Interesting. Perhaps a lot of doctors might start prescribing a particular ulcer medication, with a very clear warning: If you use this while you’re pregnant, it will cause a miscarriage. This is an off-label use. It will cause a miscarriage if you use it off-label.

Using the medication in such a way would become a prosecutable offense in many states. Even the doctors would be prosecuted if the state could prove some “reasonable suspicion” on the doctor’s part that the medication might be used is such a way.
