What does the new abortion ban mean to those who take epilepsy drugs? | February 1, 2024

A lot more than you may think.

It could result in catastrophic life-threatening illness for women of childbearing age.

Simply put, the abortion ban may mean denial of effective drugs for women with MS, Migraines and Epilepsy.

“The dissolution of Roe v. Wade is expected to lead to abortion bans or severe restrictions in more than 28 states. These new restrictions may have life-changing and even life-threatening consequences in these states for women of childbearing age with conditions like migraine, multiple sclerosis (MS) and epilepsy.“

    Yep, this is why medical decisions should be made by patients and doctors and not by politicians.

    Catastrophic, indeed. Plus, if you do get pregnant, as I did, on Depakote, I couldn’t keep the pregnancy, as much as I had wanted to. I miscarried in the end, en route to a therapeutic abortion. These decisions belong to the women and their doctors!!

    Maybe they should try a one way ticket, all expenses paid.
