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.
I try not to judge, I really do but back in highschool I had a friend who had 7 yes 7 elective abortions. I faded out of her life. I understand where you are coming from pp I get it.
How many pregnancies and births have you endured? You think the stork brings you a nice big bouncing healthy baby? Pregnancy and birth is difficult and bloody and things can go sideways very quickly and they do. Mind your own damn business is very good advice.
Your comment makes zero sense. They had a choice of something called "birth control" instead of 8 abortions.
If you think birth control is important then do not vote for Donald Trump. Do you have a brain or is it just like a pile of mush inside your skull?.
Do you have a brain? He hasn’t proposed banning birth control. He hasn’t proposed banning IVF either. He hasn’t even proposed a nationwide abortion ban. Harris and Democrats are saying those things to frighten women into voting for them. You are too dumb to see it. Harris knows she won’t be able to do anything for abortion rights as President, but she will use it as a wedge issue to scare dumb women like you into voting for her.
+100
I'm genuinely concerned that people are this ignorant AND voting.

What are you on about? I don't think you even know what you're talking about.
Let's review: you said, "You think the stork brings you a nice big bouncing healthy baby?"
After 8 abortions.
I said they could have used birth control.
Now you're talking about Trump who has no ability to do anything about abortion because its at the state level now. Do you know how this works?
There is something really wrong with you. You are very, very confused. Its scary.
Also a question mark then a period after your attempt and failure at insulting me. Holy crap.

This. Republicans have a long documented history of being hostile to birth control as well.
They are NOT "pro life" - they are only pro-pregnancy - and it doesn't matter if it's a bad pregnancy, a fetus with no chance of surviving, a pregnancy that will endanger the mother's life or other things. Those are certainly not things that advance life. Those are not "pro life" things. The only thing that matters to them is the pregnancy.
"Pro life" is a lie. It's never been about "pro life."
If you are pro-birth control, if you care about saving womens' lives, you cannot in good faith vote Republican.
That's not an opinion, it's a statement of fact, backed by decades of Republican history and Republican policy.
Your if-then is an opinion. Yeah I said it.
If you think the Republicans are "pro life", not sure what to tell you...
You don't need to tell me anything actually
Of course. You clearly love living in a world of echo chambers and ignorance. However, in the spirit of goodwill, here's an image to help you feel more comfortable.

Yes, but patients who are diagnosed with sepsis are usually treated immediately, not the next day. The standard of care for sepsis was denied to Amber because of Georgia’s abortion laws. Someone who is pro-life should be very upset that doctors were discouraged from saving her life. A medical panel ruled that her death was preventable, despite her abortion complications. She was denied the standard of care.
Propublica’s own publication acknowledges that there is no evidence that doctors waited because of legal risk, noting that abortion to save the life of the mother is legal: “There is also an exception, included in most bans, to allow abortions “necessary in order to prevent the death of the pregnant woman or the substantial and irreversible physical impairment of a major bodily function.””
“It is not clear from the records available why doctors waited to provide a D&C to Thurman.“
“The committee does not interview doctors involved with the case or ask hospitals to respond to its findings. “
So you are just completely speculating about why the doctors acted as they did when Amber experienced rare but serious complications from an abortion pill.
It is not always black a white whether someone is having a life threatening medical emergency. Doctors do not want to lose their medical licenses, lose their job, or go to jail. They will be hesitant to perform necessary medical procedures or wait too long to perform them when there is a risk that aggressive prosecutors will try to jail them to treating their patients.
This could be same thinking for a medical procedures having nothing to do with pregnancy. If you cannot stand the pressure of making tough medical decisions you cannot be a doctor. Stop scare tactics that are not true.
Wow, you are dim.

