Here's the thing though. When THEY need it, it's ok. They'll just pop over to the next state and nobody back home will ever know. They have absolutely no problem being hypocrites in any aspect of their lives.

US maternal mortality rate:

2016: 17 women per 100,000 births

2024: 19 women per 100,000 births

That is an 11% increase and higher than any year in the 2000-2019 timeframe.

My wife literally had to have all three of those while we were trying to have our twins. She had a double whammy of a rogue ectopic they couldn't find on scans and an empty gestational sac in the uterus that wouldn't pass. They knew there had to be an ectopic somewhere because her hCG levels weren't tracking with what they should be with what they could see on the scans.

So the Catholic hospital we were at gave her multiple courses of methotrexate to make sure they got the ectopic. Multiple scripts for I believe it was Misoprostol to try to pass the miscarriage. But when that didn't work and she showed up to a monitoring appointment with signs of sepsis, they immediately took her in for emergency surgery to remove it.

Then when we finally got our twins we had to do a late term selective termination because the pregnancy was originally quads, one died early enough to be reabsorbed but was conjoined at the umbilical cord to her twin. That twin had a massive stroke during some crucial brain development weeks and we found out at 20 weeks that she had basically no brain and her constant seizures were actively killing the other two and might even cause her to lose the entire pregnancy.

Literally the only option to save the two healthy twins was to terminate that triplet. Abortion is literally the only reason my twins are alive today.

"It's okay. They'll make an exception for me. Because I'm special."

- Republican women

"I thought they'd make an exception for my abortion" sobs woman who voted for the Women Dying of Pregnancy Complications Party.

Republican Women: "Good, keep your legs closed, slut." Wish I was joking.

And the GOP says: "OK, then you die. Sucks to be a woman."

The treatment for an unwanted pregnancy is abortion.

People really dance around this issue, but we simply need to give women access to safe abortions for unwanted pregnancies.

The procedure for a stillbirth removal is an abortion. Often in the third trimester.

Liberals still having trouble conceptualising that MAGA is a death cult that has no issue with policies that kill everyone.

That's the idea, though.

Oh, here's the other time abortion is acceptable to Republican women: when they (or their daughters) fuck some guy that they shouldn't (for whatever reason) and then get pregnant.

You think these fuckfaces give a fuck about their possible future health?

Doesn't affect them until it directly affects them. They won't support it until it directly affects them. Because it never affects enough of them at once, nothing ever changes.

Fermi's Paradox was staring us in the face the whole time.

I'll just never understand how they look at abortion as murder of a human and then commit a genocide against some brown people somewhere else. Literal demons.

This type of argument will never work though because guess what happens to an aborted fetus? They die. They. Die.

Like the discussion can't be around "making abortions illegal means women will die" because those who are behind these kinds of laws would just argue the opposite "making abortions legal means children will die" because they consider life to start earlier than others.

The whole debate is around when a life is considered a life with one side saying it's at conception and with one side saying it's after 18 weeks or so.

(I am pro abortion btw, I am just tired of people thinking they can change anyone's mind with arguments only convincing the already convinced)

Won't work on them unless they're actually in the process of dying.

Conservatives don't care about being warned about things. They only care when those things happen directly to them and they have to actively deal with the consequences.

Remember seeing some pristine examples of this during COVID. Conservatives in the process of dying in the hospital and then start begging for help.

"I'd kill a thousand women!"

"... 'If it means saving one unborn child?' "

"..."

They think it will be just poor women who will die, so they're ok with it.

Ok, so science story time. I’m not a doctor.

The female human’s reproductive tract is somewhat loosey-goosey. There is a direct path between the outside world, through the vagina, through the cervix, through the uterus, through the fallopian tubes and into the female abdomen. Not literally, but figuratively the ovaries “float” in the abdomen, just outside of the entrance to the fallopian tubes.
While discussing this with a doctor once, I asked, “Since the ovaries are not directly connected to the fallopian tubes, when an egg erupts from an ovary, what ensures that the egg enters the fallopian tubes and heads to the uterus?”
She replied, “Not much. Occasionally the egg will stay in the abdominal cavity and implant there.”

So think about that for a second. It’s not uncommon for a human eggs to float into the female abdomen, attach and begin growing. That’s called an “ectopic pregnancy”. If you know enough women who trust you, you’ll likely know at least one who’s had surgery for an ectopic pregnancy.

So think about that for another second. If you know someone who is against abortions, be sure to ask them how they suggest solving ectopic pregnancies.

If they don’t have an answer, consider what it would be like to die from one.

It’s so important to recognize that these aren't just 'debates'—they are real medical emergencies. Using the correct clinical terms helps people understand that we are talking about life-saving healthcare and the safety of patients.
