Forced birthers have been very clear that they want to take us back in time to an era where women were essentially either owned by their father or their spouse. You know, “originalism.”

That is why the red wave was just a little tinkle for the mid terms and that is why they will lose in 2024. Only a minority actually is interested in going backwards. The significant majority is not at all interested in that.

Exactly. And enough of these heinous stories of women waiting to be closer to death, to having to scramble to find 40K for an abortion, of raped children being denied abortions are getting out and people do not like what “forced birth” actually looks like.

Some of the victims are fighting back.

Another bad and badly written law.

These people were rescued by the compassion of Planned Parenthood and their donors. And they are now single issue, pro choice voters. https://www.cnn.com/2023/02/08/health/ohio-abortion-long/index.html

Terrible story. Can we please all work hard and vote hard and donate hard to return the good people of this country to the sensible protections of Roe.

Honestly now that Roe is gone I want something better. I want doctors to regulate abortion the same as any other procedure is regulated. I think if this woman’s fetus’s condition had been discovered at 30 weeks that she still should have been able to get it done. There should be doctors and hospitals and clinics available evenly throughout the country. I think TRAP laws should be illegal forever. I think telemedicine abortions early in pregnancy should be easily available too.

In short I trust women to do what works best for their lives and I trust that’s probably the best path forward. Instead of a family that had already spent their savings on fertility treatments potentially having to put a $30,000 abortion on their credit card. I fervently wish that forced birthers would be more thoughtful and intelligent about this, especially since statistics are that they have just as many abortions as the rest of us.

Reading that article - that’s not even small good news.

This article illustrates why it is so important to protect a woman’s right to choose:

Similar cases have already happened here, including in Maryland, relying on the discredited lung float test mentioned in that article. ProPublica just reported on it: https://www.propublica.org/article/is-lung-float-test-reliable-stillbirth-medical-examiners-murder

Expect such cases to rise with the draconian abortion laws.

I’m pretty sure the forced birth hardliners are looking forward to this.

Such cases don’t bother them in the least. They don’t care if innocent mothers are harmed, even if that harms their children already in this world, as long as no one they think is guilty gets away with the crime they accuse them of. Therein lies the difference between Dems and Repubs.

Except this didn’t have anything to do with the recent decision.

She was not prevented from getting an abortion.

She didn’t have insurance cover for the abortion due to a state law that dictates what health insurance coverage is available to state employees. A law that has existed for 25 years.

The law that prohibited state employees using their insurance to cover abortion except in narrowly defined cases was enacted in 1998.

A good reminder of why politicians should not be enacting sweeping laws that restrict health care coverage, especially when it only targets half the population.

So a forced birther law putting abortion behind special road blocks is unrelated to forced birther politics because… you want to wish away the insane political activism of forced birthers of the last fifty or so years?
