Somewhat misleading. Women may not be criminalized/penalized for abortions but the 13 states that have banned abortions penalize the provider that facilitates the abortion. So if you are encouraging pregnant women to get medical care, where are you going to find doctors in these states that want to risk their medical license, potential jail time, or fines (specific to Texas)?

[@denisebycapricorn]

Abortion is not medical care for pregnant women

[@Daylynn02]

Thank you for commenting this. Good clarification.

[@morninglobbyenjoyer]

THANK YOU!

[@lavarball1237]

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

[@marianay.7605]

​@@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.

Her “no” answers are misleading. While no one has been charged for miscarriages distinctively, they have been charged and prosecuted for “child endangerment” “homocide” “child neglect” and “abuse of a corpse”. In most of the 200+ cases the prosecution used “fetal personhood” as the argument.

[@SteveBrant55]

I just off the phone with Senator Lankford's office. They told me he is upset that people like Kamala Harris are claiming doctors are being arrested. I told them the problem is doctors ARE AFRAID they will be arrested... because language in the various state bills criminalizes behavior by doctors... and that such language makes them fearful of doing what they know needs to be done. I told them Senator Lankford needs to publicly state that women should ALWAYS get the care they need from doctors ... that doctors should not have to wait until a woman is about to die before giving her the care she needs! I was told that (since I live in Oklahoma) I would get a written response from the Senator.

[@laurie1653]

The problem is that healthcare professionals have become stifled and are concerned about legally doing the wrong thing for giving treatment. No doctor wants to lose their license. I believe treatment has been delayed. I believe women’s health has been compromised by possible legal ramifications. Abortion is often not to end the life of a fetus but to preserve the life of the mother. Having confusion and possibly legal consequences will cost women’s lives

[@MaxSoininen]

TRUMP SAID WOMEN NÈED TO HAVE SOME FORM OF PUNISHMENT ON VIDEO ON YOU TUBE. WHEN ABORTION IS BANNED, WHAT DO YOU THINK WILL HAPPEN TO WOMEN WHO IGNORE THAT LAW?

[@Adrienne-t1s]

This hearing was incredibly misleading. The specific details and impacts of abortion laws vary by state. Some states maintain exceptions for medical emergencies, but healthcare providers have reported challenges in determining exactly when these exceptions apply. Other states have more restrictive laws with limited or no explicit exceptions for medical emergencies.Yes, some states DO have laws that could potentially lead to criminal penalties for those involved in abortions, though the scope and enforcement varies. Historically most prosecutorial focus has been on providers rather than patients. Some states like Texas and Oklahoma implemented systems that allow private citizens to sue anyone who helps someone obtain an abortion. If you listen to the phrasing of his questions, he's not asking the questions that paint a true picture of the landscape of this issue in the United States.

[@dancindee13]

He is not talking about an "Abortion" in the normal tense, he is talking specifically about false information being thrown around social media about ectopic pregnancy, miscarriages and mothers with life threatening medical issues. These spacific issues have been thrown around the internet as no longer available because of "abortion laws" and women think they will now DIE because they are being told they can't get medical treatment and that is 100% false information. .

[@ericaroyster]

The questions sound pretty clear to me. "Are there ANY states..."

[@kritorys514]

​@@ericaroysterYou missed an important part of the conversation there, as the commenter above you very much brought *providers* into the discussion. The criminalization of providers is the thing called out by media so much, and his questions are specificied to women, not providers. That's somewhat disingenuous and very much feels like someone angling for better media sound bites. Quite frankly I can't find a speech quote where Kamala says what he says she did. She did some fear mongereing based on Project 2025, but I can't find a quote where she's making the drastic claim she's being accused of in this clip.

[@StrangeRealityVlog]

Here from Just The Inserts

[@humidity16]

I have a degree in psychology and these questions are carefully worded and purposely misleading. Q1: It's not the women who face prosecution, it's the doctors who perform it and can lose their license. Q2: Criminalizing miscarriage? We're talking about criminalizing abortions. Q3: Again, question should be about abortions, not miscarriages. Q4: Ectopic pregnancy means the fertilized egg has a 0% chance of survival and must be removed. Q5: This question is implied to be about abortion, but not specifically stated. Q6: Same answer to Q5. Q7: Again, it's not about miscarriages, it's about abortions. An abortion is usually a choice, while a miscarriage means the fetus is already dead. Please learn the difference between miscarriage and abortion.

[@tes-o8493]

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.

[@tofuriot1942]

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.

States such as Alabama, Arkansas, Idaho, Indiana, Kentucky, Louisiana, Mississippi, Missouri, North Dakota, Oklahoma, South Dakota, Tennessee, Texas, and West Virginia require the patient to be in active danger for the procedure to happen. This makes it a timing issue. We have to wait for the patient to be in active danger as deemed appropriate before proceeding with the procedure. Otherwise medical practitioners risk their licenses. This is why there is a decrease in the number of doctors being trained in states with abortion bans. This has led to a Ob/Gyn desert. Over 35% of counties are considered maternity care deserts in middle America. This hearing is nowhere close to presenting a comprehensive or accurate picture of what’s actually happening.
