Abortion perspective
I talked to a woman the other day who said she had very bad abdominal pains for a while and couldn’t understand why. ER tests ended with congratulations on her pregnancy. However, it was quickly discovered the pregnancy was abnormal. The embryos were outside of the uterus with no detectable heartbeat. There was no chance of a live birth.

She said the first doctor that she saw afterwards told her there was nothing he could do and that she would have to just wait for natural expulsion to end the pregnancy. A second medical professional who prescribed a pill to terminate the pregnancy was angered hearing the first doctor’s advice.

I told her that she should be glad she lives in Illinois, because if she lived in a red state, it is very likely that she would not have gotten a pill. I told her that she might face arrest or imprisonment if she tried to leave a red state for an abortion. And I told her the doctors in red states could also be criminally charged if they gave her the pill or performed an abortion and that the pill is against the law there.

Her mouth dropped open. She exclaimed she didn’t know that. I told her that’s why the abortion issue is so important — that it affects women in many different situations. I said now that you know educate someone else this is why it’s so important to vote. She thanked me.

This NEVER happened....

Would that even work?  If the embryo is outside the uterus, I don't know how a pill would work.

It’s like a dear penthouse story only by a dummy on their sacrament of abortion

A pregnancy outside the uterus is an ectopic pregnancy, and taking an abortion pill for one will not abort the fetus (which usually is not viable anyway) and tends to cause medical problems for the mother.

Most succinct links.  The same information is found scattered in numerous other sources.

So, if this bouncy happened, and the second doctor did prescribe an abortion pill, that doctor should be in deep doo-doo.  The first doctor is also incorrect, there are different shots that stop the fetus from growing that have to be done to expel it (as I said, ectopic pregnancies are usually not viable, but it's hard to not use the term fetus), or surgery may be required depending on how long it took to get check out. 

About 90 seconds of searching shoots down all of the babykiller's bouncy.  Y'all need to put some more work in.

This type of problem with pregnancy usually is rectified by a still birth. Part of how the mammalian body copes with problems during pregnancy.

Not only is this a LIE but it is a stupid lie.
