Another young woman falls victim to GOP abortion laws. RIP

[LAUGHatLEFTISTS]

That's a lie, liar. But who's surprised coming from MAGA who parrots the mindless grunting coming from their orange subhuman ape god.

Orange subhuman ape god = you’re president for the next four years.
Enjoy!

Libs are playing politics with party girl lives

Such is the right's contempt for women.

 

[LAUGHatLEFTISTS]

Reckless, irresponsible abortion bans that jeopardize the health and lives of women, in far too many cases costing women their lives, are among countless examples of Republicans' contempt for sound, responsible governance.

Dem politicians that can’t define what a woman is are incapable of sound, responsible governance.

 

[martybegan]

They are definitely telling you that.

I know their politics, they are also smart enough to know it's a State issue.

They know they don't have to lie to me, I don't throw a hissy fit like you probably do when faced with opposing opinions, even from family and close friends.

 

[LAUGHatLEFTISTS]

Yeah. That’ll bring em back to life

Women are literally dying because of this anti-abortion shit and oh yeah

Infant mortality is rising as well

You’ve been duped again.

 

[martybegan]

Such is the right's contempt for women.

Says the guy that demands men be on women's sports teams and in their private spaces.

Doctors in Texas are afraid to do the right thing.

They can legally do the right thing according to the existing law. What more do you think these doctors want?

https://capitol.texas.gov/tlodocs/87R/billtext/pdf/SB00008F.pdf

.. so according to the critics, this isn't a clear exception to the abortion law?? Are the doctors unable to comprehend "Sections 171.203 and 171.204 do not apply if a physician believes a medical emergency exists that prevents compliance with this subchapter." ???

Dem politicians that can’t define what a woman is are incapable of sound, responsible governance.

And as usual the reprehensible right attempts to defend the indefensible: more government, bigger government at the expense of individual liberty.

Texas woman died after being denied miscarriage care due to abortion ban, report finds

Josseli Barnica died days state passed six-week abortion ban and doctors delayed treatment, ProPublica reports

www.theguardian.com

In the weeks since ProPublica first reported on two Georgia women, Amber Nicole Thurman and Candi Miller, who died after being unable to access legal abortions in their home state, Trump has also largely avoided commenting on their specific cases. However, during a Fox News townhall, the host Harris Faulkner told Trump that Thurman’s family was holding a press call.

“We’ll get better ratings, I promise,” Trump joked. The crowd laughed.

Such is GOP compassion. This shit cant go on.

This is the state of health care, treatments are delayed by months and months, the model of big medicine isn’t working in our country. This happened not because of their shunning her for an abortion but because health care is delayed. I know people that have medical issues waiting 30-60 days before they get an appointment, just the way we are going, much like Canada, Britian. 50 plus women die from abortion procedures every year, there are health risks in medical procedures, anesthesia deaths are around 500 per year.

This is dishonest political journalism that spins. The abortion laws had nothing to do with her poor treatment.

I said nothing of the sort.

It wasn't before. We'll see the level of payback that ensues next week.

They know they don't have to lie to me,

Ok.

I don't throw a hissy fit like you probably do when faced with opposing opinions, even from family and close friends.

Projection.

Meaningless point is meaningless.

Observation.

 

[Zincwarrior]

They don't want to go to jail, lose their license or lose their hospital privileges.

Meaningless point is meaningless.

Observation.

We shall see if it is Meaningless next week.

 

[DStar777]

They don't want to go to jail, lose their license or lose their hospital privileges.

So they think that's what would have happened under the law as written?? Show me.

No, they want to hold their patients hostage over a law they despise, even though they know these procedures are exceptions.

I can't wait.

My only concern is leftist rioting in my city if Trump is declared the winner that night.

Fair enough.


Josseli Barnica was told that it would be a "crime" to intervene in her miscarriage because the fetus still had cardiac activity, despite her 17-week pregnancy already resulting in a miscarriage that was "in progress," according to medical records obtained by ProPublica.

The medical team told Barnica that she had to wait until there was no heartbeat due to Texas' new abortion ban, Barnica's husband told ProPublica.
Meet 18 women who shared heartbreaking pregnancy journeys in post-Roe world

Despite Texas enacting several abortion bans after the U.S. Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade in 2022, it was the first state to restrict the procedure by enacting a law that permitted citizens to sue physicians who provide abortion care after six weeks of pregnancy -- before most women know they are pregnant -- for $10,000.

Anyone who "aided and abetted" an abortion, by actions such as driving a woman to obtain abortion care, could also be sued.

A Texas woman died after the hospital said it would be a crime to intervene in her miscarriage

Josseli Barnica is one of at least two pregnant Texas women who died after doctors delayed emergency care.

www.texastribune.org

Neither had wanted an abortion, but that didn’t matter. Though proponents insist that the laws protect both the life of the fetus and the person carrying it, in practice, doctors have hesitated to provide care under threat of prosecution, prison time and professional ruin.

ProPublica is telling these women’s stories this week, starting with Barnica’s. Her death was “preventable,” according to more than a dozen medical experts who reviewed a summary of her hospital and autopsy records at ProPublica’s request; they called her case “horrific,” “astounding” and “egregious.”

The most important Texas news,
sent weekday mornings.



The doctors involved in Barnica’s care at HCA Houston Healthcare Northwest did not respond to multiple requests for comment on her case. In a statement, HCA Healthcare said “our responsibility is to be in compliance with applicable state and federal laws and regulations” and said that physicians exercise their independent judgment. The company did not respond to a detailed list of questions about Barnica’s care.

Another case:

A pregnant teenager died after trying to get care in three visits to Texas emergency rooms

It took 20 hours and three ER visits before doctors admitted the pregnant 18-year-old to the hospital as her condition worsened. She’s one of at least two women who died under Texas’ abortion ban.

www.texastribune.org

Texas’s abortion ban threatens prison time for interventions that end a fetal heartbeat, whether the pregnancy is wanted or not. It includes exceptions for life-threatening conditions, but still, doctors told ProPublica that confusion and fear about the potential legal repercussions are changing the way their colleagues treat pregnant patients with complications.

In states with abortion bans, such patients are sometimes bounced between hospitals like “hot potatoes,” with health care providers reluctant to participate in treatment that could attract a prosecutor, doctors told ProPublica. In some cases, medical teams are wasting precious time debating legalities and creating documentation, preparing for the possibility that they’ll need to explain their actions to a jury and judge.

Dr. Jodi Abbott, an associate professor of obstetrics and gynecology at Boston University School of Medicine, said patients are left wondering: “Am I being sent home because I really am OK? Or am I being sent home because they’re afraid that the solution to what’s going on with my pregnancy would be ending the pregnancy, and they’re not allowed to do that?”

It includes exceptions for life threatening conditions, it's even admitted to in the article.

This is doctors and hospitals playing politics with people's lives. It's fucking pathetic.

 

[Rawley]

If the foetus is killing the mother then it has to go. At any point. You know thats how normal people think.
Fuck knows what goes on in your head.
You wont even clarify the shitty laws you have already passed.

Perhaps if you actually read the law, which I cited and linked to, you would understand it's quite clear in protecting the life of the mother. But your abortion zealotry clouds any rational thought or reasoning.
