“Laws designed to limit #abortion procedures are not meant to block access to care for women who are seeking treatment for a miscarriage or ectopic pregnancy.
“Abortion laws do not penalize or criminalize women seeking an abortion; they regulate health care providers. This is true even in states with restrictive abortion laws, such as South Dakota, Indiana, Texas and Alabama.”

That says a lot about how much to trust it right there. It is essentially a conservative propaganda piece.
It doesn't matter what the GOP tells us these laws are "designed" to do. The real confusion, the real effects, the real injuries and deaths tell you they are terrible laws. It's not even just women suffering. Newborn mortality has shot up as well.
