    She’s somewhat got a point still
    Democrats have become complacent in letting the repub’s hysteria spread like a bad virus.
    We got no one left to blame but ourselves atp, right?

      No. You’re the exact opposite of right. Also the exact opposite of smart.

        I didn’t claim to be smart, but I’m also not seeing anyone spell out how I’m wrong either.

          At no point is one group accountable for another group’s actions in cases like this.

          How’s that?

          “It’s not my fault for spreading misinformation, hysteria, and making overt moves to oppress others. It’s your fault for not stopping me.”

          Validating and correcting information takes time, research, and evidence. Spewing garbage only requires a mouth and optional amplification.

          Bullshit is impossible to stop this way because it travels faster than the corrections. By the time the crap is addressed, there are people who will still believe it in the face of evidence and in defiance of reality, and in the meantime, six more pieces of bullshit to debunk have popped up.

            Worst of all, the people that need to hear the debunking live in a right-wing media universe where they’ll never hear an honest take on it, or never hear about it at all.

          So, basically you’re saying is that you’re right by default because no one is willing to challenge your opinion? When in reality, it’s easier to just down vote then address such nonsense.

            I don’t think that’s what I’m ‘basically saying’ I was just highlighting that if I’m wrong, no one has made it known to me or others specifically why I’m wrong or on what grounds. This has been a fun experiment to see what insults and downvotes can be hurled over a lot of nothing.

              Trying to put yourself above others by claiming all of this was some sort of elaborate “joke” really is not good look for you.

                Apologies, but we are temporary text passed via electrons–I promise I didn’t intend to position myself above others as a joke. I don’t know who’s worried about how they look on the fediverse, but that would be kinda silly, wouldn’t you agree?

      She’s in the elite ruling class, so she gets to do whatever the fuck she wants with impunity while projecting false accusations onto anyone who fits in the ‘other’ category while her dumbass base of uneducated gerrymandered trolls eats it up.

      SHE needed one. That’s the only reason. The answer was No for everyone else, but Yes for her. Nobody can kill babies but her.

      In all seriousness: it was an ectopic pregnancy, 5 weeks along. Technically legal to perform under Florida law, so in theory it shouldn’t have been a problem to have it done even under current law.

      To be clear, none of this is meant to be an enforcement of that law, any other laws about abortion on the books, or the anti-abortion movement in general. I can absolutely understand providers being skittish about anything even remotely borderline with these laws in place, just trying to get the basic facts into the comments because good arguments are worthless if it’s about incorrect facts

        I can absolutely understand providers being skittish about anything even remotely borderline with these laws in place,

        And that is the whole issue here in a nutshell. Doctors and nurses are putting their careers and freedom on the line just brushing up against these draconian laws. If I were in their shoes I too would be very skittish.

        I’m neither a doctor nor a woman, but can they really draw a line saying this day is in the sixth week and tomorrow is in the seventh? A line that would hold up in court if it had to?

            As I understand it, they are, in away. Many are moving to less draconian states where they can still practice evidence based medicine, or even to other countries.

          If it’s a matter of days you could probably just lie about the timing of your last period. Those weeks are calculated from the date of your last period, not from the date of conception, so as long as you’re the only one who knows your cycle you could probably lie a little bit.

          Which also makes a 5 week deadline more insane than most people realize. Given a steady 4 week cycle, you have 1 week to realize your period is late, schedule and perform an abortion. A lot of people do not have a steady cycle, and those may very well not notice until it’s too late, even if they track their cycle.

    Honestly wish they’d have let her die and made it clear to her it was on behalf of what she fought for. Bitch doesn’t deserve to doom so many women and live despite being a would-be victim of her own evil.

    The mere idea that anyone has to perform a medical procedure on a pregnant woman relating to the pregnancy and hesitates, proves that the law is the issue.

    Someone will undoubtedly try to get a bill passed somewhere that starts labeling any removal of a fetus from a woman as abortion when the medical community is telling you that is not the case. These anti-abortion supporters want woman to get pregnant and stay pregnant. They don’t care if you have medical complications that lead to death. To think they care is just a lost cause.

      Perfectly valid, until one of those that are making the rules and sentencing women to death by pregnancy are suddenly faced with it themselves. Then the hypocrisy starts.

      My friend is a doctor and said that the number of people denying COVID is real while they died in the hospital is… significantly higher than 0.

      It blew my mind that they could literally be hours away from death and still submitted it was a “liberal hoax”. I just…can’t.

    My cousin died of that. I still remember her face in the casket. So unrecognizable due to all the pregnancy bloating. She was such a beautiful woman. Her kids are doing good by her but ectopic pregnancies are nothing to laugh at. You as the pregnant person are given a choice, do you want to stay a live or have the baby. Then you go under. My cousin never woke up. I highly doubt that she would be smiling holding the baby clothes if the baby had died. And she knew of this too late to abort and too early in the pregnancy to not realize she was going to die. Imagine knowing the exact time, place and reason for your death and not actually be able to prevent it.
