[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]She died because of malpractice and negligence, not the abortion law.  Doctors are absolutely allowed to preform abortions if the mother’s life is at risk- at any time.  The doctor failed to recognize this.  You can’t say her outcome would have been any different- the doctor still may have said “let’s wait”

This is why OB/GYN doctors have one of the highest rates of malpractice.  They make the wrong calls at times.

There is no ban appendectomies- yet women especially get delayed care or the “wait and see” or misdiagnosed at a high rate, leading  to sepsis and sometimes death.  There are a lot of bad doctors [/quote]
You are being intellectually dishonest (or dumb).  The AG in TX over rode a TX doctor's recommendation for an abortion in Kate Cox's case.  This is what happens when you let lawyers make decisions about healthcare instead of doctors.  Those lawyers have become death panels.

…”her doctors doctors refused to perform an abortion” so it hardly sounds like they recommended it or thought her life was in danger.  Being pregnant with a genetically abnormal baby isnt an emergency.  She was never hospitalized and there is no indication her doctors felt she needed an abortion.  In fact, it was she who reached out to the Center for Reproductive Rights to have her case heard.  She wanted an abortion so the baby didn’t suffer not because of imminent health risk. Seeing as there are zero statements from her doctors and they likely didn’t testify at court, or it would have been said. The person her felt her case fell under the health exception was “Duane, her lawyer”

There it is, folks. Even though pregnancies like Cox's are doomed and can endanger a woman's life, "being pregnant with a genetically abnormal baby isn't an emergency" so f off, you have to go to term, even if it is more dangerous for you, even if you have to suffer 3 or more months of carrying a baby who will die, while having to tell strangers and colleagues that no, you are not excited about the birth, that it is is dying baby, and even if that means you never get pregnant again because you've lost your window of opportunity for having another baby (yes, there are some of us who struggle with fertility and know we cannot give up even 3 months of opportunity to try). That is just cruel.[/quote]

You are misrepresenting facts to fit your narrative.  You posted this example as evidence of when doctors felt a women’s health was in immediate danger and she needed an abortion and the courts overruled the doctors medical recommendations.  But that isn’t what happened at all here.  The doctors felt she didn’t meet the medical exception criteria for her health being at likely at major risk and they wouldn’t give her an abortion.  So she went to court to try and overrule her doctors and get an exception, which the court denied and sided with the doctors.  So she went out of state to get one.[/quote]

And you are completely ignoring the facts to fit your narrative - notice how you did NOT respond to the fact that women who are carrying doomed fetuses and are denied abortions are faced with the cruelty of going to term against their will - 3 or 4 months or maybe even more - with a baby they know will die, having to answer questions left and right from strangers or colleagues or neighbors who don't know better than to ask about the fetus who it turns out is dying or going to die as soon as it is born. Waking up every morning knowing there is a dying baby inside them. Maybe some women want to deal with that heartbreak because they want to carry as far as possible to term, but many do not, many cannot withstand that psychological torture. I heard an interview with someone who was forced into this situation and she fell into a deep depression because of it. This is what you think is okay? Really? Disgusting. Yes, you are disgusting for shrugging at this scenario that does not have to happen. I didn't even mention the cruelty of the monetary costs of having to go to term, paying for NICU, paying for funerals, paying for postpartum care and time off.[/quote]
The blind dismissal of women really drives home the point that women aren’t people in the GOP.[/quote]
