[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This is doctor malpractice. The baby’s head was already exiting the cervix and she needed medicine to speed up the delivery. It’s not even about abortion which is allowed under Texas law for a “medical emergency” anyway, she was in the middle of a miscarriage that they allowed to go on too long.  [/quote]

But the heart hadn't stopped beating and under Texas law that was the relevant part.

You see, if you think that doctors should be able to exercise reasonable judgment, then you should advocate for laws that allow doctors to do just that. Because these doctors certainly did not want this woman to die, and they also didn't want to go to jail - and they chose the latter over the former.

THAT is the system that Texas Republicans have in place, thanks to Donald Trump - serial rapist, payer of many abortions.

These are not reasonable laws. You can talk out both sides of your mouth trying to insist they are. But this woman is dead. I think her argument is more persuasive.[/quote]

[b]Speeding up delivery is not an abortion, for one. [/b]She was already delivering the child.

In addition, Texas law allows for abortions in a “medical emergency” so again, this is doctor malpractice.[/quote]

The fetus was 17 weeks old with a heartbeat. The doctors believed she was miscarrying, but the fetus was still alive. What if there had been a miracle? A doctor intervening guarantees the woman aborts the baby. What’s the medical code on that? Is it classified as a miscarriage if it happens naturally, but an abortion as soon as a medication is introduced to expel the fetus?

It’s just so shortsighted to see these government forced situations as black/white decisions. The doctors are over a barrel while the state of Texas and the Christian right are willing to bet a woman’s life on a miracle. [/quote]

It's not hard. It's a medical decision. not a legal one. [/quote]

I agree that these are all medical decisions and not legal ones, but the State of Texas has created a legal quagmire for the medical profession around abortion and you don’t see how these legalities are interfering with treatment? Ken Paxton threatened hospitals with LEGAL action after a judge GRANTED (both legal processes by the way, and not medical ones) a TX woman an abortion yet you refuse to acknowledged the difficulties for doctors. You are so blinded it’s hopeless.
