Women with high-risk pregnancies face new reality after Roe v. Wade overturned

[@mayahdoss7050]

I have had 3 miscarriages this year and needed Mifepristone to expel the already dead tissue that wasn't coming out SO THAT WE COULD TRY AGAIN and to protect me from infection or ruining my fertility. Even people who want to have children use these drugs! This is essential medical care!

​@@kyeprice1301some of those things used to treat the affects of a miscarriage are also used to perform an abortion. In fact, the terms miscarriage and abortion have been used interchangeably probably for centuries by actual doctors. Now that it's been left up to the states to decide, we have cases like the young woman in Ohio that had a miscarriage (of a wanted pregnancy) at her home but is now in court because the state wants to call it an abortion.

My great aunt died from sepsis shortly after giving birth in 1925, and my days’ old cousin lost his mother. My mother told me this story growing up and how this doesn’t happen anymore because of improvements in healthcare. All the people who knew my great aunt are dead now, but they would be shocked that procedures developed after her death almost 100 years ago that could have saved her are no longer available today because of politics and ethics.

[@yeahaboutthatthough3656]

@@brainchamber99 You're mistaken. Abortion is a medical procedure performed in emergency rooms and at OBGYN offices in hospitals on patients who had a miscarriage too, not just people who go to Planned Parenthood because they don't want to have a baby. By definition, abortion is the natural or surgical clearing of the womb of fetal remains. This can occur due to a miscarriage when it passes naturally, when a doctor removes a dead fetus, or when a woman chooses not to go through with a pregnancy. It seems you might also be unclear about what pregnancy actually is. A woman remains pregnant even if the fetus dies. Being pregnant with a dead or dying fetus is dangerous for the mother, and the medical treatment for that is abortion. Again, that's not just some dirty Planned Parenthood word. It's a medical procedure that saves lives of women who miscarry. By overturning the right to abortion, you're causing immense suffering for millions of miscarrying women and their families because of your outrageous religious beliefs. You ought to be embarrassed to have caused this much suffering to people who actually wanted to have their babies. Losing your unborn child is hard enough. The mental anguish that comes with being sent home to wait a few weeks for a dead baby to flush out your body is indescribable mental and physical pain. No one deserves that. Christians are the worst.

[@brainchamber99]

@@yeahaboutthatthough3656 You're very incorrect on all of this. "when a woman _chooses_ not to go through with a pregnancy". Choose is the key word. Miscarriages are involuntary. Abortion is a choice. And some mothers, depending on the size of the fetus, will carry a dead one unknowingly. My brother's ex-girlfriend carried a small, petrified fetus in her for around 12 years or so. Only recently did she get it removed. So again, try to equate miscarriage, something involuntary, to abortion, something voluntary, when they don't compare. Save the mother from miscarriage? Yes. Save a mother from accountability by removing her "inconvenience"? No. Let her bear the fruits of her baby labor and live with it. Many responsible mothers do it. Motherhood starts at conception, not when you feel like it. Glad they overturned it.

[@Genie519]

They are at the mercy of the governor who clearly is declaring war on the doctors as well as on the women of the state. I would be shocked if there were more than just a handful of gyob doctors in Texas this time next year. The Texas court declared it was up to the doctor to determine if an abortion was medically needed, but they are at the risk of criminal prosecution if the AG disagrees. And if they decide to not risk their career and prison and the woman dies they can be prosecuted for failing to prevent her death. So doctors in Texas are in great danger and at the whim of the AG who thought that Cox wasn't at a great enough risk.

Instead the White House released a statement in 2009 saying that the administration didn’t feel that it was necessary to pass a comprehensive women’s health bill that guaranteed access to all reproductive healthcare believing that the Supreme Court always upholds precedent in spite of so many stating the contrary.

It wasn’t until numerous women died that they decided it was time. That’s something not a single so called news outlet ever talks about, they never talk to the women who regret terminating their pregnancy, and they never talk about the women who die during the procedures. It is not always a medical issue, if it were such a medical issue then how come they promote abortion up to birth in some places? Those pushing the murder of the unborn are the same folks who refuse to define women, refuse to protect girls and women from biological men taking their spots while claiming a “trans women is a women” which is a flat out lie. They care so much about a women’s right to kill their unborn because it feeds the baby body parts business, it feeds the church of satan and it feeds the depopulation agenda nothing more. Families use to have far more kids then they do now and the USA has been well below just the base line replacement count for decades now. It is stunning how so many can be deceived into killing their own legally. The USA has murdered more unborn babies then any dictator ever did and all disguised as a right.
