Pro-life laws are clear

 Ectopic pregnancies and miscarriages ("spontaneous abortions") are not criminalized.

 

I had looked at a couple states' laws personally.  These personal investigations were sparked by stories of women allegedly being denied care for ectopic pregnancies or miscarriages by their doctors out of the doctors' "fear" of the law or the law's "ambiguity."  For each law I looked at, it took me maybe 5 minutes to comprehend its clear definition of abortion, that did not include or criminalize in any possible manner, care for ectopic pregnancies or miscarriages.

I considered compiling something like the below linked article, but figured someone had already done so.  Lo and behold, a week or so later, it falls into my lap:

My conclusion, either the doctors are stupid, liars, lazy, or didn't do what the women said they did.  In the first three cases, they shouldn't be doctors.  They either can't understand plain english, are lying to their patients, or can't be bothered to care for their patients (as I said, it took maybe 5 minutes to verify the definition of abortion in the various laws I looked up).

The people pushing these stories are also either illiterate, alliterate, or liars.  Either they can't read the laws, they choose not to read the laws and verify the facts of the stories, or they know what the laws say and lie about them anyway.  The only fear or hesitance created in healthcare concerning these laws would come from these people pushing false narratives about the laws, because it certainly has nothing to do with what is actually in the laws.
