Similar legislation \u003ca href=\"https://www.congress.gov/bill/114th-congress/house-bill/36\" target=\"_blank\">passed the U.S. House\u003c/a> but not the Senate.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The 20-week ban is “our top priority,” she said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But Clarke Forsythe, acting president and senior counsel for Americans United for Life, said his group plans no fundamental change in strategy.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It is more important than ever to focus on the risks to women and negative consequences,” he said in an interview. “The justices can’t sweep away the public health vacuum that they created with a few pen strokes.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Forsythe said that while the court’s ruling has “put some roadblocks in the way, and we will have to take those into consideration,” there are still plenty of opportunities to regulate abortion providers that could pass constitutional muster, particularly if they are more narrowly targeted than the Texas law was.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The nation’s oldest anti-abortion group, the National Right to Life Committee, has never embraced the push for health and safety regulations aimed at women.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Our focus has always been on the humanity of the unborn,” said its president, Carol Tobias, rather than potential risks to women seeking abortions.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Her group has instead been pushing state and federal bills to ban abortions after 20 weeks and ban “\u003ca href=\"http://www.webmd.com/women/dilation-and-evacuation-de-for-abortion\" target=\"_blank\">dilation and evacuation\u003c/a>” abortions, which are the most common procedure performed after the first trimester of pregnancy.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I don’t think the Texas decision is necessarily going to impact those types of legislation, and I know it’s not going to affect us,” she said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But there is one thing they all seem to agree on: The future makeup of the Supreme Court, and with it the future of abortion rights, hangs in the balance with the upcoming election.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Because of the vacancy left by the death of Justice Antonin Scalia last winter, “it is so obvious, so simple to make the case” about the importance of who controls the White House and Senate when it comes to Supreme Court appointments, said Dannenfelser.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We say the court’s always important,” said Tobias. “But this time we have solid proof.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The groups also agree on something else — that despite the victory at the Supreme Court, abortion-rights forces are not winning the fight.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The pro-life cause has never been stronger,” said Dannenfelser. “And our opponents’ position has never been weaker.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Immediately after the court’s ruling, said Tobias, “Planned Parenthood came out and said they were going to pass pro-abortion legislation and repeal pro-life legislation.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That is true. “Today’s victory means we can fight state by state, legislature by legislature, law by law, and restore women’s access to reproductive health care,” said Planned Parenthood Action Fund Executive Vice President Dawn Laguens in a statement.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But in fact, said Tobias, “they haven’t been able to do that in 40 years. The only way they make advances is through the courts.

In the past few decades, though, research began showing that the cuts were sometimes causing serious pain and injuries, including third and fourth degree lacerations, incontinence and sexual dysfunction. The cuts often proved slower to heal than a natural tear.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Armed with this information, many pregnant women started refusing the procedure, and most obstetricians stopped doing it routinely.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But some doctors are going against that trend.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Dr. Emiliano Chavira, a maternal and fetal medicine specialist at Dignity Health’s California Hospital Medical Center in Los Angeles, lists three main reasons why he suspects some providers continue to perform routine episiotomies: They’ve always done them, they lack awareness of best practices or they want to speed up deliveries.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Certain segments of the obstetric community are very slow to modernize the practice,” he said. “They’re very slow to abandon procedures that are not a benefit and, in fact, may be harmful.

For example, typing \"abortion services\" into a Google or Yahoo search engine can bring up links to nearby crisis pregnancy centers that do not offer abortion.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>These pregnancy centers buy the search ads for terms like \"abortion\" or \"pregnancy test\" so links for their clinics will appear on users' screens when they enter searches for those terms.

