One about killed a woman by not identifying her pregnancy is ectopic. Many anti abortion folks are convinced that even ectopic pregnancies can be viable.

These places promise things like free pregnancy tests and medical advice to get people in the door.

They really just exist to pressure women into not getting abortions. They will lie through their teeth - all the classics, like suggesting that an abortion makes it impossible to get pregnant again, or that abortion causes cancer - they’ll say anything to prevent an abortion.

They are pretty much completely unregulated, and present themselves as secular non profits.

    In the story I linked, they gave a woman an ultrasound and confirmed to her that it was an intrauterine pregnancy. That seems to be “practicing medicine” to me.

    The question is did they actually know that it was ectopic and lied to her (because the religious right is doing a huge push right now to convince people that ectopic pregnancies are somehow survivable), or did they lie to her about the ultrasound, or did they just fuck it up entirely?

    All three extremely disturbing, and probably all three happening daily at this evil places.
