"This ruling by the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit—one of the most conservative courts in the nation—is a death sentence for women, unequivocally showing disregard for our lives."
Be very clear, if MAGA Republicans win in November they will make the entire country look like Texas.
If you care about #TheFreedomToDecide along with all the other #Freedoms they want to take away, join with the many thousands of people working hard to make sure we elect people ...
It's my observation that cases like these aren't necessarily because "don't treat miscarriages properly" is in the law, but it's because these laws are often vague and the doctors are trying not to brush up against the limits of the law. No doctor wants to go to jail and risk losing their livelihood.
But sooner or later we'll need some courageous doctors to try and treat women in these situations so that at the very least there are clearer legal precedents for these cases.
Quite the opposite. If the baby is dead and/or your life is in significant threat a doctor in an ER is obligated to treat and save you. Not treating (intentionally) a patient whose life is at risk would at a minimum result in a loss of license and at most would result in a voluntary manslaughter charge.
@freemo@black_intellect Maybe? I don’t know as much about biology as say, a woman, but I didn’t see an indication that her blood loss would have cost her life.
Certainly possible, I dont know the extent of the blood loss.
But ectopic pregnancies can, and often do lead to death. At this point you have a dead baby and a noticable risk to the mother. Its really hard to justify treating her as not at risk of death.
It sounded like it. Light vaginal bleeding and pain fromt eh area of the uterus is usually indicative of an ectopic pregnancy. The fact that her pain was extreme and her bleeding wasnt described as light is highly suggestive this was not just an ectopic pregnancy but probably a fairly bad (and risky) case... but without being there its hard to say for sure.
@joeinwynnewood@BobMazatlan@black_intellect Bestill my heart, you said "forced birthers." 🙂 That's what I've always been calling them and have been trying to encourage others to use because nothing about those people has anything to do with being pro life.
