[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I thought Texas had a health/life exception?[/quote]

That's the problem with an exception like this. How long do you have to wait until the mother's health is in danger? How long is a doctor LIKELY to wait, to make sure it's beyond a shadow of a doubt to a jury of non-medical people in case they get charged after the fact? At that point, you are likely to wait longer, and let the mother get sicker so that you reduce your liability that a pro-birth nurse or colleague won't report you.

If the exception is that the mother's life has to be in danger, doctors will wait even longer, for fear of prosecution. They won't just say, "This is an ectopic pregnancy, her life will be in danger at some point so we'll just remove it." They will wait until the woman's life is in IMMEDIATE danger, which means letting things drag on until the situation is dire and the woman may not physically cover 100% of her health.

And let's not mince words that when you let women get sicker than they have to, so that if someone brings you up in violation of an anti-abortion law that you can defend your decision to a jury, they may very well have lifelong damage even if they don't die. For example, if you have bled so much that you require multiple transfusions, your heart and other organs can be permanently damaged. [/quote]

Read the linked article. The doctors’ hands are tied with these misogynistic laws. They have to wait far past the point their education, experience and judgment is telling them to act because they can’t risk prosecution.

Women are going septic. This is literally what happened prior to Roe, only prior to Roe women with missed miscarriages would be given the necessary abortions before it killed them.

Women aren’t people in the GOP. [/quote]
