Doctors are outraged after a state-level bill makes a false claim about a dangerous condition.

By Kayla Epstein Kayla Epstein Embedded audience editor on the National desk Email Bio Follow May 10 at 11:26 AM An abortion bill introduced in Ohio’s legislature drew scorn this week for including misinformation about a dangerous medical condition that can affect pregnant women.
An ectopic pregnancy occurs when a fertilized egg implants outside the uterus, or in the wrong part of the uterus, and usually presents in the first trimester. With the exception of some very rare cases of abdominal pregnancies, ectopic pregnancies do not result in the birth of a child and can cause potentially fatal ruptures and hemorrhages.
Several states have considered or enacted legislation known as “heartbeat bills,” which ban most abortions after six weeks into a pregnancy. Ohio’s governor signed one such bill into law in April. Critics of these bills claim that they ban abortion before a woman would likely know that she is pregnant, making it all but impossible to undergo the procedure.
“There’s already a lot of misinformation about contraception and abortion,” she said. “This adds yet another element into the mix.”