Last year, a district judge \u003ca href=\"http://www.sfgate.com/bayarea/article/Limits-upheld-on-ads-by-antiabortion-pregnancy-6097159.php\" target=\"_blank\">upheld the law\u003c/a>, saying false and misleading commercial speech is not protected by the First Amendment.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Oakland ordinance builds on a new statewide law that was signed by Gov. Jerry Brown last fall, the \u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/2015/11/04/california-law-adds-new-twist-to-abortion-religious-freedom-debate\" target=\"_blank\">Reproductive FACT Act\u003c/a>. It requires crisis pregnancy centers to notify their clients if they are not medically licensed.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In addition, clinics that are medically licensed are required to post a notice in their waiting room -- or let patients know when they check in for an appointment -- that there is financial assistance available for family planning services and abortion.

For example, typing \"abortion services\" into a Google or Yahoo search engine can bring up links to nearby crisis pregnancy centers that do not offer abortion.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>These pregnancy centers buy the search ads for terms like \"abortion\" or \"pregnancy test\" so links for their clinics will appear on users' screens when they enter searches for those terms. Their websites often say they offer \"abortion information\" or \"counseling for women seeking abortion.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Oakland officials want to prohibit them from doing this.

It's free speech. They say this kind of ordinance is an attack on their first amendment rights.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Using search terms to make women aware of your ministry and the services you provide, with regards to pregnancy alternatives, is very legitimate and would be foolhardy not to be utilized,” said Brad Dacus, an attorney with the Pacific Justice Institute, a nonprofit law firm that defends religious freedom.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Staff at crisis pregnancy centers do not lie, he said, adding, it’s \"insulting to women\" to assume they don't have the ability to ask questions before making an appointment to make sure the services they want are available.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It’s also very presumptive to believe that those who use search terms such as ‘abortion’ are presumably seeking just an abortion,\" he said. \"They may also be open, and possibly yearning, for other options.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Some crisis pregnancy centers challenged a similar false advertising law in San Francisco, which took effect in late 2011. Last year, a district judge \u003ca href=\"http://www.sfgate.com/bayarea/article/Limits-upheld-on-ads-by-antiabortion-pregnancy-6097159.php\" target=\"_blank\">upheld the law\u003c/a>, saying false and misleading commercial speech is not protected by the First Amendment.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Oakland ordinance builds on a new statewide law that was signed by Gov.

Here are five insights about the case that provide some context:\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>1. It's the first big win for supporters of abortion rights in a long time.\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The last time abortion-rights supporters were on the winning side of a big case at the Supreme Court was 16 years ago, when a 5-4 ruling in \u003ca href=\"https://www.oyez.org/cases/1999/99-830\" target=\"_blank\">Stenberg v. Carhart\u003c/a> struck down a Nebraska law banning a specific procedure abortion opponents called \"partial birth abortion.\" That win was effectively reversed in 2007, however, when the court upheld a similar federal law banning the same procedure, also on a 5-4 ruling, in \u003ca href=\"https://www.oyez.org/cases/2006/05-380\" target=\"_blank\">Gonzales v. Carhart\u003c/a>. The substance hadn't changed much, but the replacement of Justice Sandra Day O'Connor with Justice Samuel Alito in 2006 gave abortion opponents an extra vote, which was enough to change the outcome.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>After Monday's decision, many foes of abortion rights complained that there were few restrictions on abortion that would pass muster with the high court. But, in fact, in the years since the court first legalized abortion nationwide in \u003ca href=\"https://www.oyez.org/cases/1971/70-18\" target=\"_blank\">Roe v. Wade\u003c/a> in 1973, about half the major cases have been clear wins for abortion opponents, including upholding state laws requiring \u003ca href=\"https://www.law.cornell.edu/supremecourt/text/497/502\" target=\"_blank\">parental involvement for minors\u003c/a>, \u003ca href=\"https://www.oyez.org/cases/1991/91-744\" target=\"_blank\">waiting periods\u003c/a>, and \u003ca href=\"https://www.oyez.org/cases/1979/79-1268\" target=\"_blank\">bans on the use of public funds\u003c/a> to pay for abortions.