of acute-care hospitals nationwide. The directives state that abortion is “never permitted,” barring “a proportionately serious pathological condition of a pregnant woman.” Means’s water broke at eighteen weeks, but she was sent home from a Catholic hospital, Mercy Health Partners, mid-miscarriage—twice—despite excruciating pain and possible infection.
Tennessee’s trigger ban would criminalize abortions “except in extreme cases where it is necessary to prevent death or serious and permanent bodily injury to the mother.” Zahedi asked, “What if this same situation happens then? Do I have to watch the patient bleed to death? Do I have to call a lawyer before I save her life?”
Nikki Zite is an ob-gyn in Knoxville, where an arsonist burned down the local Planned Parenthood clinic on New Year’s Eve. Zite told me about one of her patients, a mother who had a terminal health condition and who elected to have an abortion. “The pregnancy was not going to kill her, but it would accelerate her death,” Zite said.
The maternal-fetal-medicine community “is trying to figure out what comes next,” Zahedi said, but all attempts at planning are wracked with uncertainty. Zahedi hopes that she and her colleagues will be permitted to transfer patients in need of abortion care out of state, but the legal implications of doing so are not yet clear. “And how would that work monetarily? How does it work insurance-wise? It’s not like we’re transferring within a city. We’re talking about multiple states,” she said.
Thanks to SCOTUS and red states competing to pass the most draconian abortion bans, from now on women with complicated pregnancies or underlying health issues will fear for their lives until they safely deliver in states that don’t give exceptions for life of the mother.
Bottom line on the Dobbs decision: 5 theologically informed Justices turned 51% of Americans into second-class citizens by eliminating their bodily and decision-making autonomy. A woman’s uterus is now the property of the state.
So devastating for all concerned
Doctors could decide in solidarity that prostate cancer treatment is against gods will.
SCOTUS “I would rather be a little nobody, then to be an evil somebody.”
It's all over America. I think a civil war is the only way through this one.
Backward, that's what religion will do.
Do no harm. Perhaps she should start with that.
True, but 1 advantage is that doctors’re in such short supply in rural areas that you’d be crazy to prosecute the 1 OB/GYN delivering babies for miles Its a superpower they should take advantage of more A bigger problem is how much of rural health is now run by Catholic systems
The medical licensing board should publicly reassure doctors they will not have their licenses revoked if charges stem from theocratic laws and not real malpractice. They haven’t said much, or maybe it just hasn’t made it through to me, but I want them to speak out.
There's always room in Canada This wouldn't be the 1st time we've offered/given Sanctuary to Americans I'm sure it won't be our last This is who we are Welcome to Canada Bienvenue au Canada
Good
Go see the movie 'Happening', and see for yourself how it was in the past, before Roe v Wade, and how it will be in the future without it.
Girls and women suffer horrifically in theocracies. America is not supposed to be a theocracy. But here we are.
Similar to covid vax right. Weighing your conscious and oath to do no harm against your ability to provide for your family. Rock and a hard place.
Just to be clear, this would happen where exactly if the court has its way?
Living your life each day without Christ Jesus is a risky thing to do for no man knows the time he or she will leave this world or the time Christ Jesus will come! stop waiting for tomorrow before you are willing to Repent make your decision now before it becomes too late 🔥✝️❤️
Money is just a paper created by men that is been used in this world. it shouldn't be what will take your soul that is priceless to hell, 🔥 all the whole money in this world can't buy a single soul turn to Christ Jesus and Repent from your sinful nature be a good person. ❤️✝️🔥
winterjessica This is how protecting abortion at the federal level can become a bipartisan priority. I bet Republican women don't want to die horribly of sepsis either.
winterjessica Who is paying for the bots/trolls that say “ there is no abortion ban”?
winterjessica Unfortunately it took the needless death of savitahalappanavar to galvanise the citizens of Ireland to overturn the almost outright ban on abortions (that in reality had given greater rights to a foetus over it’s mother).
winterjessica But doesn't the SCOTUS draft leaves the abortion decision to the states? So is it really a ban on abortion?
