more specifically, a miscarriage is “spontaneous abortion.”

And the proper after-care is a D&C… which anti-abortion activists have convinced med schools and ob/gyn programs to make no longer a required part of the med students’ training.

The level of ignorance about biology and medicine which has been displayed lately by GOP politicians is frightening.

“There is a cult of ignorance in the United States, and there has always been. The strain of anti-intellectualism has been a constant thread winding its way through our political and cultural life, nurtured by the false notion that democracy means that ‘my ignorance is just as good as your knowledge.”

― Isaac Asimov