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>2. It could put pro-abortion rights forces on the offensive.\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Since Republicans took over Congress and most state legislatures after the 2010 elections, states have enacted \u003ca href=\"https://www.guttmacher.org/article/2016/01/last-five-years-account-more-one-quarter-all-abortion-restrictions-enacted-roe\" target=\"_blank\">nearly 300 separate abortion restrictions\u003c/a>; the most in any five-year period since \u003cem>Roe v. Wade\u003c/em> was decided. Many of those were the same types of \u003ca href=\"https://www.guttmacher.org/sites/default/files/pdfs/spibs/spib_TRAP.pdf\" target=\"_blank\">laws claiming protections for women's health\u003c/a> that were struck down by the Supreme Court this week. Those laws include requiring doctors who perform abortions to have admitting privileges at a nearby hospital and requiring abortion clinics to meet the standards of facilities performing more involved surgical procedures.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The justices have already responded to petitions from some states with similar laws. Just a day after handing down the Texas ruling, they rejected appeals from \u003ca href=\"http://www.reuters.com/article/us-usa-court-abortion-idUSKCN0ZE1MJ\" target=\"_blank\">Mississippi and Wisconsin\u003c/a>, where physician admitting privilege laws had been blocked by lower court judges. Those laws are now permanently blocked. Officials in \u003ca href=\"http://www.ago.state.al.us/News-863\" target=\"_blank\">Alabama\u003c/a> also dropped their defense of a similar law.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But the decision doesn't automatically invalidate similar laws in other states because the effect of such statutes is different in every community. For example, what may amount to an \"undue burden\" in Texas because of the sheer size of the state might not be as burdensome in states with clinics closer together.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In states where lower court judges have already blocked laws, those blocks are almost certain to remain in place. But in other states opponents of the restrictions would have to work to overturn each law individually.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>They say that is what they plan to do. \"We will now will take this fight state by state to challenge and repeal laws all across the country,\" Planned Parenthood President Cecile Richards told reporters in a conference call immediately after the ruling.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Planned Parenthood announced on Thursday that it would pursue efforts to block or repeal similar laws in eight states: Arizona, Florida, Michigan, Missouri, Pennsylvania, Tennessee, Texas, and Virginia.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Abortion-rights supporters are also taking aim at some long-standing abortion restrictions in federal law. The \u003ca href=\"https://demconvention.com/news/democratic-platform-drafting-meeting-concludes/\" target=\"_blank\">draft Democratic platform\u003c/a> that will be finalized at the party's nominating convention in late July includes a plan calling for the repeal of the \u003ca href=\"http://www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php?storyId=121402281\" target=\"_blank\">Hyde Amendment\u003c/a>, which has banned most federal abortion funding since 1977. That provision was \u003ca href=\"https://www.hillaryclinton.com/briefing/statements/2016/06/25/statement-from-senior-policy-advisor-maya-harris-on-democratic-platform/\" target=\"_blank\">highlighted and praised\u003c/a> by presumptive nominee Hillary Clinton's campaign, noting that it represents the first time such an explicit vow has been included.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>3. Opponents of abortion rights aren't likely to retreat.\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>While the latest Supreme Court ruling was definitely a setback for abortion foes, they are not giving up. For one thing, \u003ca href=\"http://www.prochoiceamerica.org/assets/download-files/2016-wd-report.pdf\" target=\"_blank\">opponents remain in control of a majority\u003c/a> of state legislatures and governorships, and that's unlikely to change following this year's national elections.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Americans United for Life will continue to fight — in legislatures and in the courts — to protect women from a dangerous and greedy abortion industry,\" said AUL Acting President and Senior Counsel Clarke Forsythe. Americans United for Life has been at the forefront of \u003ca href=\"http://www.npr.org/sections/health-shots/2016/03/04/469094346/legal-foes-in-texas-abortion-case-are-using-new-playbooks\" target=\"_blank\">developing model laws\u003c/a> restricting access to abortion.