Women are going to hospitals with a life-threatening nonviable ectopic pregnancy but the doctors can't do anything about it until her vitals start crashing, which the doctors hope is enough of a "medical emergency" to satisfy Missouri's Republican AG. https://ago.mo.gov/docs/default-source/press-releases/22-2022.pdf?sfvrsn=39ffd2d_2

OBGYN Colleague in Missouri “We are now observing patients with ectopic pregnancy and hemoperitoneum until they have a documented falling hemoglobin or unstable vital signs”

1:50 pregnancies is ectopic

1. That's on the doctors being chickenshits.

An ectopic pregnancy is a life threatening emergency. Withholding care to make a political statement is malpractice.

2. Perhaps, but it is possible that some patients are denying themselves care d/t misinformation

6. How is that even possible?

You don’t know you have an ectopic pregnancy until the doctor provides a diagnosis.

7. May be diagnosed, but refuse treatment

3. Is there not one doctor in Missouri who can explain to these numbnuts

that a pregnancy outside of the uterus is never, ever, ever going to be a baby?

4. They can explain all day

but these numbnuts REFUSE TO UNDERSTAND.

5. Criminal and inhumane.

My daughter had an ectopic pregnancy a few years back. Thank God she lives in a blue state, where they respect women.

8. As someone in Missouri who has had

two ectopic pregnancies, this makes me so, so mad!

I had one in 1986 and one in 1993, and thanks to the care of the doctors, they saved my tubes and I was able to have three amazing children. I would have died if they had not had the freedom and the technology to take care of what was going on.

SO, i would have died, none of my children or my two grandsons would have ever been born.

All of the people behind these restrictions are not just stupid, they are heartless.
