[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Do you not have daughters? Sisters? Nieces?  What will you say to them when they need a D&C because they had a miscarriage and aren't able to get one and go into septic shock?  What happens when their fallopian tube ruptures due to an ectopic pregnancy and they start bleeding internally?  Does nobody think about the ramifications of their actions until it affects them individually?  Southern states are trying to ban abortions in all instances - rape, incest, health of the mother.  Why would you let your daughters, yourself, your nieces, your sisters, go through such pain?  HOW IS THIS NOT IMPORTANT TO YOU!?! Why is your money more important than your health? [/quote]

Not voting for Trump, but think the hysterics  (pun intended) are hyperbole. Republican women are not much different from Democrat women. I believe that reasonable policies will take place. I also believe Roe was bad precedent for ruling from the Ben h in many issues, and have asked for decades if this was so important why wasn’t it legislated or put in the constitution. Politicians should have continued to debate until there was a resolution among them. [/quote]
Reasonable policies lead to Amber Thurman’s death and her young son’s being motherless.

The Supreme Court interprets the constitutionality of our laws. They’re the highest court in the land and the final authority. The SC ruled in Roe that women have the right to abortion access. After 40+ years of Roe being the law of the land, all 3 of Trump’s SC nominees said they considered it to be settled law. Why would Congress debate settled law? The people who need to explain themselves are the ones who threw out precedent they indicated was settled.[/quote]

Amber Thurman died of a botched legal abortion, not because of withholding an abortion FFS.  [/quote]
She died because she was denied timely treatment after suffering an abortion complication. She was denied the treatment for 20 hours because the hospital was worried they’d be in legal trouble for treating her, due to abortion restrictions with punitive measures for medical providers who run afoul of these restrictions. Even though Georgia has an exception for the life of the mother, Amber Thurman wasn’t given the necessary treatment until it was too late to save her because medical professionals weren’t sure exactly when her death would be “imminent,” but could still be prevented. Unfortunately, they guessed wrong.[/quote]