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The movement against abortion rights has a much larger menu to choose from than the two issues the high court addressed. For example, many states (including Texas) have passed or are considering \u003ca href=\"https://www.guttmacher.org/sites/default/files/pdfs/spibs/spib_PLTA.pdf\" target=\"_blank\">bans on abortion after roughly 20 weeks of pregnancy\u003c/a>. Many of those bans are being \u003ca href=\"http://www.latimes.com/nation/nationnow/la-na-nn-abortion-idaho-20150530-story.html\" target=\"_blank\">challenged in the courts\u003c/a> but none has yet reached the Supreme Court. Other restrictions include requiring pregnant women to have ultrasounds before an abortion, to make multiple visits to an abortion provider and banning the use of \u003ca href=\"http://www.theatlantic.com/business/archive/2014/10/the-safer-more-affordable-abortion-only-available-in-two-states/381321/\" target=\"_blank\">telemedicine\u003c/a> for medical (as opposed to surgical) abortions using the abortion pill \u003ca href=\"https://www.nlm.nih.gov/medlineplus/druginfo/meds/a600042.html\">mifepristone\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Abortion opponents say they aren't giving up on pursuing health and safety standards like the ones struck down in Texas, either. \"This issue of safety standards is not over,\" said Marilyn Musgrave, vice president of government affairs at Susan B. Anthony List.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Even some similar laws could pass muster if they are crafted carefully enough, said Kristi Hamrick, a spokeswoman for Americans United for Life. \"We don't have a one-size-fits-all bill to send to the 50 states,\" she said. \"The law is specific and so the tools must be too.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>4. The decision could shake up national politics.\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Both sides in the long-polarized abortion debate are already pointing to the case in an effort to mobilize their supporters.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"This certainly makes the November presidential election even more critical,\" said Musgrave of the Susan B. Anthony List. \"It is so obvious that we need to elect a pro-life president.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>On the opposite side, Ilyse Hogue, president of NARAL Pro-Choice America, says the decision \"underscores what the election means for Supreme Court jurisprudence.\" With one vacancy already on the court and others likely in the next four years, she said, \"reproductive freedom is very much on the ballot this November.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Hillary Clinton's campaign hailed the decision. \"We need a president who will defend women's health and rights and appoint Supreme Court justices who recognize Roe v. Wade as settled law,\" said a statement from the candidate.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And while presumptive GOP nominee Donald Trump's campaign was silent on the issue in the immediate aftermath of the decision, Musgrave said abortion opponents are confident he is on their side. \"Say what you will about Donald Trump, his commitment to nominate pro-life justices — I've never seen another candidate do that,\" she said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>5. Younger generation will have a lot to say about the future of abortion rights.\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Among the many things the two sides in the abortion debate disagree about is how the younger generation feels about abortion. Polls tend to differ dramatically depending on how the question is asked.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Musgrave says, \"Our polling shows more and more millennials are pro-life, particularly when you look at things like 20-week (abortion) bans.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But Dawn Laguens, executive vice president of Planned Parenthood, says they are seeing the exact opposite — that younger women are more supportive of abortion rights. \"They're so social justice oriented,\" she said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And Laguens says that coming \u003ca href=\"http://www.wsj.com/articles/changing-u-s-demographics-favor-democrats-in-election-report-says-1456376460\" target=\"_blank\">demographic changes\u003c/a>, including a more diverse electorate that could tilt Democratic, are a main reason for the recent spike in anti-abortion legislating.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"They feel it slipping away,\" she said. \"They can see the demographics, too, and they want to lock this stuff in.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>Kaiser Health News is an editorially independent news service that is part of the nonpartisan Henry J.

