In reply to the discussion: Someone Tell This Ohio Legislator You Can't Move Ectopic Pregnancies Into the Uterus [View all]logosoco
(3,208 posts)52. This is sooooo sickening.
As someone who had two ectopic pregnancies (one after several years of trying to get pregnant and the second after two healthy births but before the birth of my third child who only exists because of the skill of the surgeons in saving my Fallopian tubes) this makes me sick as well as VERY angry. Maybe we should have some sort of science competency exam for the people who are making laws about human bodies or the environment.
I would really like to see medical organizations speaking out more strongly about issues like this.
