I'm a Fertility Doctor in Texas. It's Getting Bad Here.

Dr. Julian Escobar

They call me “The Baby Maker.”

I am a fertility doctor in Dallas, Texas, and I practice at the opposite spectrum of the abortion debate, I help people become parents. My patients, staff, and colleagues could not be more pro-family, pro-pregnancy, pro-life. That is all we do!

Let me welcome you into a day in my life.

I started the day returning a phone call to a local OB-GYN as I drove to a surgical center to perform a few procedures. She volunteers full-time as director of a conglomerate of clinics that serve indigent patients, and are funded by Christian groups. She wanted me to help her create a protocol to prevent miscarriages in women at risk. She then went on to tell me that their biggest challenge now is caring for women who are getting clandestine abortions or going to other states to have an abortion.

They are returning with infections, bleeding, and pieces of placenta left behind and they are having great difficulty finding practitioners in the Dallas-Fort Worth area to care for these ladies after so much loss and heartache.

I arrived at the surgical center and my first case was a 46-year-old lady desperately trying to conceive via egg donation. She has abnormalities in the uterine cavity, and to correct them I must go through her cervical canal, which was stenosed. To overcome the stricture, we routinely use misoprostol, given in pill form. This medication is also used for gastric ulcers, constipation, and induction of labor. My patient could not use the medication preoperatively, as the pharmacist refused to fill the prescription—something we’re seeing with greater frequency—due to fears that the medication would be used to terminate a pregnancy.

1. If The Majority Of Texas Voters Give A Shit, They'll Elect Beto In November nt

4. So far that doesn't look to be the case.

7. I Agree

But there are plenty of people here who think there's a chance to turn TX blue.

2. Thank you, Jilly and Dr. Julian. Science and rational thinking are not the strong points for many

Texans and many of the rest of us in the USofA.

We are, however, very good at being influenced by media paid for by special interests.

It's hard to combat innate stupidity that is being cascaded with falsehoods.

3. Seems to me that Texas is hopeless

They will never vote for someone with a “D” after their name. How in the world did Ann Richards get elected governor?

6. Clayton Williams' crass joke about rape may have determined that election. nt

5. The rethugs are commiting femicide one woman at a time with their

ancient patriarchal mandates.

8. Sad if voters don't turn out

But that’s why we are where we are.

Easy to fix… if people just voted. That is if we believe most voters are against the state being involved and dictating our lives
