+1 Mike Pence was on Meet the Press this past Sunday and when asked, that “limited government” guy went full speed ahead towards constitutional rights for embryos and fetuses. |
+1 GOP is full of pervs. |
Good. Someone needs to stand up for the child victims of rape. No child should be expected to carry a baby to term. |

Not sure why these posts got taken down.
Anyhow: Forget the current case and just focus on statistics. 300 age 10-14 year old girls were pregnant in Ohio alone, per data from their health dept. https://odh.ohio.gov/know-our-programs/vital-statistics/resources/vs-teenpreg2016 We can talk about all the reasons why this should never happen, ways to prevent it by laws, parenting, immigration law or whatever you want, but all of that is a deflection from the crux of the matter: You will NOT prevent 100% of young children from getting pregnant. Not in a population of millions of people. So even though it shouldn't happen, it will. Do you force 10 year old girls to carry pregnancies to term? 13 year olds? 15 year olds? What's the cutoff? Mind you, all teen pregnancies are the highest risk in terms of possible healthcare complications. Higher risk than geriatric pregnancy, statistically speaking. Absolutely not. |

And just as we expected, the forced birther trash in government is investigating the doctor who provided the 10 year old with her life saving abortion.
https://apnews.com/article/indiana-abortion-ohio-girl-raped-caitlin-bernard-4de25dd09f61fbaed4a83bce34d7fa83 Forced birthers are monsters and there is nothing that is too far for them. Remember earlier in this thread when they thought it was made up? |
She should be able to prove everything she says, right? Because there should be records |
Yes. However, the legal ramifications will be far reaching in creating fear among providers and limiting ANY OB care in states that are aggressive in their approach to physicians. Insurance is already prohibitively expensive for OB providers. |
Exactly. And then when OB's won't perform abortions that might technically come within one of the "exceptions," they will refuse to make the connection. |
What OBs? These states will not be attracting OBs to set up their practices. |
+1 If women think they had long waits for prenatal appointments (and gyn visits, but prenatal is how many appointments over one healthy pregnancy? And if problems develop there are so many more appointments) in some of these states, just wait. I hope all the forced birther women get exactly the experience they’re hoping for for other women. |
There are records and they've proven her side of the story. But the extremists in power want to punish her for letting this story be known to the public. They are trying to strip her of her license. Even if she wins, this case of persecution is a signal to doctors everywhere that extremists in power are ready to go after them for helping women in need. So expect way more stories of women experiencing crisis pregnancies who cannot get the health care they require because the OBs and their hospitals don't want to be targeted by the extremist anti-abortionists. https://www.washingtonpost.com/nation/2023/05/25/caitlin-bernard-indiana-abortion-rape-victim/?utm_campaign=wp_main&utm_medium=social&utm_source=twitter

If people continue to vote for pro-lifers, why should anyone care they have complications and are shocked that their situation isn't different? |
I really don’t care if forced birthers get caught in their own trap. That’s the world they want, fine, live your moronic truth. But I do care about all the children who this will affect and all the decent pro choice people who will get caught up in this. I’m beyond caring about what happens to the people who made this happen. |
