Again, the family had choices. |
Mother can undego D&E. It isn't your place to choose what is least traumatic to another person, no? That IS what you are doing here. |
My staunchly conservative brother and sister in law were anti abortion till they found themselves in a very similar situation to this woman with a fatal diagnosis. My sister in law chose the potassium chloride and D&E route. |
Dp - so do they vote differently now? |
Choices were limited by her state. Why should a woman need to travel out of state for ethically appropriate healthcare? You also ignored the person with the very valid point of the logistics of finding a clinic that will do this late term abortion when it now requires out of state care and she cannot get a direct referral so needs to find an out of state doctor to take her on on short term notice. |
Doubtful but they also hate Trump as traditional conservatives so who knows how they are voting. However, I was vacationing with them and other conservative family members at the time RvW was overturned and my brother and a couple others bemoaned how the GOP is shooting itself in the foot on this issue and expressed concern it would cost elections. |
No comment on this question? |

Traumatic either way?
Who is to say? I would choose to terminate as that would be less traumatic for me. You might choose not to. That’s the point. We should all have a choice. We don’t need politicians ( or the nanny state if you will) deciding for us. |
Choices dictated by voters. Because their rights were taken away by a rogue Supreme Court. |
Again, she had choices. |
Relocate |
Sure, all women should move out of red states. What a great solution. |
Is that what you would have told someone in the pre civil war era who was bothered by slavery? Relocate to a free state if it bugs you so? |
| It is trauma either way, but ending the pregnancy early seems slightly less traumatic than watching a full grown baby struggle and die |
And what do you say to a woman who does not have any choices? Your mistake is to take this one example and decide this family had choices so pffft who cares about the law. But what does that mean for a woman who will lose her job for taking 5 days sick leave, who has no money, no family or friends to take care of her other children so she can fly to another state for an abortion, who does not have the wherewithal to find the clinic that will accept her? Your rigid absolutism (“she could find a way if she tried hard enough”) is the reason people reject conservative thinking. You really don’t care about people. And you don’t care they are put in such difficult circumstances. |
