In a <a href=\"https:\/\/thehill.com\/homenews\/state-watch\/3570880-planned-parenthood-website-removes-distinction-between-ectopic-pregnancy-and-abortion\/\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">statement<\/a>, Adrienne Verrilli, vice president of communications and culture at Planned Parenthood, told the Hill that the language change was due to the pro-life movement, who she said would &#8220;twist&#8221; their language for nefarious purposes.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cPlanned Parenthood believes that everyone should have access to medically accurate information to help them make informed decisions about their health care and their lives \u2014 without judgment,\u201d she said. \u201cThat is why we regularly update the health information on our website. Anti-abortion politicians, on the other hand, routinely misrepresent language around ectopic pregnancy to serve their own agenda. Our web page on ectopic pregnancy was updated to retain factual information about ectopic pregnancy, while also ensuring that the information could not be twisted or misrepresented by anti-abortion politicians.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Still, Verrilli continued by admitting that treatment for ectopic pregnancy is not the same thing as an abortion &#8212; and ended with fear-mongering about pro-life laws.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Although these treatments are different from abortion care, many patients and health care providers fear potential civil and criminal penalties around the treatment of pregnancy outcomes \u2014 including but not limited to ectopic pregnancy \u2014 because of the egregious overturning of Roe v. Wade,&#8221; she said. &#8220;As a result, patients experiencing an ectopic pregnancy may have life-saving treatment delayed or denied due to providers\u2019 fears of facing legal or criminal repercussions.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><strong>7\/21\/22:<\/strong> Planned Parenthood has freshly scrubbed its website in light of the media&#8217;s attempts to convince women that ectopic pregnancy treatments and other lifesaving procedures are actually abortions.