Many of those were the same types of \u003ca href=\"https://www.guttmacher.org/sites/default/files/pdfs/spibs/spib_TRAP.pdf\" target=\"_blank\">laws claiming protections for women's health\u003c/a> that were struck down by the Supreme Court this week. Those laws include requiring doctors who perform abortions to have admitting privileges at a nearby hospital and requiring abortion clinics to meet the standards of facilities performing more involved surgical procedures.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The justices have already responded to petitions from some states with similar laws. Just a day after handing down the Texas ruling, they rejected appeals from \u003ca href=\"http://www.reuters.com/article/us-usa-court-abortion-idUSKCN0ZE1MJ\" target=\"_blank\">Mississippi and Wisconsin\u003c/a>, where physician admitting privilege laws had been blocked by lower court judges. Those laws are now permanently blocked. Officials in \u003ca href=\"http://www.ago.state.al.us/News-863\" target=\"_blank\">Alabama\u003c/a> also dropped their defense of a similar law.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But the decision doesn't automatically invalidate similar laws in other states because the effect of such statutes is different in every community. For example, what may amount to an \"undue burden\" in Texas because of the sheer size of the state might not be as burdensome in states with clinics closer together.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In states where lower court judges have already blocked laws, those blocks are almost certain to remain in place. But in other states opponents of the restrictions would have to work to overturn each law individually.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>They say that is what they plan to do. \"We will now will take this fight state by state to challenge and repeal laws all across the country,\" Planned Parenthood President Cecile Richards told reporters in a conference call immediately after the ruling.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Planned Parenthood announced on Thursday that it would pursue efforts to block or repeal similar laws in eight states: Arizona, Florida, Michigan, Missouri, Pennsylvania, Tennessee, Texas, and Virginia.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Abortion-rights supporters are also taking aim at some long-standing abortion restrictions in federal law. The \u003ca href=\"https://demconvention.com/news/democratic-platform-drafting-meeting-concludes/\" target=\"_blank\">draft Democratic platform\u003c/a> that will be finalized at the party's nominating convention in late July includes a plan calling for the repeal of the \u003ca href=\"http://www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php?storyId=121402281\" target=\"_blank\">Hyde Amendment\u003c/a>, which has banned most federal abortion funding since 1977. That provision was \u003ca href=\"https://www.hillaryclinton.com/briefing/statements/2016/06/25/statement-from-senior-policy-advisor-maya-harris-on-democratic-platform/\" target=\"_blank\">highlighted and praised\u003c/a> by presumptive nominee Hillary Clinton's campaign, noting that it represents the first time such an explicit vow has been included.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>3. Opponents of abortion rights aren't likely to retreat.\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>While the latest Supreme Court ruling was definitely a setback for abortion foes, they are not giving up. For one thing, \u003ca href=\"http://www.prochoiceamerica.org/assets/download-files/2016-wd-report.pdf\" target=\"_blank\">opponents remain in control of a majority\u003c/a> of state legislatures and governorships, and that's unlikely to change following this year's national elections.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Americans United for Life will continue to fight — in legislatures and in the courts — to protect women from a dangerous and greedy abortion industry,\" said AUL Acting President and Senior Counsel Clarke Forsythe. Americans United for Life has been at the forefront of \u003ca href=\"http://www.npr.org/sections/health-shots/2016/03/04/469094346/legal-foes-in-texas-abortion-case-are-using-new-playbooks\" target=\"_blank\">developing model laws\u003c/a> restricting access to abortion.