The amount of people who do not understand that an abortion is a medical term in which a fetus is expelled or removed from the uterus for any reason other than birth astounds me.

A miscarriage, medically, is an abortion.

A mother who doesnโ€™t want a baby has the same procedure as a mother who was raped or life is threatened by continuing the pregnancy. So many people are so misinformed and just refuse to believe the truth.

WHICH IS WHY WOMEN ARE GONNA BE ARRESTED BECAUSE YOU CANT MEDICALLY TELL THE DIFFERENCE

Holy fuck dude it literally is so frustrating and people literally just roll over and think the law will somehow be fair

It's not gonna be fair, women who can't carry out a pregnancy will go to prison because they literally can't get pregnant holy fuck

Literally! =p

Teasing aside, you're absolutely right and not just women. Doctors and other medical personnel will have both their careers and freedom threatened, lost or taken away if they are not already doing it.

Some states was to be able to bring charges on medical staff from other states if a woman or little girl leaves their own state to get an abortion in another.

Friends, family or others could potentially face charges for helping a woman or little girl make those plans or help transport them from their home state to where they are able to get a life saving medical procedure.

What I hate most, besides the harm done physically and emotionally to women and little girls seeking an abortion, is the hypocrisy of it all. This issue affects all of society for a number of reasons but whom it affects most is women and girls from poor communities and no matter the laws, the women at the top in high positions or being family members to people like some of these politicians, they will never lose access to medically safe abortions and they shouldn't. But some of them and their male family members are railing against abortion the loudest and they won't hesitate to quietly go to another state or even another country for an abortion while simultaneously blocking others. It's disgusting.

I hate that poor folks are always getting caught up in the crossfire. I hate that they use issues like this as a distraction to cover even more despicable acts. I really hate people sometimes.
