Sally Field shared the story of going to Tijuana for illegal abortion when she was 17. https://www.instagram.com/sallyfield/reel/DAymdM8udzI/
Attorneys general of three states have sued FDA to block access to medication abortion for young women. They say states have compelling interest in teens giving birth. Births have not significantly increased since abortion was outlawed because young woman still have access to abortion medication. They claim smaller population means less representation and resources for their states, hence state interest in forced birth. Not making this up.
Seems like they should sue the border patrol to stop interdiction efforts, then. More immigrants would increase the population. barfo
A Florida mother of two had to race to save her life. Pregnant with her third child, the fetus, instead of growing in the uterus normally, had attached to a scar from a previous Caesarean section. The fetus was not viable. When it started growing, the woman's uterus would rupture, causing hemorrhage, putting her life in danger. She was six weeks and three days pregnant. Florida bans abortion after six weeks. The law pretends to have exception for woman's life. When her doctor tried to get permission to terminate the pregnancy, the medical director said no. Because there was still a heartbeat, she would have to wait until uterus ruptured so she would be in immediate danger. Doctor warned flying could accelerate possiblity of rupture, so her husband drove her and her children breakneck speed to New York. She got there in time to save her life. What about women without the resources to travel out of state?

The internet, despite being the place where I met the love of my life, was a mistake and will be the undoing of our civilization. The Butlerian Jihad was right.
Texas woman died due to abortion ban. She was 17 weeks pregnant with her wanted second child when she began to miscarry. The fetus was not expelled. For 40 hours, with her husband, she begged for help, her uterus exposed. Because fetus still had heartbeat, it was a crime to remove it even with no chance of survival. Three days after fetus finally was expelled, she died of infection.
A young South Carolina woman spent 22 days in jail after a miscarriage. The woman was not yet aware she was pregnant until she miscarried. Although unusual, some women do continue menstrual cycles during pregnancy. She was charged with not preventing loss of pregnancy. Finally, an autopsy showed fetus died of natural causes due to an unrelated medical condition. This could have been done day one.
A Texas teen died after going to three emergency rooms. Her mother took her to ER with high fever and vomiting. They said strep and sent her home, ignoring her cramps and bleeding. Her fever continued to spike. Her mother took her to a second ER, crying in pain, too weak to walk. They said her pregnancy had become septic. Her mother pleaded for somebody to help her daughter, but since the fetus had a heartbeat they could not terminate the pregnancy. They sent her home. By the time her mother brought her to a third ER she was turning blue and blood pressure plummeting. They said she was in septic shock. She died a few hours later. The fetus also died.
More information on the teen who died. When she arrived at third ER, she was not only going into organ failure, she was also beginning to miscarry. But instead of immediate emergency treatment, hospital performed two ultrasounds to determine the fetus had died before treating her. By which time it was too late. Her mother said both she and her daughter were "pro life", her words. Which is why her teen daughter decided to carry unplanned pregnancy. They didn't plan on her dying.
Idaho woman was having a miscarriage. It took 19 days to expel the fetus. Standard medical procedure is dilation and curettage, commonly known as D & C. Which is illegal in Idaho. So she was left in agony for 19 days without assistance. By the time the fetus was expelled, she developed an incurable heart condition.
Now THAT is funny shit. Hoisted in their own petard. But of course they'll find some typical (and hypocritical) Republicant excuse to weasel out. I'm wondering if something like this isn't a foreshadowing of what is coming down the tracks. All the burn it down bullshit they're trying to do in such rush will hopefully come back to bite them in the ass, similar to the Wyoming example. Destroy in haste, repent at leisure......They have already made it clear that they aren't exactly deep thinkers.....
