She's a pro-life lawyer for the state of Texas, her clients are the state of Texas and various state leadership. If it's not clear, you might say she gets paid to prosecute defendants in abortion cases. This whole interaction seems highly suspicious.

@ Thank you, I saw that after looking into it a bit more. It appears she is testifying alongside the American Association of Pro-Life Obstetricians and Gynecologists. Suspicious indeed. It’s unfortunate that people who want to know the facts must spend time digging for them, while most don’t, as the information simply feeds their rhetoric. And so, the cycle of misinformation continues, fueling ignorance.

Why not adopt one of the thousands of kids already up for adoption now?

​@@melindaelliott2629Have you tried? Almost impossible. The whole foster and adoption system needs a overhaul.

​​@@melindaelliott2629 My cousin and her husband went thru all the classes for fostering to adoption and they couldn't get approved bcuz of medical issues. Not ones that prevent from being able to parent. They gave very strict rules to even be considered. I take a medication for migraine management at Bedtime. Amitrptyline. It'd actually an antidepressant used for Migraine management. Doesn't matter why.. because it's an antidepressant medication..I don't qualify to foster or adopt. If you've ever been on antidepressants... disqualified.

​As for Newborn babies thou. Private adoption stops all those rules. The waiting list to adopt newborns is long so many can find adoptive parents before the child is even born & make it a private adoption.

And if you don’t think these prosecutions and the criminalization of women’s reproductive rights will expand under the coming administration, I have a bridge to sell you.

@@MAYHEMSCO m.kzbin.info/www/bejne/n3nWpZKZZZaNl9E You can also look up the report yourself. Pregnancy Justice has compiled over 200 cases where women were charged with crimes related to their pregnancies. Hope that helps!

You have answered his questions accurately, but you missed the point of his asking the questions. "News" has been spread and people are believing that woman can be prosecuted, and that miscarriages and the removal of ectopic pregnancies are abortions. His questions and their answers are addressing this misinformation.

There's more nuance to it than that. Simplistic dualities of abortion and miscarriage don't work because the laws don't often differentiate enough to have clear interpretations when applied to real world scenarios. You're right though, they've colluded to make these questions and answers as carefully misleading as possible. Women have faced and continue to face prosecution for abortion from zealous prosecutors who are testing the limits of these laws such as in the case of Lizelle Herrera who was arrested and charged with murder for self-inducing an abortion in Texas. Women face prosecution for miscarriages because they're being arrested for "mishandling" of the fetal tissue as in the case of Brittany Watts. Again, her answer might be technically correct, but it's intentionally leaving out that they're being prosecuted for other subsections of the same law. On lifesaving care, no the law often doesn't say that it prohibits lifesaving care of the mother, but it does stipulate it being a felony for anyone involved with providing abortion related services if the women isn't at risk of death for which there's no clear standard or definition. It's medical insanity asking the doctors to contrive on the spot what they each individually think they could defend to a judge or jury for each case. What happens when they guess wrong? It kills women like Amber Thurman and Neveah Crain.

"Are there any states". NO. They would say texas if it was in texas. And they didnt under oath.

Hmmmm wonder who said that!! Ridiculous!! It's one thing that you fall for the lies about abortion...quite the other when presented with facts ...you still believe Kamala's lies!! Kamala and all media outlets that promoted and spread the lies belong in PRISON UNACCEPTABLE

The dems don't want people to.know the truth Please share EVERYWHERE!! THE TRUTH SHALL SET YOU FREE

Abortion is not medical care for pregnant women

Thank you for commenting this. Good clarification.

THANK YOU!

I believe they are covered by EMTALA-the Emergency Medical Treatment and Labor Act. Under EMTALA, hospitals are required to provide emergency care to stabilize patients regardless of their ability to pay or other factors, and this includes pregnant women facing life-threatening conditions. So, if a woman has a pregnancy complication that poses a serious risk to her health, hospital are required to perform an abortion or other life-saving treatment under federal law. Including banned abortion state like Texas since EMTALA is a federal law

​@@lavarball1237 Yes, it should be. In the summer of 2022 when Roe vs Wade was overturned, the Biden administration through the US HHS, provided guidance that abortions in emergency scenarios are covered on EMTALA. However, states are pushing back on this. There are several examples. This is not reassuring to patients or providers involved in an emergency scenario. While you think "an emergency" scenario sounds clear cut, it is not. I'm a health care provider (not ob/gyn) that works in a state that bans abortions. I had a scenario with a young patient waiting for an organ transplant with end stage renal disease and severe type I diabetes that was hospitalized for complications related to both. She found out she was pregnant during the hospitalization. A pregnancy would have been extremely high risk for her but it did not put her in immediate "danger." In this scenario, I believe an abortion is appropriate (& what the patient & her partner wanted due to how sick she was). EMTALA could not be used as justification in this case because she too early in pregnancy for it to be medically affecting her. She would have had to wait until she was further along & it began affecting her organ systems. This just doesn't make sense to me. No ob/gyn in the above scenario should be fearful about losing their license, fines or jail time for making a decision that was best for the patient.

Omg thinking the same thing! I'm very conflicted on this topic but Republican and of course voted Trump. But unlike many, I never want to share any false info or narratives.

Truth Serum , a lot of people don’t have the stomach for it

Did you just ask if an attorney in a specific state doesn't know what the laws are? 😂 You people really will grasp at straws to hear what you wanna hear. You just got facts. Either you can accept them or you can pretend you didn't hear them.

That’s what I’m wondering too

Lying about the legal ramifications like the Harris campaign did is far more likely to harm women.

Please link to examples of this happening. The only one someone would provide me is one case in texas that had nothing to do with abortion. The woman, who tragically died, did not want an abortion, but had a medical complication at around 6 months pregnant. She was misdiagnosed and died as a result, with her loved ones suing for malpractice. If you have geniuine examples of this happening I'm interested.

Zero excuses for Doctors being uninformed!!! A simple search gives you that answer!! They were promoting their own agenda Fear mongering and spreading blatant lies and false information The should be prosecuted to the full extent of the law and lose their license to practice!! ZERO EXCUSE FOR THIS

They don't have any examples Kamala lied to every American citizen to promote fear and her own twisted agenda!! It was all lies A simple search will give you the answers She belongs in prison!! All media outlets that spread these lies shogo with her ZERO EXCUSE FOR THIS!!

Hospitals employ lawyers that can provide clarity to doctors and this is something they do in trainings.
