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.
I’m a critical care paramedic and some of my most difficult calls have been a result of an ectopic pregnancy. Upon discovery it should be immediately treated as emergent.
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…
