A lawsuit brought by abortion patients in Texas is focusing attention on how some strict state abortion bans could imperil lives by leaving it to providers to prove if a person qualifies for an emergency exception.
before Roe was struck down predicted that health providers would struggle to interpret what constitutes a necessary abortion under some state bans, since there's no often no clear explanation as to what "the risk of death [has] to be, and how imminent must it be.
"The fact is that providers face such extreme penalties and punishment if they aren't able to make a sufficient case that it creates a devastating chilling effect," Miller added.
"Yet no matter how many times we correct the record, ... misinformation" spread by abortion rights activists confuse physicians and the general public and put "women's lives at risk," Skop added.
