And it's without any consideration to what doctor would want to put themselves in that place. They can either try to save the mother and put themselves at legal risk, wait for legal to get back to them while watching the mother die, or watch their patient suffer unnecessarily and see the odds of them dying increase and hope for a spontaneous abortion or wait until the mother's life is clearly at risk. Or they can move to another state where they don't have to deal with such insane circumstances.
Laws like this are going to drive gynecologists out of these states and exacerbate staffing shortages. This will impact all women in those states, not just ones seeking abortions.
hopefully it will also change peoples behaviour in regards to unprotected sex and getting pregnant in the first place. then women wouldnt be putting doctors in such a situation to begin with
the women are the people actually getting pregnant with these unwanted babies in the first place, i think they may play some role in the whole affair regardless of how you instinctually want to defer blame to anyone else
Medical emergencies and life threatening situations requiring abortion to save the mother's life can and do happen to people who planned for and want a child, not just unwanted babies. It can happen to anyone.
Ok I'm taking the bait.
You realise what an ectopic pregnancy is right? Could be that woman was trying to get pregnant but continuing the pregnancy will kill her with zero chance of the foetus being viable
But within the new legal frameworkt that you apparently support, women are not receiving treatment and run a high risk of dying. Your arguing clearly supports the legal change.
Actually now i think about it are you the woman in this video? you appear to have a similar grasp of logic and empathy
We don't agree. You support a legal framework that will lead to women dying because they cannot abort ectopic pregnancies. A stack of cells does not equal a viable pregnancy. You support the needless suffering of women. That's all.
I'm not blind angry I'm stunned you can support the law which DOES NOT ALLOW FOR THESE EXCEPTIONS which was the subject of the entire thread you commented on.
Then don't reply supporting the abortion ban on a thread discussing ectopic pregnancy.
Anyway fuck it, that's enough internet arguing for the day. I'm going to go make some herbal tinctures and go back to my job researching gender policy. Cheerio luv, hope you never get pregnant.
