there's little need for Congress to pass a nationwide abortion ban if Trump decides to make medication abortion unavailable by enforcing the Comstock Act, this LA law is a bad sign

D&C is a medical procedure. This death was needless.
Abortion bans are deadly.
Under Georgia’s Abortion Ban, She Died After Delayed Care — ProPublicaIn her final hours, Amber Nicole Thurman suffered from a grave infection that her suburban Atlanta hospital was well-equipped to treat.
She’d taken abortion pills and encountered a rare complication; she had not expelled all of the fetal tissue from her body. She showed up at Piedmont Henry Hospital in need of a routine procedure to clear it from her uterus, called a dilation and curettage, or D&C.
But just that summer, her state had made performing the procedure a felony, with few exceptions. Any doctor who violated the new Georgia law could be prosecuted and face up to a decade in prison.
Thurman waited in pain in a hospital bed, worried about what would happen to her 6-year-old son, as doctors monitored her infection spreading, her blood pressure sinking and her organs beginning to fail.
It took 20 hours for doctors to finally operate. By then, it was too late.
The otherwise healthy 28-year-old medical assistant, who had her sights set on nursing school, should not have died, an official state committee recently concluded.

there's a deep fear and hatred of women at the bottom of the fetal rights movement

at this point it's been pretty much empirically established that abortion bans kill women, increase infant mortality and empower rapists.
let's not pretend it's about the sanc y of life.
Conservatism is when states force teen girls to have babies in order to qualify for more federal dollars.
Texas's abortion ban is killing mothers
Josseli Barnica Died in Texas After Waiting 40 Hours for Miscarriage Care — ProPublicaJosseli Barnica grieved the news as she lay in a Houston hospital bed on Sept. 3, 2021: The sibling she’d dreamt of giving her daughter would not survive this pregnancy.
The fetus was on the verge of coming out, its head pressed against her dilated cervix; she was 17 weeks pregnant and a miscarriage was “in progress,” doctors noted in hospital records. At that point, they should have offered to speed up the delivery or empty her uterus to stave off a deadly infection, more than a dozen medical experts told ProPublica.
But when Barnica’s husband rushed to her side from his job on a construction site, she relayed what she said the medical team had told her: “They had to wait until there was no heartbeat,” he told ProPublica in Spanish. “It would be a crime to give her an abortion.”
For 40 hours, the anguished 28-year-old mother prayed for doctors to help her get home to her daughter; all the while, her uterus remained exposed to bacteria.
Three days after she delivered, Barnica died of an infection.
Barnica is one of at least two Texas women who ProPublica found lost their lives after doctors delayed treating miscarriages, which fall into a gray area under the state’s strict abortion laws that prohibit doctors from ending the heartbeat of a fetus.
Neither had wanted an abortion, but that didn’t matter. Though proponents insist that the laws protect both the life of the fetus and the person carrying it, in practice, doctors have hesitated to provide care under threat of prosecution, prison time and professional ruin.
Similar referendum lost in FL with 58% voting yes.

AZ approves abortion rights referendum
believing in the legal equality and bodily autonomy of women isn't a death cult imo
FL Amendment 4 got a bigger vote share and nearly as many raw votes as Trump, but failed
Keep making excuses for why your ideology is one of hate, division, and worse, death. you, yours, and all that are just like you bro.![]()

denying standard emergency medical care kills women
Third woman dies under Texas’ abortion ban as doctors use riskier miscarriage treatments - Raw StoryWrapping his wife in a blanket as she mourned the loss of her pregnancy at 11 weeks, Hope Ngumezi wondered why no obstetrician was coming to see her.
Over the course of six hours on June 11, 2023, Porsha Ngumezi had bled so much in the emergency department at Houston Methodist Sugar Land that she’d needed two transfusions. She was anxious to get home to her young sons, but, according to a nurse’s notes, she was still “passing large clots the size of grapefruit.”
Hope dialed his mother, a former physician, who was unequivocal. “You need a D&C,” she told them, referring to dilation and curettage, a common procedure for first-trimester miscarriages and abortions. If a doctor could remove the remaining tissue from her uterus, the bleeding would end.
That has nothing to do with Texas law
