When I wrote two weeks ago that medical care after miscarriage or ectopic pregnancy is not abortion, I received a lot of emails from people who remain confused about how the reversal of Roe v. Wade will affect health care provided to women in those difficult and tragic circumstances.
The upshot is that it shouldn’t. But there are reasons for the confusion — some understandable and others dubious.
Some of the drugs used to induce abortions are the same or similar to those given to women who have or will imminently experience pregnancy loss.
