Sorry that people have to endure this moment of stupidity in our American politics, but I think it is still correctable.

Never forget the long long history of the Church. Waging wars against non-Christians, torture, murder, burned at the stake, subjection of women. Not a pretty history.

But putting yourself in the doctor's shoes, do you want to risk your license, your livelihood, and your freedom by employing the best medical practice? This isn't about practicing medicine anymore, it's about scoring political points. And if the forces of repression can claim some doctors' licenses along with the women they're consigning to death, so much the better in their demented world.

Once we take back the power from these blood-gargling psychopaths and restore women's bodily autonomy, we can sort out some of the more egregious miscreants. But the doctors who lose their licenses are still going to be unable to practice medicine without a general amnesty, and that could take years.

they are never actually responsible for laws that they pass or in this case influence and they don't really care, because most of them can use some blood money to buy their way out of anything.

otherwise she was risking sepsis, septic shock, and death had she been forced to go on with her pregnancy

THIS is why ignorant and arrogant men should not be practicing medicine via punitive laws. They're really, really bad at it.

:"At least she was able to travel"

This is a nightmare and the only way it ends is to vote.

Traveling from LA to NY is a long way and likely cost quite a bit.

I'm glad she was able to afford to go and I hope she is doing okay.

Abortions after the first trimester happen only for the most tragic of reasons.

Religious nutters just don't get that and never will. We need to eliminate them from government so they don't cause more damage. They have such a low opinion of women that they think we'll abort in the ninth month because we'd rather go on a cruise or that our due date conflicts with a hair appointment.

Dobbs was a mistake. This a lot more than just not wearing protection during sex and not wanting to have a baby because of it.
