OB-GYNs decry the ‘fearmongering’ about Georgia’s abortion laws: ‘The lies are hurting women’

Charlotte Lozier Institute Vice President and Director of Medical Affairs Dr. Ingrid Skop is calling out the "fearmongering" and "lies" of the media that are hurting women who don’t understand new abortion laws. A recent piece from ProPublica blamed the deaths of two Georgia women, Amber Nicole Thurman and Candi Miller, following chemically induced abortions in 2022, on the overturning of Roe v. Wade and the state’s new abortion limits.

What Caused the Tragic Deaths of Two Georgia Women?

A left-leaning media outlet recently publicized the heartbreaking stories of two Georgia women who died following failed abortions. Amber Thurman, 28 years old and nine weeks pregnant with twins, was given abortion drugs at a facility in North Carolina after she ran late for a surgical abortion appointment. Similarly, 41-year-old Candi Miller had multiple medical conditions including lupus that can make pregnancy risky; instead of going to a doctor, she ordered abortion drugs online. In both cases, the drugs failed to clear the uterus of tissue, which can lead to severe infection.

Data shows Texas doctors perform abortions to save life of the mother, despite claims from politicians, media

Dr. Ingrid Skop, vice president and director of medical affairs at Charlotte Lozier Institute, told Fox News Digital that "intentional media misinformation" about Texas pro-life laws initially left many physicians confused and fearful, but that the situation has improved after the Texas Medical Board and the Texas Supreme Court issued guidance to physicians, reassuring them that they may use their "reasonable medical judgment" to determine when to intervene, and the risk of maternal death does not need to be "imminent."

New Study Reveals Increasing Severity and Frequency of Emergency Department Visits Following Use of Abortion Drugs

A new study published in the International Journal of Epidemiology and Public Health Research by Dr. James Studnicki, Dr. Ingrid Skop, Tessa Cox, and other CLI scholars, reveals the increasing severity and frequency of emergency department visits among Medicaid-eligible women from 17 states where Medicaid pays for abortion following different pregnancy outcomes.

Study finds 75% of women treated at ERs after taking abortion pills rated ‘severe or critical’

Anti-abortion laws not to blame for OB-GYN shortages: Study

Anti-abortion laws are likely not the cause of a decline in the number of obstetricians and gynecologists or the number of labor and delivery wards in the United States, according to a new study published by the Charlotte Lozier Institute that instead pins the blame on a lack of training opportunities and declining birth rates.

Comparative Acuity of Emergency Department Visits Following Pregnancy Outcomes Among Medicaid Eligible Women, 2004-2015

Consistent with national trends for ED visits, both the number and acuity of ED visits following pregnancy outcomes are increasing. ED visit acuity following chemical abortion is persistently and significantly higher than for surgical abortion or live birth.

First Pregnancy Abortion or Natural Pregnancy Loss: A Cohort Study of Mental Health Services Utilization

While both induced abortion and natural pregnancy loss have been associated with subsequent mental health problems, population-based studies directly comparing these two pregnancy outcomes are rare. This study compared mental health morbidity after an induced abortion to natural loss. Only the abortion cohort experienced significant increases in mental health services use following the first pregnancy outcome.
