occasionally that isn’t possible and the baby has to be delivered early. The baby doesn’t always survive but the purpose of the early delivery isn’t to kill the baby, it’s to save the mother.

Anyone who has gone through medical school should understand these concepts.

Happened to me.


They should have performed a d&c right away, for crying out loud. Who’s your doctor, Josef Mengele?

Unfortunately I have a trigger finger that will require surgery. Otherwise, it’s going to curl into my palm & make use of that hand impossible. My typing will really go to h*ll. ;-)

I’ve already been told I’ll have to wear a mask & to bring one. No, YOU provide it. I’m not buying any such thing.

Lies, lies, and more lies. I practiced medicine (briefly) before Roe, even after (because ghetto people don’t always get the news) I saw, twice, gangrene of the uterus with a literal coat hanger.

Nevertheless, D&C after incomplete abortion has NEVER been illegal, anywhere, and claiming that nurses and doctors in Wisconsin are so stupid as to not know that is ridiculous.

If it is true what the hospital staff is alleged to have done, then those at the hospital that were involved in the decision need to be fired, or else the senior staff above them who directed those decisions need to be fired.

Any medical procedure the attending physician determines is needed to save (or just not risk) the life of the mother is covered by the Wisconsin old law that went into affect when Roe was overturned.

Yes, the exception in the law has some abiguity - not detailed in what is meant by saving the life of the mother. Any good lawyer can easily argue that that ambiguity lands in favor of physicians needing to make a decision that cannot wait for the state legislators to make the law more specific. A more detailed definition merely imagined my jurists cannot write the law from the bench. When laws are ambiguous in some area, the courts need to tell legislators if they want more vigorous defense of the law they need to make the law less ambiguous.

It’s really hard to tell at this point if this is real just something the left is doing to mess with this. Yes I do agree with you. It will be investigated now that both stories have come out. I just can’t believe medical staff are this lame.

I believe everything you say.

I know this is something the left is up to just like that 10 year old rape victim. If this is true and they did this to both the Wisconsin and Texas woman then they need fired and lose their medical license. We both know they knew better, unless they took the short bus to medical school.

Never happened. I asked a nurse friend who used to work in maternity ward and she said there is no way that would happen unless the hospital staff were completely incompetent. Although I suppose that part could happen...🤔

“New Texas anti-abortion laws have doctors nervous to perform procedures for miscarriages, forcing this woman to carry her dead fetus in her womb for two weeks”

I think the Texas case is on another thread, but of course the above statement is a bald faced lie.

D&C is the treatment for fetal demise in early pregnancy, spontaneous delivery is safer than surgical removal late in pregnancy, no laws about abortion have any relevance to fetal demise, and any doctor who is “nervous” about the distinction is too stupid to be a doctor.

I was taken to the ER both times; when the miscarriage started and again when it finally ended. They didn’t do the procedure either time.
