it also has occured to me that Doctors/nurses/hospitals COULD have put an end to Roe V Wade by simply wearing masks to oppose Roe v Wade thus saving millions of babies lives...but they didn't. Didn't even think of it did they...but they sure used that mask as a reason to force you into wearing one for 'all the children dying FROM covid...which didn't happen. hypocrites. Phony Baloney behaviors which do nothing for actual victims. Ignoring the real problems and making up phony ones.
An idiotic red herring fallacy.
Here are facts and the truth concerning the right’s reckless, irresponsible ‘banning’ of abortion:
‘Several scientific studies in the past two years have noted that abortion bans will likely increase maternal mortality. A University of Colorado study in 2021, for example, found that a total ban on the procedure could increase pregnancy-related deaths up to 21% overall and up to 33% for Black women.
Already, some doctors say the inflammatory nature of the abortion issue has compelled them to provide care they regard as less than optimal.
Dr. Alice Mark, a Massachusetts OB-GYN and medical adviser to the National Abortion Federation, which represents providers of abortion services, said exceptions in state abortion bans are not designed to provide patients with the best medical care.
“These laws are not meant to be clinical guidance about what I can or can’t do,” she said. "They are meant to prevent women from having an abortion.”
In Wisconsin, for example, some clinics already are refusing to use mifepristone to help women pass an early miscarriage because the drug also can be used in medical abortions, said Dr. Amy Domeyer-Klenske, an OB-GYN in Milwaukee who is vice chair of the Wisconsin chapter of the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists.
Without mifepristone, Domeyer-Klenske said, doctors must either wait to see whether a patient passes the miscarriage on her own, or use less effective medications or perform a riskier surgical procedure.
“We are already telling pregnant patients who are suffering a miscarriage: ‘You can’t have the best level of care because of the politics around abortion,’” she said.’
Black women, who are much more likely to die of pregnancy-related causes, are most at risk.
