It is not called an abortion after a miscarriage. It is a D & C, if not all the baby or placenta did not come out. That is a medical procedure.
“It is not called an abortion after a miscarriage. It is a D & C, if not all the baby or placenta did not come out. That is a medical procedure.”
She is right in that if a woman is denied a D&C after a miscarriage and any tissue remains then yes septic shock is virtually assured and the woman will die.
She is wrong that a D&C is an abortion given that the fetus has already ceased to be viable.
The question is does this law prevent or limit doctor’s in AZ from recommending and performing a D&C on a woman who had or is having a miscarriage.
There was a case in Texas where the law is so strict the doctors didn’t want to risk a 20 year jail sentence for doing a D&C on a unviable fetus so they made the woman wait until she would hemorrhage and then and only then go in and clean out the products. This woman said F that risk to her life and future fertility remember this woman was trying to have a child and Texas law screwed her over. She ended up going to Kansas or New Mexico I forget to have the fetus removed so she could try again. This is where poorly written laws that were passed in knee jerk style. Texas needs to set in writing parameters to have a quick effect D&C not leave it up to some judges interpretation.
