Here we are again. As we’ve reported, the talking points against abortion legislation post-Roe v. Wade have been sent out; Halley Berry sent out a list of “abortions” that women will die without, such as miscarriages and ectopic pregnancies. Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez said not to tell her that doctors in the 1800s knew what ectopic pregnancies were (spoiler: they did). Rep. Ayanna Pressley asked a pro-life witness, “When an ectopic pregnancy ruptures what are the chances it can be carried safely to term?” We suppose that was supposed to be a gotcha question, but the answer is zero, and not even Planned Parenthood considers the treatment of an ectopic pregnancy an abortion. Nobody does.
CNN’s Jim Sciutto fears that doctors don’t know the law, and women are “struggling to receive treatment” for miscarriages and ectopic pregnancies for fear of being prosecuted.

He literally says women who have already miscarried aren't getting treatment. That's 100% nonsense.

Fear mongering, etopic pregnancy, an abortion isn’t necessary and if a woman has a miscarriage she’ll need to get a DNC to clean out her uterus.

A D&C … which also is not considered an abortion.
He's lying. There was 1 bill that didn't have language in it for ectopic pregnancies and it was fixed when it was brought to the attention of the state rep who wrote it.

CNN never lets facts get in the way of telling a good story.

What happened to CNN’s renewed focus on “real journalism”? We guess that hasn’t kicked in yet. But Sciutto, as a journalist, is just asking questions and then throwing them to the “experts” on the panel.
