> because this doctor is not practicing in Texas where such a procedure might get you arrested

Please don't spread misinformation, there is enough confusion out there already. Texas law specifically allows for the removal of ectopic pregnancies.

these specific provisions are insufficient and women are having harrowing health care experiences in Texas nonetheless due to doctors delaying or denying care out of fear of prosecution:

Exactly, due to tons of misinformation about the law like the above - it is causing tons of problems - we don't need to further spread it.

you are making excuses for fascists who are intentionally terrorizing women and I find it offensive. Denying care is not the kind of thing you do because you saw a rumor. these laws are designed to be vague and terrorizing and they are having the intended effect of punishing women for having sex. you are spreading disinformation that this is not the purpose of these laws.

headlines about care being denied in Texas due to these laws are myriad. My Hacker News comment is not the cause of this.

there are so many headlines. But no, it's my fault, not the fault of these fascist lawmakers who wrote these laws and know very well what they are doing. excuses.

Continue to spew misinformation and those are exactly the headlines we'll see more of. You are the one speaking in falsehoods and having your comments flagged and removed by moderators not me. No amount of hand wringing, inflammatory language and Hacker News rule breaking on your part changes the facts here.

There are no falsehoods in my statements and I provided backing sources. You're a an apologist for fascists and no amount of hand wringing will change that.
