| Jay Weeldreyer told The Associated Press by phone from a hospital in the island nation that his partner, Andrea Prudente, is at risk of a life-threatening infection if the fetal tissue isn’t promptly removed. https://www.huffpost.com/entry/woman-miscarriage-malta-abortion_n_62b47ac8e4b06594c1e0dcaf |
| She didn’t have a miscarriage, the baby is still alive. A baby can survive at 16 weeks. https://www.liveaction.org/news/baby-survives-moms-water-breaks-16-weeks/ |
Not usually in Malta without life long handicaps. Can she be flown to the US? |
| In other news, couple goes to different country and are shocked they need to follow those laws…….. |
| She’s lucky she didn’t become another Savita Halappanavar. |
No it cannot. |
Without a placenta? |
| The woman in Malta was airlifted to Spain where they performed the medically necessary abortion. |
Bless your heart. Because newly expectant parents should always research the laws relating to abortion before traveling because you never know when your life might be placed at risk due to miscarriage. Thankfully the women can be transferred to Spanish territory for necessary medical treatment. But by all means wallow in your cavalier smugness. |
It’s all the rage in India. |

Not to say 'I told you so' but as a liberal who realized the implications of entire regions of the U.S. banning abortions from conception, this is exactly what it looks like when the girl from Oklahoma can't afford to drive or fly 8 states away for a safe procedure.
This woman just happened to fly around the world and get trade on an island with the same laws. |
In other news… coming to a state near you. |
They absolutely should. You never want to be trapped somewhere where the laws are against you and you're facing death for that reason. And its not like they didn't know they were pregnant as they characterized this holiday as a 'babymoon' on social media. - signed a pro-life as possible woman |
| Meant pro-choice but you get the point. |
You ARE pro life. Pro women’s lives. |
