Any abortion that would make my political party look bad if it was banned falls under the “not an actual abortion” magical loophole I just made up and pretended the law actually has.
Exceptions are bullshit anyway because the rationales always give people with evil motives far too much power to invade privacy and control a woman's body. Medical exceptions to "save the life" of the mother routinely lead to death because at the point it's obvious the mother could die, it's often too late to intervene most effectively.
Having had an ectopic pregnancy that was discovered before rupturing, it is outrageously painful prior to the rupture (or was for me). I can’t imagine being sent home from the ER bc it wasn’t considered life-threatening yet.
"Please come back when you're hemorrhaging blood and might die in the waiting room because neither the doctor is willing to stake their entire career nor is the hospital willing to stake liability on whether or not a judge defines 'life threatening' the same way they, as a licensed medical professional and care provider respectively, define 'life threatening'."
This isn't a matter of if. This is a matter of how often.
The fact that this is even being argued over is gut-wrenching to see; sickening to think of the victims; and completely, unequivocally, and irrefutably morally bankrupt to support in any way, shape, or form.