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The movement against abortion rights has a much larger menu to choose from than the two issues the high court addressed. For example, many states (including Texas) have passed or are considering \u003ca href=\"https://www.guttmacher.org/sites/default/files/pdfs/spibs/spib_PLTA.pdf\" target=\"_blank\">bans on abortion after roughly 20 weeks of pregnancy\u003c/a>. Many of those bans are being \u003ca href=\"http://www.latimes.com/nation/nationnow/la-na-nn-abortion-idaho-20150530-story.html\" target=\"_blank\">challenged in the courts\u003c/a> but none has yet reached the Supreme Court. Other restrictions include requiring pregnant women to have ultrasounds before an abortion, to make multiple visits to an abortion provider and banning the use of \u003ca href=\"http://www.theatlantic.com/business/archive/2014/10/the-safer-more-affordable-abortion-only-available-in-two-states/381321/\" target=\"_blank\">telemedicine\u003c/a> for medical (as opposed to surgical) abortions using the abortion pill \u003ca href=\"https://www.nlm.nih.gov/medlineplus/druginfo/meds/a600042.html\">mifepristone\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Abortion opponents say they aren't giving up on pursuing health and safety standards like the ones struck down in Texas, either. \"This issue of safety standards is not over,\" said Marilyn Musgrave, vice president of government affairs at Susan B. Anthony List.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Even some similar laws could pass muster if they are crafted carefully enough, said Kristi Hamrick, a spokeswoman for Americans United for Life. \"We don't have a one-size-fits-all bill to send to the 50 states,\" she said. \"The law is specific and so the tools must be too.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>4. The decision could shake up national politics.\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Both sides in the long-polarized abortion debate are already pointing to the case in an effort to mobilize their supporters.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"This certainly makes the November presidential election even more critical,\" said Musgrave of the Susan B. Anthony List. \"It is so obvious that we need to elect a pro-life president.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>On the opposite side, Ilyse Hogue, president of NARAL Pro-Choice America, says the decision \"underscores what the election means for Supreme Court jurisprudence.\" With one vacancy already on the court and others likely in the next four years, she said, \"reproductive freedom is very much on the ballot this November.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Hillary Clinton's campaign hailed the decision. \"We need a president who will defend women's health and rights and appoint Supreme Court justices who recognize Roe v. Wade as settled law,\" said a statement from the candidate.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And while presumptive GOP nominee Donald Trump's campaign was silent on the issue in the immediate aftermath of the decision, Musgrave said abortion opponents are confident he is on their side. \"Say what you will about Donald Trump, his commitment to nominate pro-life justices — I've never seen another candidate do that,\" she said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>5. Younger generation will have a lot to say about the future of abortion rights.\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Among the many things the two sides in the abortion debate disagree about is how the younger generation feels about abortion. Polls tend to differ dramatically depending on how the question is asked.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Musgrave says, \"Our polling shows more and more millennials are pro-life, particularly when you look at things like 20-week (abortion) bans.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But Dawn Laguens, executive vice president of Planned Parenthood, says they are seeing the exact opposite — that younger women are more supportive of abortion rights. \"They're so social justice oriented,\" she said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And Laguens says that coming \u003ca href=\"http://www.wsj.com/articles/changing-u-s-demographics-favor-democrats-in-election-report-says-1456376460\" target=\"_blank\">demographic changes\u003c/a>, including a more diverse electorate that could tilt Democratic, are a main reason for the recent spike in anti-abortion legislating.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"They feel it slipping away,\" she said. \"They can see the demographics, too, and they want to lock this stuff in.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>","attributes":{"named":{},"numeric":[]}},{"type":"component","content":"","name":"ad","attributes":{"named":{"label":"floatright"},"numeric":["floatright"]}},{"type":"contentString","content":"\u003cdiv class=\"post-body\">\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>Kaiser Health News is an editorially independent news service that is part of the nonpartisan Henry J.

