It figures the Associated Press would pick up on this. Back when the Dobbs decision came down, there was a lot of wailing about how women were going to die; "It has already started," they claimed. Actress Halle Berry was passing abound this list of "abortions" that women would die if they didn't have.

Yeah, the thing about that is, none of those procedures is an abortion.
Arizona State Senator Eva Burch said during a floor speech that she was planning to get an abortion after learning her pregnancy was no longer viable.

Again, funny how the AP took a sudden interest in Arizona floor speeches.
This is personal for me because my wife suffered a miscarriage with her second pregnancy. It was a blighted ovum — which was never going to develop. So she had a D&C, which sounds like what Burch is going to have. Her pregnancy is no longer viable, so she's getting an "abortion."
I certainly didn't think that my wife had had an abortion. But the shrieking harpies on the Left insisted that a D&C was an abortion. Treatment for an ectopic pregnancy was an abortion, even though there was no chance of a baby being born.
I experienced a miscarriage in 2019. If my body had not naturally expelled I would have had to get a D&C. That is standard care for a miscarriage. It is not an abortion. And abortion is the targeted killing of an unborn life. Let’s be clear about that. https://t.co/4GoZS0sXrS

Exactly.
Conflating miscarriage and abortion is so sick. Horrible for all the usual reasons, but also a perverse insult to any woman that has lost a wanted pregnancy.

It's like saying cancer kills people, so polonium poisoning should be fair game. Just evil.
They are so disingenuous. This is a disturbing thing to do.

It's so weird. It's like they are proud.

There’s a medical text somewhere that called a D&C an abortion, and since someone found that, these imbeciles who haven’t read anything other than Harry Potter and the book jacket of Handmaid’s Tale consider that an original source.

Very sorry for your loss. Also, the Catechism of the Catholic Church uses the term “direct abortion” for this reason.

I don't understand how Burch having a miscarriage requires an abortion. I understand why the AP picked it up, and I understand that the pro-aborts will lie and tell horror stories of women dying because they can't get "reproductive care."
We mourned our loss, but the pregnancy wasn't viable. There wasn't going to be a baby to abort.
This is just gross.
