[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]

A D&C is not abortion. Managing an etopic pregnancy is not abortion.

Abortion isn't healthcare, despite the new spin.[/quote]

Hello low-information non-medical professional making false statements about medical terms. This is just to inform you that just because you don’t like the actual medical category for a procedure does not mean you get to change the name of it.

Abortion means the early termination of a pregnancy before a fetus can live outside the womb - whether spontaneous or medically induced by pill or surgery. Even if that pregnancy was doomed. It is an abortion. This is why miscarriages are labeled abortion in a patient’s file. Ask me how I know.

I am a medical professional. You know exactly what she meant here. Removing a dead fetus is not an elective abortion.
I see women who have had more than 10 elective abortions. I see women who refuse to start prenatal vitamins because "I'm not sure if I'm keeping it. Depends on if the father steps up." This procedure is treated glibly and without the required seriousness. I started my career fully pro-choice but I've seen too much now.[/quote]
Let me guess: these particular patients are low income, with low educational levels and poor future prospects for employment, and do not have stable relationships with committed partners, right? I am saddened by the prospect of women using abortion as after-the-fact birth control 10+ times and refusing prenatal vitamins, but I’m also saddened by the idea that abortion bans might also lead to these women having twice as many children whom they don’t really want and are ill prepared to care for.[/quote]
