Our pro-abortion opposition cannot accept the fact that they are asking for the right to kill their own unborn children. To hide this fact from themselves and others, they misrepresent abortion by calling it "reproductive healthcare."

Recently, they have increased these lies by saying that ending abortion will mean women can't have access to treatment for premature delivery and ectopic pregnancies. Nothing could be further from the truth.

The American Association of Pro-Life Obstetricians and Gynecologists states: "As experienced practitioners and researchers in Obstetrics and Gynecology, we affirm that direct abortion is not medically necessary to save the life of a woman. We uphold that there is a fundamental difference between abortion and necessary medical treatments that are carried out to save the life of the mother, even if such treatments result in the loss of life of her unborn child. We confirm that the prohibition of abortion does not affect, in any way, the availability of optimal care to pregnant women."
In addition, the same organization explains that ectopic pregnancies are any pregnancy that occurs outside of the mother's womb, usually in the fallopian tube. In most cases, the embryo has died by the time it is discovered around 7 to 8 weeks gestation.

However, the death of the embryo is certain, and the mother's life is always at risk. Consequently, medical treatment is undertaken to save the life and future fertility of the mother. These are not abortions. They are true "reproductive healthcare." West Virginia abortion law specifically states that treatments for ectopic pregnancy, stillbirth and miscarriage are not considered to be abortions.
We have created a website to provide education on "Abortion Is Not Healthcare." Please go to our website AbortionIsNot.com to read more about the truth of medical care for pregnant women.
