Anti-abortion org accidentally concedes the life-long economic harms of abortion denial.

These women were denied treatment for ectopic pregnancies even though TX's abortion ban has an express exception for ectopic pregnancy. Draconian abortion bans create a culture of fear that undermines even clear exceptions. It's even worse for vague health/life exceptions.
