Hey look at the Republican here to sow sadness! Welcome, friend! |
They do not have that. Two women who had ectopic pregnancies and should have been granted an abortion of the pregnancy. These women were refused treatment from hospitals afraid of the legal liability and repercussions should they treat the patients and be sued by the draconian Texas state government. These women lost their fallopian tubes and their ability to get pregnant again in the future. This should have been an easy decision, but the Texas laws caused them to become infertile. These women lost the ability to control their own health and medical treatment.

There is no medically known way at this point to save the baby. Or for the baby to survive until birth. But, because this baby had a heartbeat, Texas law forbade her from getting an abortion. With zero chance of life for the baby. With no time to drive to another state for an abortion, she was sent home and told to "look for signs of infection". She had to wait until she had a fever of 103 degrees, chills and shaking and was delirious and at risk of dying before the doctors considered it safe enough to perform the abortion that was indicated hours earlier before the infection signs had settled in. She developed sepsis and had to be transported to the ICU. She nearly died. She and her doctors knew that it would have been safest to have had the abortion hours before shortly after her water broke. But she didn't have the right to make the decision to avoid endangering her life to protect a baby that had no chance to live. https://www.cnn.com/2022/11/16/health/abortion-texas-sepsis/index.html There are many more stories out there about women who do not have the right to make decisions about their own health or control their own medical treatment. How would you feel if you had a medical condition that could threaten your life and you were not allowed to choose the medical treatment that was most likely to safe your life? Imagine that you had an appendix on the verge of rupturing, but you were not allowed to have the appendix removed and you had to wait until the appendix ruptured, risking sepsis and risking losing your life before you were allowed to have the surgery to save your life? That's the situation these women are in. |
2016: no SC abortion decision
2024: SC abortion decision We are NOT going back! |
You are not the only one to think this way. Ask yourself, have you tried to help one orangehad-felon-voting person change their decision to even think of voting for that orange head felon? If you have not, go out there (or from inside your place) and DO SOMETHING! If each sane one of us can change the mind if just one to vote Harris, we are not going back. |
I think she's too short to be elected president. She's only 5'4 ![]() The only President that short was James Madison, and that was like 200 years ago. And of course he practically authored the Constitution, so maybe he got some credit for that. Kamala has nothing remotely comparable. |
So naive, get an education |
