Quite possibly if you showed up at a clinic they may send you to an ER depending upon how bad it is. As I understand it they can be treated with either meds or surgery if bad enough.

(6,594 posts)If only there was a group in Texas that could pressure gun stores to close ... close a gun shop for every abortion clinic closed. Use the same tactics as abortion protesters, make "Guns Are Murder" signs & block store entrances. Have "sidewalk counselors" trying to convince people to find an alternative to a firearm.
Again, I feel like Democrats are too damn timid to get out & do this, to do something that would get the attention of the old white men who want to control women's choices, & make them realize how absurd their actions are & that they violate women's rights.

Preach it!
