At least two women in Georgia died after they couldn’t access legal abortions and timely medical care in their state

[candycorn]

Regina and Ashley reported the rape to law enforcement -- which should have allowed her to get abortion care in the state.

Mississippi's strict abortion ban has narrow exceptions for cases of rape and to save the life of the mother, but -- caught in the confusion caused by a web of conflicting laws -- Regina says she was unaware her daughter could have qualified for an abortion in Mississippi under the exception. Mississippi has several conflicting laws and even experts, doctors and patients are having a hard time navigating them

Regina said when she asked about their options, Dr. Balthrop told her the closest abortion clinic was in Chicago -- with Mississippi boxed in by states with bans in place.

Sadly the bottom line is that because Donald Trump was elected, two women who would be alive today are dead.

Why anyone would want to repeat that mistake again is beyond me.

Repubicans are not Pro Life. Women are dying because fundamentalist nutjobs are denying women access to life saving care. Here is an example.

Abortion Bans Have Delayed Emergency Medical Care. In Georgia, Experts Say This Mother’s Death Was Preventable.​

In 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.

This is what Trump has done. This is a result of his supreme court. They tell us they are pro life, but we see a gravestone here that did not have to be made because of people who claim to be pro life.

Trump did that.

Add one from Texas.

Plus the states 56% increase in maternity death for women.

But amid confusion over what abortion care is allowed in Mississippi, Regina says she was unaware Ashley qualified for an abortion in Mississippi under the law's exception for cases of rape. Yet, even if she was aware, it's unlikely Ashley would have been able to get an abortion in Mississippi; with heavy restrictions in effect and the high penalties on physicians who violate the abortion ban, it is unlikely she would have found a doctor willing to perform a procedure.

Ashley, now 13 years old, is the mother of an 8-month-old baby boy nicknamed Peanut.

Cool OPINION. The FACT is the law excluded rape and incest from the ban.

I know it hurts your feels, but let’s ask the lil parasite in a decade or so if he/she is happy they found some stupid doctor that didn’t kill it.

If I was grandma, I’d have the moron Dr. in front of a judge getting child support for his fuck up.

And how many “parasites” are alive because of it.

Rooting against life is an ugly look.
