"This is what happens when you let the opinions of anti-abortion extremists into the doctor's office."

Senator Patty Murray on Bluesky

This is what happens when you let the opinions of anti-abortion extremists into the doctor's office.

They don't care that medication abortion is THE BEST standard of care for miscarriages.

All they care about is controlling women's bodies, no matter the outcome.

They only care about being "in charge" - even though most of them have zero medical knowledge or compassion.

Obviously the potential mother did or took something that caused her to lose the baby.
