If she received immediate care, she would no longer be at risk. In the same way if you take drugs for high cholesterol, you will no longer be at risk for a heart attack.

Stopping risk is preventative care, not an immediate life threat.

If someone is stabbed and not bleeding to death, they aren’t immediately dying. They will be given a bandaid and sent home.

She wasn’t at risk of dying when they sent her home. The early abortion would have been preventative care.

Are you ok with every woman at 10 weeks being allowed an abortion as long as she can find any doctor that tells her, “You might be at risk.” Because all pregnancies are a risk.
