I believe it’s technically a “Dilation and curettage (D&C)” which is literally the same procedure they use to treat a woman after a miscarriage so it basically can’t be illegal. And they can’t make abortions illegal because the human body does spontaneous abortions called miscarriages.
All to say, the language in these laws are all overly broad with non-scientific clarifications because they want to get rid of all “on purpose” abortions without banning medically necessary abortions but also without leaving workarounds.

“You think not?!” - The GOP probably.
If they have their way, any time a woman in Texas has a miscarriage, the woman will be obligated to afirmatively prove that they didn’t do anything that could in any possible way have caused them to miscarry. If they can’t, they’ll charge then with murder.
Doctors should call it something else. It isn’t an abortion. It’s a kenpaxtonisanassholectomy.
Now it’s just healthcare.

Breaking: Paxton declares miscarriages illegal
But they have. The Abortion rights activists were telling us that an abortion ban was a ban on women’s healthcare from the get go and nobody listened.
Yup, that’s technically what it’s called.
Minor note, they (the extremists) want to ban and control everything. Because they’re … like that.
Are they still called “extremist” when it’s all of them that are horrific pieces of shit? At some point, they are just “regular conservatives”.
yup. Sure, there’s more of them. but they’re still extremists.
Honestly, Biden is a “regular conservative”. most republicans are, on the ‘progressive-conservative’ spectrum, regressives
Good points.

Edit: Make that anywhere in the country.
If there is a sliver of opportunity to punish a woman for something, the GOP will try it.
