Where do you consider the line for "life of the mother"? I had an ectopic pregnancy that was caught early and treated with methotrexate, enabling me to avoid getting to the point of needing surgical removal of the ectopic/tube, or getting to the point of rupture and possible hemorrhage. But the methotrexate was given before my life was "officially" in jeopardy (way before chance of tubal rupture). In your mind, was that acceptable? Or should I have been forced to wait until I was actively hemorrhaging? Similarly, what about cases like Savita Halapannavar in Ireland, or Amanda Zurawski in Texas (the subject of the new Biden ad)? In both cases, water broke far too early for the fetus to survive but, since there was still a fetal heartbeat, both women were denied appropriate medical treatment (abortion) and went septic. Savita died (and Ireland's anti-abortion laws soon changed). Amanda survived but will likely never be able to carry a pregnancy due to the damage inflicted on her body. What is your threshold for deciding their lived are enough at risk to provide appropriate medical care? |
Here is no medical procedure called partial birth abortion. There is a procedure sometimes used in the later second trimester into the very early third that is the best option for some women experiencing a doomed but wanted pregnancy, which extracts the fetus in a way that is safest for the mother and her future fertility. Just because you find this procedure gruesome does not mean that it is not the best option for the mother. It is not used willy nilly on healthy pregnancies. Planned Parenthood is a godsend for so ,any women who can’t afford to go see a doctor for screenings and birth control. Your screed shows how biased you are. And as some PP said why in the world do want some woman who “sleeps around” and has had 17 abortions to be forced to bring one to term? Maybe get her some birth control from Planned Parenthood.You sounds extremely judgmental. |
That’s called the point of viability and Roe already addressed that. |
This is one of the most incoherent and ill-informed rants I’ve ever read on here. |
"The law defines a partial birth abortion as a procedure in which the doctor “deliberately and intentionally vaginally delivers a living fetus until, in the case of a headfirst presentation, the entire fetal head is outside the body of the mother, or, in the case of a breech presentation, any part of the fetal trunk past the navel is outside the body of the mother, for the purpose of performing an overt act (usually the puncturing of the back of the child's skull and removing the baby's brains) that the person knows will kill the partially delivered living fetus.” The number of such abortions carried out each year in the US is thought to be between 2200 and 5000. They are most often performed in the second trimester." https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC1857800/ |
So you DON'T just believe in "first trimester," as you said before. Was that a lie, or had you just not thought it through? |
so basically you support Roe. Thanks for playing. |
And those fetuses had already died of natural causes, but you knew that already and decided to mislead with it. This is from the part you left out at your link:
|
What? Do you actually think Planned Parenthood sends out employees to solicit abortions from pregnant-appearing people on the street? Are you lying or just so fringe you can't see that's crazy? |
DP, and no. Because they don't exist. They are a creation of right wing zealots who are determined to believe in them in order to justify their fixation on abortion. |
Still no answer to this?? |
Is an answer from one of the forced birthers going to change anything? At its heart the forced birther answer is essentially that women don’t matter. If one dies here or there it doesn’t matter to them. |
