Three plaintiffs testified about the trauma they experienced carrying nonviable pregnancies.
Ashley Brandt, a Dallas resident, said she was pregnant with twins but learned one had a fatal condition called acrania. The longer she carried it, the more it jeopardized the survival of her other twin.
oh my god…
I don’t think you can be any more “pro life” than putting 2 other healthy people at risk to save the life of a baby that’s going to die.
Don’t forget many “pro lifers” are in the same demographic as pro death penalty.
Horrible laws written mostly by men against women. Men who will never and have never been affected by what they are prohibiting.
It’s so gross and infuriating.
Even if it did affect them through someone they knew, the people writing the laws can afford to circumvent them. Make no mistake, these people do get abortions banned or not.
Have you SEEN an anti-abortion rally? LOTS of women.
Men are the ones making the laws. And they have no idea about the biology. Take the politician from Ohio for example, who suggested that an ectopic pregnancy should be reimplanted into the uterus.
As a man I find the biology interesting to learn. I’m pretty sure e topic is due to the womb not forming correctly is it not? I’m probably wrong, but atleast I know that its impossible to save an ectopic pregnancy
Not quite, but a good guess anyway. Ectopic pregnancies can happen to anyone.
The uterine (fallopian) tubes are not homolog to the vas deferens. They are actually extensions from the uterus. They are not sealed to the ovaries and simply open up in the abdomonal cavity. They have tentacle like potrusions which try to grab onto eggs released by the ovary. When they fail at their job, the egg ends up somewhere in the abdomonal cavity.
Transplantation is impossible for multiple reasons. One has to do with the placenta not forming inside either. You’d have to sever the supply and expect it to heal before a fetus dies. Another has to do with surgery on pregnant women should be avoided as much as possible. Then there is also the problen of fitting a fetus into the uterus. Imagine trying to fit a frail balloon inside a smaller tougher balloon. Surgery like this could result in the fetus simply not making it through alive. If it did, it could also mess up its own signaling and result in a miscarriage.
Even if all that were possible. The risk to the mother’s health would make it not worth it. Surgical intervention would damage the surrounding tissues. Imagine leaving a fresh suture on a uterus that needs to expand massively within weeks to months.
Thank you for correcting my miss understanding👍️
And the far right are going to claim she’s faking it like the disgusting people they are.
The thing the right fears most is the truth.
My understanding of it (based on discussions with my mom) is that they don’t fear the truth, they fear being wrong, because if they are wrong they then don’t have an answer anymore and it is deeply uncomfortable.
The issue with this is that if you never acknowledge that you may be wrong, you can never learn.
something i recently learned is: you can change your opinion, this literally changed my life. if you feel your opinion is wrong, don’t stick to it. stick to facts and science.
Yes, that is the whole point of the scientific method: you can only prove that something is wrong. It’s can be uncomfortable to realise that all our foundations could be destroyed at any time, but it is the only logical position one can hold.
this is the way.