Correct. Literally anything that is documented to reduce abortion rates - comprehensive sexual education, birth control options and access, preventative medical care, living wages, paid maternity leave, a strong social safety net - ALL of it is opposed by the Republican Party. They don’t care about life. They care about controlling women and causing us as much misery as possible.
Meanwhile ED drugs are considered beyond reproach. Perhaps the post-menopausal woman would like to live in a world where her husband’s viagra is treated like the GOP treats birth control and abortion. He has to go to a few specific doctors, maybe up to 300 miles away from where he lives. He has to run a gauntlet of protestors who Potted Plant John Roberts says has every right to yell and spit in her husband’s face, you know, under the guise of “counseling.” Then he should have to get an internal ultrasound, just to check and make sure his prostate is okay - stop whining, guys, the wand isn’t that big; you should just relax. He should be counseled on the risks of sex when your body is clearly too old and in too poor of health for an any vigorous activity. Then a 24 hour waiting period. Then he can drive back home where hopefully his pharmacist’s conscience doesn’t agree that the decrepit old husband should be having intercourse that God says he’s too old for.
But it’s not about sex. It’s about the GOP wanting to torture and control women.
This.
Guess what -- I'm pro choice but I actually don't like elective abortion for unwanted pregnancy because I view it as a policy failure. Women should never be in the position of being accidentally pregnant with a pregnancy they don't want -- it's bad for them and it's bad for babies who are born in that situation. So I actually believe in a lot of abortion prevention methods.
Here's what we know prevents abortions: low cost and easy access to birth control and sex ed and teaching boys and girls about sexual consent. Also women who receive good reproductive healthcare generally are less likely to become accidentally pregnant because they are more likely to be informed about how that happens and how to prevent it. And you might think "whatever -- they know." But an alarming number of women believe it is not possible to get pregnant while you are breastfeeding. Guess what you can! Women who are receiving better post-natal care are more likely to be aware of that and therefore less likely to wind up with an unwanted pregnancy while they are still recovering from childbirth.
I never hear Republicans advocating for ANY of those things. Not a single one. If you really don't like abortion that's a no brainer and yet the GOP has no interest.
They are not pro-life. They are anti-woman and anti-choice and anti-information.

Those are certainly not things that advance life. Those are not "pro life" things. The only thing that matters to them is the pregnancy.
"Pro life" is a lie. It's never been about "pro life."
If you are pro-birth control, if you care about saving womens' lives, you cannot in good faith vote Republican.
That's not an opinion, it's a statement of fact, backed by decades of Republican history and Republican policy.
Your if-then is an opinion. Yeah I said it.
If you think the Republicans are "pro life", not sure what to tell you...
You don't need to tell me anything actually

Yes, but patients who are diagnosed with sepsis are usually treated immediately, not the next day. The standard of care for sepsis was denied to Amber because of Georgia’s abortion laws. Someone who is pro-life should be very upset that doctors were discouraged from saving her life. A medical panel ruled that her death was preventable, despite her abortion complications. She was denied the standard of care.
Propublica’s own publication acknowledges that there is no evidence that doctors waited because of legal risk, noting that abortion to save the life of the mother is legal: “There is also an exception, included in most bans, to allow abortions “necessary in order to prevent the death of the pregnant woman or the substantial and irreversible physical impairment of a major bodily function.””
“It is not clear from the records available why doctors waited to provide a D&C to Thurman.“
“The committee does not interview doctors involved with the case or ask hospitals to respond to its findings. “
So you are just completely speculating about why the doctors acted as they did when Amber experienced rare but serious complications from an abortion pill.
It is not always black an white whether someone is having a life threatening medical emergency. Doctors do not want to lose their medical licenses, lose their job, or go to jail. They will be hesitant to perform necessary medical procedures or wait too long to perform them when there is a risk that aggressive prosecutors will try to jail them to treating their patients.

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?
A D&C is not abortion. Managing an etopic pregnancy is not abortion.
Abortion isn't healthcare, despite the new spin.
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.
I try not to judge, I really do but back in highschool I had a friend who had 7 yes 7 elective abortions. I faded out of her life. I understand where you are coming from pp I get it.
How many pregnancies and births have you endured? You think the stork brings you a nice big bouncing healthy baby? Pregnancy and birth is difficult and bloody and things can go sideways very quickly and they do. Mind your own damn business is very good advice.
Your comment makes zero sense. They had a choice of something called "birth control" instead of 8 abortions.
If you think birth control is important then do not vote for Donald Trump. Do you have a brain or is it just like a pile of mush inside your skull?.
