Abortion is medical care.
https://www.news-leader.com/story/ne...m/10366865002/At 6:30 a.m. on August 2, nearly 18 weeks into her pregnancy, Mylissa Farmer experienced what doctors call a preterm premature rupture of membranes — her water broke before labor, followed by vaginal bleeding, abdominal pressure and cramping.
She went to Freeman Hospital in Joplin, where she'd been just the day before. Everything had been normal then. She and her boyfriend, Matthew McNeill, had already picked out a name for their daughter: Maeve.
But the doctors had devastating news for them on Aug. 2.
If Maeve was delivered right then, chances of survival at 17 weeks and 5 days were zero, according to the assessment and plan section of Farmer's medical records outlining the visit. And the outcome wasn't much better if they tried to hold off on delivery.
The doctors recommended terminating the pregnancy, but 39 days after the state of Missouri banned abortions, that wasn't an option, at least not in Missouri.
A year ago, the hospital could have offered a chance for the couple to say goodbye and hold their daughter, even though they knew she wouldn't survive outside the womb.
Instead, Farmer and McNeill were left to make a series of trips across three states and countless phone calls.
Christo fascist misogynist fascists don't give the tiniest ,
Alito even saying christo fascist SCOTUS6 can't know AND DOESN'T CARE what effects their rulings have, like damaged, dead women for lack of maternal health care.
They DON'T ING CARE
(non-oligarchy) America is ed and un able
Rulings in the next SCOTUS session will even further deeply damage America and Americans,
while the Fed millionaires fire a couple million low wagers and a few 1000 small companies.

https://people.com/health/texas-woma...form-abortion/Amanda continues to face long-term implications from the bacterial infection and is undergoing surgery next week. "The scar tissue in my uterus is so severe that they have to go in to surgically remove it," she says. "And that is a result of the infection that I developed because I had to wait three days to get healthcare."
Mothers are disposable period, but so are their babies after they're born. The lack of concrete support and care for families puts the lie to shrill cries about the sanc y of life.
https://www.npr.org/sections/health-...ths-preventionThe committees are at work in almost 40 states in the U.S. and in the latest and largest compilation of such data, released in September by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, a staggering 84% of pregnancy-related deaths were deemed preventable.
Even more striking to nurse-detectives like Sheffield-Abdullah, is that 53% of the deaths occurred well after women left the hospital, between seven days and a year after delivery.
"We are so baby focused," she says. "Once the baby is here, it's almost like the mother is discarded. Like a Reese's Peanut Butter Cup. The mom is the wrapper, and the baby is the candy. Once you remove the wrapper, you just discard the wrapper. And what we really need to be thinking about is that fourth trimester, that time after the baby is born."
Mental health conditions were the leading underlying cause of maternal deaths between 2017 and 2019, with white and Hispanic women most likely to die from suicide or drug overdose, while cardiac problems were the leading cause of death for Black women. Both conditions occur disproportionately later in the postpartum period, according to the CDC report.
Abortion is uncons utional. If you can't protect life then how can you protect liberty? Therefore, it was the correct decision to make this a state matter.
If abortion is uncons utional it isn't a state matter.
lol taking away women's bodily autonomy and access to medical care, then whining that you're the real victim

Rio Grande Valley abortion clinic bought by anti-abortion pregnancy center
Whole Woman’s Health, which owned the building for nearly two decades,
said they were “duped” after the doctors
who bought the building sold it to the McAllen Pregnancy Center.

Don't worry incels, yall ain't ing no one down anyhow.
^ virgin projection
Tell that to my lady tbh.
You dumbass incels are bigMAD!
That doesn't make any sense. You'd know this if you were sexually active.
Taking away access to appropriate medical care and bodily autonomy for half the country won't be consequence free.

