Heartbreaking and maddening. This is on Republicans.
A Texas obstetrician watched as the pregnant woman she was caring for got sicker and sicker.
The woman was 19 weeks pregnant, the fetus too young to survive outside the womb. Her water had broken, an ultrasound showing no amniotic fluid around the baby. In states where abortion is allowed, doctors would offer to terminate the pregnancy, since pregnant women in this situation have a high likelihood of developing an infection and becoming septic, which is a life-threatening emergency.
But in Texas, where strict limitations on abortion took effect more than a year ago, doctors fear criminal and civil prosecution if they offer termination before the mother is on the brink of death.
“Literally, we’ve had to watch patients deteriorate in front of our eyes,” said the doctor, a specialist in high-risk pregnancies who works at a public university.
Since the passage of the Texas laws, some women have been denied abortions even when their lives were in danger and the fetus had fatal birth defects and would die within minutes of birth. Others have been denied abortions even after the fetus had died.
In the past year, the University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center has issued more than 150 news releases detailing advances in the lab, studies conducted by its doctors, awards for its researchers and a new culinary medicine program, among dozens of other topics.
But when five of its doctors published a study – one of the first of its kind – about the effect of abortion bans in real life, the medical center didn’t issue a news release. The research, published in the American Journal of Gynecology, found that at two Texas hospitals, the abortion bans were “associated with significant maternal morbidity.”
CNN reached out to two oncologists at MD Anderson Cancer Center in Houston, one of the largest cancer centers in the US, to ask them about their experiences treating pregnant patients, considering that Texas has had strict abortion limitations for more than a year.
Oncologists have expressed concern that abortion bans could hurt pregnant cancer patients. Pregnant women can’t receive certain cancer tests, and treatments that can harm a fetus, so if abortion is not an option, they sometimes have to delay lifesaving cancer care. As two breast cancer doctors wrote in August in The New England Journal of Medicine, abortion bans “will harm some of our patients” because sometimes, “we cannot offer complete or safe treatment to a pregnant person with a breast cancer diagnosis.”

There's no Constitutional right to a Quadruple bypass either. But can you imagine politicians trying to tell you you can't have one if you and your dr. feel it's warranted? Imagine having to take an ambulance to NC to get one, to possibly save your life?
Forced birthers don’t think women are people so the idea that any other medical services might get rationed or removed entirely is funny to them.
Women aren’t people in the GOP.

I can’t begin to imagine what it must be like to be this insecure and insignificant. Just a hollow shell craving validation.

I'm guessing you have never worked in a hospital or been a pregnant woman. I'm a nurse and have myself birthed four children. There is no black and white when it comes to pregnancy. I welcome you to have some life experience or at the bare minimum, educate yourself on reality.

How many women have already died in the forced birth states? How many 10 year olds are entering their second or third trimesters?

How long until the insurance companies put a stop to this?
A 6 hour ambulance ride is not without costs, or is it?

An entire article about forced birthers’ push to downplay abortion.
“A fundraising proposal and other internal memos prepared by Independent Women’s Voice were obtained by the watchdog group Documented and shared with The Washington Post. They illustrate the fear among conservatives that new restrictions on abortion could hurt the GOP’s chances of retaking control of Congress. They also reflect the quest among conservative groups to develop strategies to neutralize the issue for abortion rights supporters who otherwise lean Republican.
“As we predicted last May, the left has used the Dobbs decision to manufacture through misinformation a War on Women 2.0-playbook, updated from 2012, to drive women away from common-sense conservative positions and no one is effectively countering it,” argues the September proposal, titled “A WINNING STRATEGY.”
Independent Women’s Voice is led by Heather Higgins, an heiress to the Vicks VapoRub fortune, who once touted her group as a tool in the “Republican conservative arsenal” because: “Being branded as neutral but actually having the people who know, know that you’re actually conservative puts us in a unique position.”” https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/2022/10/13/abortion-midterms-independent-womens-voice/
Bring up abortion and the GOP’s plans to strip women of our bodily autonomy. Bring it up everywhere. Bring it up all the time.

Suppose a fetus is conceived in USA but born abroad?
All fetuses are more important than anyone else. The religious tribunal will take up the case again and find for fetal personhood if the GOP wins.
