In the wake of Louisiana’s abortion ban, pregnant women have been given risky, unnecessary surgeries, denied swift treatment for miscarriages and ectopic pregnancies, and forced to wait until their life is at risk before getting an abortion, according to a new report first made available to NPR.
It found doctors are using extreme caution to avoid even the appearance of providing an abortion procedure.
But, I was told that if a woman doesn’t want a pregnancy that her body has “a way of shutting that whole thing down”.
Conservatives sure are smart! Who needs doctors?! Doctors are for liberals!
Seriously, conservatives. Just stop using doctors at all.
I mean. They are not entirely wrong. Severe distress could result in a sponatous abortion.
One patient with an ectopic pregnancy said her care was delayed so long that her fallopian tubes ruptured.
“I could have died,” she said in the report. “I really could have died.”
In another case, Sukhavasi had a patient in her first trimester who came to the hospital bleeding and in pain. The patient wanted an abortion procedure called dilation and curettage, or D&C, which uses suction to empty the contents of the uterus and stop the pain and bleeding.
“I know this pregnancy is not going to make it anywhere near survival. And I was stopped from taking her to the operating room,” Sukhavasi said.
The woman waited for hours while hospital officials decided if her abortion was allowed.
Fucking hell.
By design. And soon there will be no pregnancy care at all because if you or your baby die, fuck you, God wanted it that way.
It’s their fault for being sluts. If they were strong Christian women, God wouldn’t have punished them.
Let nobody tell you that this is some kind of unfortunate side effect. The system works exactly as designed. The cruelty is the point.
I don’t think cruelty is the point of everyone. Sometimes the point is willful ignorance. “Well that’s not what I think an abortion is” or “it’s not about that stuff, it’s about using it as contraceptive” talking about life saving medical intervention.
