It is very disappointing that major media is not reporting these stories. Not surprising, but disappointing. [/quote]

The only abortions illegalized by Dobbs were certain pre-viability abortions in conservative states. The odds that there are a sufficient number of bleed outs that ten thousand occurred among the population of women familiar with this relatively obscure commentator is zero. Thats not a political statement on my part; it's just a matter of whats even remotely plausible or not. [/quote]
Forced birthers just aren’t very bright.

Essentially all abortions were made illegal in forced birther states, including ones that forced birther women didn’t think “counted” as abortions.

At a minimum several thousand women online in these forced birthers states had poorly managed miscarriages or other early pregnancy complications.

The internet being what it is, word travels fast when some flaccid weird man claims it didn’t happen.

Women have died from these bans, guaranteed. [/quote]

I know you're constantly affirmed in your intelligence, but let me run something by you:

Before Dobbs, you could ban post-viability abortions. So to say that "essentially all abortions were made illegal" after Dobbs means that [b]certain pre-viability abortions were made illegal[/b]; the post-viability abortions were *already* illegal. To suggest that tens, if not hundreds, of thousands of women have "bled out" because they couldn't get a pre-viability abortion is just so self-evidently untrue that really the only suitable epithet for it is "alternative facts."[/quote]

Given how the vast majority of abortions happen pre-viability and given the extreme restrictions, [b]essentially all abortions are, in fact, now banned in many red states[/b]. DP.

I'm the poster you quoted. I don't really disagree with much of what you said, but that's kind of my point: Saying that essentially all abortions are banned in red states is simply not the same thing as saying that tens or thousands of women have died from those bans. It's the uncritical and counterfactual elision of those subjects that I was objecting to. [/quote]
