+2 Have you looked at the infant mortality rates in these states that have restricted health care access? Hint, they have risen! |
Women aren’t people in the GOP. None of it has to be real, they just repeat it over and over again and all the little weirdos in the GOP believe it. Women aren’t people in the GOP. |
The cruelty is the point. |
BREAKING: Trump and Harris have officially agreed to a debate on September 10th in Philadelphia hosted by ABC with no notes. |
Time for your meds. |
Harris caved because she knows she needs this debate. Her polls aren’t looking good this past week and RFK Jr endorsement is a game changer in states like Michigan. |
literally NO ONE electively aborts in the last trimester. This is the only trope you have. |
Great, another embarrassment for our country on live TV for the entire world to see. Those two need notes, teleprompters, drugs, frequent breaks, advisors nearby..... |
If you’d asked my very Catholic mother that question she would have said none. Then I had an ectopic pregnancy rupture. At age 32, married with 2 kids, if it matters. And there was no discussion by the doctors— it was all hands on deck, internal hemorrhage.. My husband was signing forms as they were rushing me into surgery. My Catholic mother is still devastated 15 years later. What I had was an abortion, albeit to save my life (too late to save my fertility though, and I wasn’t able to have the third child I wanted without intervention/ IVF, which I decided against). She believes that this means I am going to hell, and my decision to live (which felt like a medical emergency and not abortion politics) condemns me to hell. Her priest agrees (I didn’t ask her priest, or ask her for her priest’s opinions, but I got them). She still talks about her pain in knowing she won’t see me in heaven. Then again, she doesn’t see me much now. The whole thing was painful and incredibly scary/traumatizing and heartbreaking, and I just can’t with the “I won’t see you in heaven” crap she’s still spouting. So the answer is. Hopefully none. But life comes at you fast. Hence “the only good abortion is the one I need” mentality. You think your daughter could never possibly need an abortion. But, you could certainly end up like my mother, who would have sworn the same thing. I mean— the only man I ever had sex with was my husband. And yet… |
In 1973 SCOTUS held that, "held that personhood could not be granted to a fetus before “viability”—the point around 24 weeks of pregnancy when a fetus can survive outside the womb—and established a constitutional right to abortion access." A viable fetus is a person. Doctors do not abort viable fetuses. The term "abortion" is a medical procedure that can be used for both elective terminations of a pregnancy and as part of medical care for miscarriages and other medical problems with the pregnancy, including situations where the fetus is not viable and the woman's life is in danger. We know and have seen that legal restrictions on abortion care, which is essential medical care, lead to women dying and babies suffering. |
And this is why there were under Roe and should still be special case exceptions to permit abortions past the point of fetal viability. |
