Abortionist Suggests ER Doctors Should Falsify Records to Hide Abortion Complications

In a recent article published by Salon writer Amanda Marcotte, Dr. Daniel Grossman recommended that ER doctors should prepare for a post-Roe world by hiding abortion complications from law enforcement.

In the article, Grossman suggested that law enforcement in pro-life states would use the medical records of post-abortive women to prosecute them, and medical professionals should falsify records as a result.

Marcotte wrote, “Dr. Grossman also suggested that doctors themselves need to be educated on how to better protect patients. Once abortion is banned, [Grossman] notes, ‘some of this is going to fall on emergency department clinicians,’ because patients who show up with rare complications — or, in some cases, are just worried — after taking abortion pills at home.”

Marcotte also quotes Grossman as saying, “We need to get better about really figuring out what questions we need to ask and what we need to document in the medical record.” Grossman expressed concern that “the medical record could be used against the patient to potentially prosecute them.”

Grossman has even suggested that women should go as far as to order abortion pills before they become pregnant. In a Tweet on Oct 14, Grossman said that having abortion pills should be "like having Tylenol in the cabinet for a headache, cramps, or painful injury."

Grossman's suggestions endanger the lives of women. If a woman's medical record is falsified, then doctors who treat that woman in the future will have incomplete knowledge of that woman's medical history. This can make it harder to provide potentially life-saving health care.

If a woman takes the abortion pill regimen without first visiting a doctor to verify the gestational age of her unborn child or diagnose any pregnancy conditions such as ectopic pregnancy, then she is at high risk of suffering severe and life-threatening complications.

An unborn child is not an injury or sickness to be treated with medicine. An unborn child is an innocent human being, and their lives deserve protection.
