Congresswoman Lucy McBath shared her struggles with miscarriages on Wednesday to advocate for women's reproductive rights in the United States in the wake of a leaked draft opinion from the conservative-majority Supreme Court to overturn the Roe v Wade decision.
Speaking at a US House judiciary committee hearing on the "ongoing crisis in abortion care access", the Georgia Democrat argued that the legislation introduced in right-wing states could impact the treatment of women who had undergone miscarriages and stillbirths.
"One day I woke up covered in blood. It is hard to describe the agony of a miscarriage. It is heartbreak, it's helplessness, it is pain, it is profound sadness.

"What abortion ban? This McBath is spreading misinformation, she should be silenced!"
This is all over the Internet, but perhaps he will believe Fox:

13 states have trigger laws automatically banning most or all abortions if Supreme Court...
Thirteen states in the country are poised to enact immediate abortion bans if the Supreme Court overturns Roe v. Wade.

I have no clue where she was treated, but I have anesthetized many women that have had miscarriages, even at 4 months. I do know that there are times that Ob/Gyn's use medication to abort late term fetal deaths, but I have never been involved in those, except to place an epidural for pain control.

PO1 William "Chip" Nagel with several states already having "trigger laws" awaiting the reversal of R v W, I can understand her concerns. Several states have all but made abortion illegal such as Texas with other states modeling their legislation after them.
