..and those women are miscarrying
Unintended consequences of "pro-life" policies. The "forced birthers" are causing forced birth of dead babies.

Roevember, people. |
To use an oft repeated phrase…unintended consequences… |
We should probably start calling them the pro-death movement |
That seems to violate federal law. Why is it that forced birthers have no problem going after hospitals, but prochoice advocates are cowards? https://www.cms.gov/medicare/regulations-guidance/legislation/emergency-medical-treatment-labor-act |
I bet these are Catholic hospitals turning away women. Oh the irony. |
Did you read the article? It’s based entirely on investigative reports from CMS finding violations of federal law. |
I don't understand how this case is at all related to anything "anti-abortion:"
Waco hospital is just over 30 minutes from Falls Community. I am wondering why a 9 month pregnant woman would go to a hospital that does not have OB services. Did she not have any prenatal care and know what hospital she was scheduled to deliver at? I would never dream of showing up at a hospital with no OB services and expect them to deliver a baby. |
Good luck forcing doctors to provide care. They are going to walk away, and they should. Why should they risk everything? That’s not what they signed up for. They didn’t agree to risk imprisonment, and lose of their entire livelihood. |
Circumstances like these are why those countries like Poland and Mexico have found abortion prohibitions are unsustainable. It doesn't take long before everyone on the country has personal, devastating losses from these policies. |
+1 One of the SCOTUS justices who was otherwise conservative voted in favor of Roe because he had a clerk whose girlfriend had died as a result of an illegal abortion. |
The median income for a household in Marlin, TX is $21,443. It’s not hard to imagine that pregnant women there aren’t getting perfect prenatal care. And when your water breaks you go to the nearest hospital so you don’t have to deliver your baby on the shoulder of the road. |
Maybe empyting ERs of doctors would make those states reconsider |
Hey hey now… Don’t be threatening innocent men, with compromised healthcare! |
Already happening. “New doctors applying to medical residency programs were likelier to avoid practicing in states with the most stringent abortion restrictions, an analysis from the Association of American Medical Colleges found. The drop in applications, particularly for OB-GYN residencies, could exacerbate the lack of maternal health care in those states, which already have the highest maternal mortality rates in the U.S. Emergency medicine and OB-GYN residencies saw the largest nationwide declines, with 21.4% and 5.2% drops respectively.” https://www.axios.com/2023/04/18/abortion-ban-states-drop-student-residents |
