This type of thing would never happen in the U.S., where conservatives want to overturn Roe v. Wade? I recently read about a woman who was denied a D&C to remove a dead fetus from her womb because the procedure was the same thing as an abortion.
Well, what people don't understand is that Roe v Wade didn't legalize abortion. It just said that you couldn't be prosecuted in a state where abortion is illegal for having an abortion in a state where abortion is legal, and that medical procedures are between you and your doctor. Which did, in effect, legalize abortion, but even if it were overturned it wouldn't change any state laws.