I exercise, eat reasonably well, don't smoke, I'm not \u003cem>that\u003c/em> old — OK, I'm 55. And I was having a heart attack.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The MI was caused by a tear in the inner lining of an artery, which is called a spontaneous coronary artery dissection, or \u003ca href=\"http://www.scadresearch.org/about/\" target=\"_blank\">SCAD\u003c/a>. SCADs occur predominantly in women who are \u003ca href=\"http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4060337/\" target=\"_blank\">fit and healthy\u003c/a>, with an average age of 42. We don't know why they happen, and I'm not sure there's anything I could have done to prevent it from happening. The first articles I read kept referring to SCAD as a rare disease. The \u003ca href=\"http://scadalliance.org/\" target=\"_blank\">SCAD Alliance\u003c/a> says this: \"SCAD isn't rare. It's rare to meet a survivor.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>My SCAD is being treated medically, which means healing on its own without stenting or bypass surgery. I've met survivors who have had multiple bypasses or stents, as well as a good percentage of us who, after an angiogram and hospital stays, are being treated with blood thinners and other prescription medications.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I've met some wonderful women through an online SCAD Survivors group and I'm thankful every day for them and the research now being done at the \u003ca href=\"http://www.scadresearch.org/about/research-notes/\">Mayo Clinic\u003c/a> in an effort to find causes and poss. SCAD survivors share information on how hard the first year is, the fear of recurrence (a real fear, as it happens frequently), anxiety, making progress in cardiac rehabilitation, and finding a \"new normal.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Mayo SCAD study is a fine example of patient-initiated research and the power of social media. Women from around the world have connected online when searching for answers to a relatively unknown and underdiagnosed cause of heart attacks. We're still connecting online, still searching.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Each week there are new people sharing their stories, many who are in their 20s, 30s and 40s, and others like me, who are over 50 but still too young for a heart attack. Some tell stories where they slip in \"after my third SCAD and second MI\" or \"three MIs in the first year.\" Sometimes the numbers in their stories are even higher. We all hope to keep the numbers down and find answers.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I am incredibly grateful to my friend Kirby, because her concern and her words got me to the point where I knew this was real. This was big. Ashen is an unusual color for me unless, as it turns out, my heart is not getting enough oxygen.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Heaps of thanks to my family and to my friends, especially those who, when they asked what they could do, came when I said that the dog really could use a walk.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>Linda Johns is a librarian and children's book author who is happy to still be alive in Seattle.

And I was having a heart attack.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The MI was caused by a tear in the inner lining of an artery, which is called a spontaneous coronary artery dissection, or \u003ca href=\"http://www.scadresearch.org/about/\" target=\"_blank\">SCAD\u003c/a>. SCADs occur predominantly in women who are \u003ca href=\"http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4060337/\" target=\"_blank\">fit and healthy\u003c/a>, with an average age of 42. We don't know why they happen, and I'm not sure there's anything I could have done to prevent it from happening. The first articles I read kept referring to SCAD as a rare disease. The \u003ca href=\"http://scadalliance.org/\" target=\"_blank\">SCAD Alliance\u003c/a> says this: \"SCAD isn't rare. It's rare to meet a survivor.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>My SCAD is being treated medically, which means healing on its own without stenting or bypass surgery. I've met survivors who have had multiple bypasses or stents, as well as a good percentage of us who, after an angiogram and hospital stays, are being treated with blood thinners and other prescription medications.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I've met some wonderful women through an online SCAD Survivors group and I'm thankful every day for them and the research now being done at the \u003ca href=\"http://www.scadresearch.org/about/research-notes/\">Mayo Clinic\u003c/a> in an effort to find causes and poss. SCAD survivors share information on how hard the first year is, the fear of recurrence (a real fear, as it happens frequently), anxiety, making progress in cardiac rehabilitation, and finding a \"new normal.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Mayo SCAD study is a fine example of patient-initiated research and the power of social media. Women from around the world have connected online when searching for answers to a relatively unknown and underdiagnosed cause of heart attacks. We're still connecting online, still searching.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Each week there are new people sharing their stories, many who are in their 20s, 30s and 40s, and others like me, who are over 50 but still too young for a heart attack. Some tell stories where they slip in \"after my third SCAD and second MI\" or \"three MIs in the first year.\" Sometimes the numbers in their stories are even higher. We all hope to keep the numbers down and find answers.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I am incredibly grateful to my friend Kirby, because her concern and her words got me to the point where I knew this was real. This was big. Ashen is an unusual color for me unless, as it turns out, my heart is not getting enough oxygen.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Heaps of thanks to my family and to my friends, especially those who, when they asked what they could do, came when I said that the dog really could use a walk.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>","attributes":{"named":{},"numeric":[]}},{"type":"component","content":"","name":"ad","attributes":{"named":{"label":"floatright"},"numeric":["floatright"]}},{"type":"contentString","content":"\u003cdiv class=\"post-body\">\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>Linda Johns is a librarian and children's book author who is happy to still be alive in Seattle.
