Opinion: FDA shouldn’t allow politics to hurt women suffering miscarriage
A two-drug regimen would be a game-changer for women experiencing miscarriage — if they could get access to it.
When my obstetrician couldn’t detect a fetal heartbeat during my 9th week of pregnancy, he cleared his schedule. His assistant worked through lunch. They booked an operating room, lined up an anesthesiologist, coordinated insurance approvals, and scheduled a dilation and evacuation procedure for the following morning. It was over by noon. I was able to start healing, emotionally and physically.
I was lucky to get such fast and efficient care. It doesn’t work that way for countless women across the country.
