Could abortion limits also threaten other reproductive health care? Experts and advocates fear that restrictions may cause a domino effect and threaten treatment for miscarriages, emergency contraception and other reproductive care.

Although that bill has some exceptions, it signals a direction that is deeply worrisome for many doctors.

Reliable birth control is now a feature of life for millions of Americans, but in March U.S. Sen. Marsha Blackburn of Tennessee recorded a video message naming the Griswold decision as “constitutionally unsound.” She’s not proposing restrictions on birth control but hasn’t commented further to clarify what she meant.

Emergency contraceptive pills like Plan B and IUDs may also prevent a fertilized egg from implanting in the womb, but experts say the science on that isn’t clear. It is believed they mostly work by blocking fertilization. But doctors also worry other forms of reproductive care, like treating ectopic pregnancies, could be targeted. These occur when a fertilized egg implants outside the uterus, often in a fallopian tube. They are often life-threatening medical emergencies because the fragile tube can rupture, causing massive internal bleeding.

Plus, Brandi added, it can take eight weeks for someone “once they’ve diagnosed with a miscarriage to actually pass the pregnancy” without intervention. That can be traumatic, particularly for women who wanted to be pregnant.

Governor says Arkansas's near-total abortion ban should be revisited if Supreme Court overturns RoeGov. Asa Hutchinson says the state should provide exceptions for instances of rape or incest. Ya think?!? 🤨 The state should mind it's own f**king business. so you consider murder okay if you are raped? (abortion is not murder a fetus is not a person) but this shows how little their position makes sense.
