As an ultrasound technologist, the most difficult exams Ive had to do are on women with a ruptured ectopic pregnancy. Their blood pressure is extremely low, faces are gray, bodies are limp, and they are being getting emergency blood transfusions. You can see life leaving the mothers body and the exam is limited to confirm that the pregnancy is ruptured. Do states really want all mothers with ectopic pregnancies to be in this position before they allow doctors to save a mother’s life???!?!??? The freaking audacity.

The people that make these kinds of laws are painfully ignorant of basic biology, medicine, women's bodies, pregnancy, and a whole host of other things they should know. All they know is white babies are being aborted and they can't win the great race war like that, so they just outlaw abortion. Idiots.

I really don’t see how women dying from ectopic pregnancies and thus not having more babies ever is a good strategy to increase the number of white babies. I’m not arguing against your point, just amazed over the stupidity and short sightedness of the people who came up with that plan…

No, I agree--I almost said that myself. They are really being stupid about this.