Why a Georgia Judge Roasted Alito’s Decision Overturning Roe v. Wade
Behind the scorching rhetoric lay an important point about precedent and accountability
On Tuesday, Georgia Superior Court Judge Robert C.I. McBurney struck down Georgia’s six-week abortion ban in a thundering decision that, at least for now, restores Georgia residents’ right to choose.
a footnote that assailed the Supreme Court’s 5–4 reversal of Roe v. Wade as the product of “basic math” rather than “some mystical higher wisdom.”
At first glance, this passage might appear to be a gratuitous potshot at the five justices who overturned Roe.
But it is actually crucial to McBurney’s entire cons utional analysis—
as well as his counterintuitive assertion that the state legislature may easily and lawfully reenact the exact law that he just struck down.
they zeroed in on a theory long recognized under Georgia law called the “void ab initio” doctrine.
Under this rule, which is at least 122 years old,
a statute’s cons utionality must be assessed based on “the date of its passage.”
If a statute was uncons utional when signed into law, it is permanently uncons utional and “forever void.”
This principle is not just some technicality;
it is so well established that the Georgia Supreme Court has created special rules for its application when the state adopts a new cons ution.
“At that time—the spring of 2019—everywhere in America, including Georgia,
it was unequivocally uncons utional” to outlaw pre-viability abortions.
That means that the LIFE Act “did not become the law of Georgia when it was enacted and it is not the law of Georgia now.”

Hmm
https://www.nytimes.com/2022/11/19/us/supreme-court-leak-abortion-roe-wade.htmlIn early June 2014, an Ohio couple who were Mr. Schenck’s star donors shared a meal with Justice Alito and his wife, Martha-Ann. A day later, Gayle Wright, one of the pair, contacted Mr. Schenck, according to an email reviewed by The Times. “Rob, if you want some interesting news please call. No emails,” she wrote.
Mr. Schenck said Mrs. Wright told him that the decision would be favorable to Hobby Lobby, and that Justice Alito had written the majority opinion. Three weeks later, that’s exactly what happened.
If men want there to be fewer abortions, they need to take more responsibility for their role in conception.
In her taut, 143-page manifesto, Blair lays out 28 potent, plainspoken supporting arguments calling for greater male responsibility. She begins with simple biology—the fact that “men are 50 times more fertile than women”—making it nonsensical to place “the burden of pregnancy prevention on the person who is fertile for 24 hours a month, instead of the person who is fertile 24 hours a day, every day of their life.”
The author, a pro-choice Mormon mother of six, goes on to contrast the difficulty in accessing and using female contraception (from the pill to the patch, IUDs, and others) with the fact that male birth control—chiefly condoms and vasectomies—is “easier, cheaper, more convenient, safer, and more effective than birth control options for women."
Okay, well, what about men’s birth control? Why aren’t more men getting vasectomies or at the very least using a condom? That’s not a big ask. I could see really clearly that condoms are the opposite of women’s birth control as far as ease, accessibility, affordability, no side effects, no physical exam. You don’t need to wear one if you’re not gonna have sex that day. All the inconveniences just disappear.
You really highlight this disparity: how much of the burden is on women versus men, despite how much easier it is for men to prevent pregnancy—
…And how much more fertile they are! They’re fertile from puberty till death. Forever. Ovulation is completely unpredictable. Even if you have a very regular cycle, there’s a 10-day window where you can ovulate, and yet we are totally focused on trying to control this 12 to 24 hours....
...If someone wants there to be no abortions, great, we actually know how to reduce abortions. It’s not magic. It’s free and easily available birth control. It’s free vasectomies, it’s really excellent, age-appropriate sex ed at every grade level.
https://www.vogue.com/article/ejacul...lair-interview
The anti-abortion movement overturned Roe — and only reduced abortions by 6%
If we examine surveys of Americans who do have abortions, about
three-quarters of them cite an inability to afford another child as among their reasons.
a steady stream of horror stories in conservative states: preteen rape survivors who have to flee across state lines;
women with wanted but totally unviable pregnancies who have to do the same;
people whose pregnancies threaten to kill them but
can’t get care until they are on the brink of death. The list goes on and on.
while abortions have dropped by 12,500 per month in states with new restrictions (or old ones that came into force),
they have increased by 7,140 per month in states without them.
In total, monthly abortions dropped from about 85,000 to about 79,600.

The fascist Christians aren't done, yet
When Repugs control all 3 branches
-- surgery abortion criminalized, including the women
-- medication abortion criminalized
-- contraception criminalized
btw, 30% of US hospitals are now "Catholic" so there of course no abortion until mother is near death (and severely damaged), no tubal ligations, no vasectomies, etc.
Banning abortion will hurt the poor the most, about whom the elitist, millionaire SCOTUS6 doesn't GAFF

Denying women prompt medical care will result in people dying. It has already caused entirely avoidable suffering.
