Original Note:
This post is factually incorrect. Texas law only prevents the D&C procedure if a fetal heart beat is detected. Although the same procedure is used for miscarriage and abortion, the key difference is that the fetus/baby is no longer alive in the case of miscarriage. https://statutes.capitol.texas.gov/Docs/HS/htm/HS.171.htm https://americanpregnancy.org/healthy-pregnancy/miscarriage/ https://www.mayoclinic.org/tests-procedures/dilation-and-curettage/aboutpac-20384910 https://www.plannedparenthood.org/learn/abortion/in-clinic-abortion-procedures/what-happens-during-an-in-clinic-abortion
