WI woman bled for more 10 days from miscarriage after emergency room staff would not remove tissue

A woman with a life-threatening ectopic pregnancy sought emergency care at the University of Michigan Hospital after a doctor in her home state worried that the presence of a fetal heartbeat meant treating her might run afoul of new restrictions on abortion.

At one Kansas City, Mo., hospital, administrators temporarily required “pharmacist approval” before dispensing medications used to stop postpartum hemorrhages, because they can also be also used for abortions.

And in Wisconsin, a woman bled for more than 10 days from an incomplete miscarriage after emergency room staff would not remove the fetal tissue amid a confusing legal landscape that has roiled obstetric care.

In the three weeks of turmoil since the Supreme Court overturned the constitutional right to abortion, many physicians and patients have been navigating a new reality in which the standard of care for incomplete miscarriages, ectopic pregnancies and other common complications is being scrutinized, delayed — even denied — jeopardizing maternal health, according to the accounts of doctors in multiple states where new laws have gone into effect.

While state abortion bans typically carve out exceptions when a woman’s life is endangered, the laws can be murky, prompting some obstetricians to consult lawyers and hospital ethics committees on decisions around routine care.

So ... welcome to more shitshow. Which law in Wisconsin is applicable?

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Abortion_in_Wisconsin

The status of abortion in Wisconsin is unclear. It has been reported to be both legal to 22 weeks[1] and illegal from conception.[2] However, it is largely unavailable, as all regular abortion providers in the state have closed in the wake of Dobbs and the potential threat of prosecution. Wisconsin Attorney General Josh Kaul has filed a lawsuit, arguing that a 1985 law allowing abortion to the point of viability superseded an 1849 law banning abortion, and that the 1849 law is therefore unenforceable.[3]

[snip]

In 1849, the state legislature passed a law that criminalized abortion, making it a felony for a doctor to perform an abortion on a woman, no matter the circumstances of her pregnancy including pregnancy as a result of rape or incest, unless the pregnancy endangers the life of the mother.[14][15] In the 19th century, bans by state legislatures on abortion were about protecting the life of the mother given the number of deaths caused by abortions; state governments saw themselves as looking out for the lives of their citizens.[16]

By 1950, the state legislature would pass a law stating that a woman who had an abortion or actively sought to have an abortion, regardless of whether she went through with it, was guilty of a criminal offense.[16]

[snip]

Wisconsin banned abortion immediately after the 2022 Supreme Court decision overturning Roe v Wade, per a state law that automatically caused abortion to be banned if Roe v Wade was repealed [30].

[snip][end]

That one, I guess. :D

Well, uh ... OK still unclear.

No, they DID NOT pass a NEW 2022 trigger law; BUT, it seems that they had that 1849 law on the books and just left it there since it was null and void after the Roe decision.

With Roe's overturn ... it's baaaaaack. :D
