Ectopic Pregnancy Deaths Have Nearly Doubled. It’s Worse in States With Abortion Bans.

https://www.propublica.org/article/ectopic-pregnancy-deaths-doubled-analysis

I saw a woman the other day trying desperately to be apologetic for these laws by pointing out that they made an exemption for Ectopic pregnancy but again as I pointed out this not a good Counter argument for the simple reason that this flawed defense ignores the reality that an Ectopic pregnancy is a GENUINE medical emergency, The woman dies if she doesn't get an Abortion in this circumstance and so does the child in all likelihood as it's hardly a viable pregnancy without it's mother. it is a race against the clock when one happens to abort the child to prevent it from rupturing her Fallopian tube and doing serious damage. Likely fatal. The point I wanted to argue though is a Doctor in this fragile medical emergency has to take time out of their day to Consult Lawyers to make certain it's OK To abort, and to clear it with the LEGAL DEPARTMENT of the Hospital- all time a woman DOES NOT HAVE in the event of a Medical Emergency. ERGO, ANYONE WHO SUPPORTS THESE BANS HAS BLOOD ON THEIR HANDS. PERIOD.
I don't give a FUCK if you allow an exemption. NOT GOOD ENOUGH.

They as well have fewer EPA laws which is just as likely to cause such pregnancies.

They are the cause of the whole problem as well as the problem in the treatment.
I've occasionally asked online whether the abortion bans since Dobbs (June 2022) have reduced abortion rates at all, or whether they have created a nation of scofflaws the way Prohibition did.

Google's AI sez
According to tracking data from organizations like the Guttmacher Institute, the overall number and rate of formal, clinician-provided abortions nationwide in 2024 and 2025 rose compared to pre-Dobbs levels (reaching an estimated 16.7 abortions per 1,000 women aged 15–44), as increases in accessible states offset reductions in banned states

So yeah, the answer looks like nation of scofflaws. I assume most pill-based abortions are counted among the clinician-provided numbers because a prescription is required. However, one of the morning-after pills is non-prescription over-the-counter, so I'm guessing those stats are unknown.

@ElwoodBlues those companies just might give some figures. If not the demographics.
