Abortion Access | Real Time with Bill Maher (HBO)

Rep. Katie Porter and Piers Morgan join Bill to discuss the recent rulings around access to the abortion pill mifepristone.

[@gordonakers8247]

In 1958, I was pregnant with twins. They died in my womb at about 5 months. When the doctor found no heartbeat (did not know I carried twins), because they couldn’t perform “an abortion) even with dead babies inside me, I had to carry them for three weeks until my body expelled them, they had already begin to decompose inside me. I could have died because of exposure of dead tissue of sepsis leaving a husband, a five year old and three year old. Honestly “How awful are our politicians.” 😡

The abortion problem is easily solved. All we have to do is harvest and freeze sperm from males, as soon as they are able to produce it, then give them all vasectomies. Sperm harvesting and vasectomies are much safer procedures than abortions, and far less dangerous than pregnancy and childbirth. With my solution, we can eliminate nearly all unwanted pregnancies. It is clearly the best solution; unless men don’t want others telling them what they can do with their own bodies.

[@DebsFan101]

@@Kindisbetter Thanks for mansplaining! Super helpful! 🙄However, your comment is incomplete. In the case of an ectopic pregnancy, yes, methotrexate is often used, not mifepristone. Yay for you. Feeling superior? Now, let’s get into some facts. Nearly 10% of all pregnancies will end in miscarriage, 80% of which are in the first trimester. And while an ectopic pregnancy will likely result in a miscarriage, most miscarriages occur for a number of different reasons. And mifepristone has been used by doctors for 20 years now to help women expel a miscarriage. While it is not the only method, it is one of the more accessible, effective, and safe methods. I am someone who had to undergo surgery when I miscarried, and it was awful. If I could have taken a pill and miscarried at home surrounded by my loved ones, I would have in a second. And I could explain to you the whole host of reasons mifepristone is preferable, but I don’t have time. Now, since you are so interested in facts, I recommend the paper “Medication to Manage Abortion and Miscarriage” published in the National Library of Medicine which explains in great detail how and why mifepristone is critical. I’m not sure why you felt compelled to point out that commenter was wrong. Perhaps it’s because you believe it’s perfectly ok for mifepristone to be banned, and you are certainly entitled to your terrible opinion. But the point this poster was making is not wrong. And you left that part out. We already have a crisis in this country when it comes to access to women’s health. A ban on mifepristone will indeed harm and possibly even cause death.

[@michaelschaefer1904]

It was rushed thru approval by the FDA, one of the most corrupt government agencies controlled by Big Pharma and Big Food/Sugar. They waived normal protocols for minors. This should have been done decades ago. "Safe" is an easily manipulated term with drug stats.

[@AKHill-gj2uy]

Fededal judge's rulings can apply nationwide.

[@coryhoggatt7691]

The answer is that it does not. By law a decision from the bench only applies to the parties before the judge. But judges have assumed the power to apply their rulings outside the case (a power they were never given), and for a federal district court judge they’ve assumed the power to apply their rulings outside their district as well. This usurpation hasn’t been challenged because politicians have been trying from the beginning to get around the limits on their power imposed by the Constitution and this is one way to do that.

[@ronkirk5099]

Family planning is also a law and order issue because long term studies have shown that unwanted, neglected and abused children are more likely to be involved in crime as young adults. A decade or so after Roe v. Wade, there was a significant reduction in crime that was attributed to a woman's right to decide their own family planning and a reduction in unwanted children. Freakonomics did a podcast on this very issue.

To avoid people getting to emotionally invested in the debate (pro or con), we should talk about family planning and contraceptives. The best way to avoid abortions is to give people access to education about how to practice safe sex, how to use contraceptives and make them easily accessible (financially and legally, especially tube tying and the Plan B pill). Less unwanted pregnancies = less abortions and less kids in foster care. Also less poverty and crime. So win for everyone. Ok, can't stop myself to be emotional on the topic. To the self-proclaimed "pro-life", no one is forced to get an abortion. You are against it? Cool, don't do it. But stay the fuck out of the business of people who need it. We don't force you to abort, who are you to force someone to go through a whole pregnancy? What do you know about their circumstances? Their mental and physical health? Their family situation?
