Doctors aren't going to risk doing a damn thing and women will suffer[/quote]

Just stop. 
The draft opinion stated 
“To ensure that our decision is not misunderstood or mischaracterized, we emphasize that our decision concerns the constitutional right to abortion and no other right,” he wrote. “Nothing in this opinion should be understood to cast doubt on precedents that do not concern abortion.”

Miscarriage is an act of nature.  It is not an abortion.  [/quote]

In medical terms it is an abortion. Are you unfamiliar with the technical definition of abortion?

At any rate, prove that a miscarriage wasn’t self-induced. That is what Republicans will start asking. Just as conservatives in countries that ban abortion have done. And if a pregnancy is failing but the heart activity is still detected, doctors will risk sepsis instead of terminating. As has already happened. [/quote]

This. Any medical intervention during a miscarriage is labeled as an assisted abortion. You can tell that many people who have an opinion about this actually don't have the facts[/quote]

They write like 20 year old boys. They probably are. [/quote]

Nope.  Older woman here who has actually had a miscarriage.

When speaking of "abortion rights," a miscarriage and abortion are very different things.  While a miscarriage is medically referred to as a "spontaneous abortion," there is no "choice" in a miscarriage.  It is an act of nature.  
Abortion, on the other hand, is very much about choice.

Did you require medical assistance to complete your miscarriage?  Because that assistance is what some of us are saying could be put in jeopardy here.[/quote]

Did the PP actually have a D&C for her miscarriage? I’m guessing not since she’s not familiar with the terminology.

It is considered an abortion. That’s how it is referenced for scheduling and insurance.

Mechanically, they may be the same procedure but they are being done for different reasons.

In one, the child is already dead (or not viable, say partially formed). In the other, the pregnancy would continue if the procedure was not initiated. Having necrotic tissue sitting there is not safe at all. [/quote]

Do you know much about late term abortions and why they happen?  Because “partially formed” is usually part of the analysis. And its clearly ok to criminalize it under this opinion.[/quote]
