News Report đ SCOTUS's decision to overturn Roe v. Wade is directly impacting people experiencing miscarriages.

Women with ectopic pregnancies (which are nonviable and life threatening) have been told to go home and wait until they are closer to dying before they can come in and terminate the pregnancy. Which means they can bleed out and die.
Yes. Women will die.

Thing is, if you're well off financially you go to the next state over and get your treatment.
It's similar to how we enforce our drug policy to it only impacts the vulnerable and, more importantly, the ones less likely to vote.

u/500CatsTypingStuff Dec 06 '22
If a woman is pregnant and has complications, especially life threatening, she isnât going to always have the luxury of driving to another state.
I agree that poor women are screwed though

u/seriousbangs Dec 06 '22
A women with a lot of money will have enough prenatal care to know when she needs an abortion most times.
And she won't be sent home without care. Absolute worst case she's admitted to hospital overnight.
It's possible an unlucky, pretty, wealthy and let's face it white women will get caught up in all this. And if she does there's a good chance that'll change the narrative.
But the odds are low. Which is why this works for the Republican party.

I've posted this, satirically, many times:
The Repubvangelicals are more than happy for you to terminate your unwanted children, as long as you wait until full term and poop 'em out. Then you can have fun gettin' rid of 'em with your genuine, Amurrikkkan-made assault rifle.

If a hospital is told via the news what they can and canât do (because politicians spout their intentions on the news before the hospital has a chance to update policy), they canât act
They donât know if what theyâre doing is or will be illegal, risking their license
Frontline staff need freedom to make decisions in the moment. Any hesitance will matter. Any situation not currently dire will be deferred until there is more clarity on the legal front
Edit: politics affects law. Legal uncertainty risks their career theyâve spent decades to build.
And they deal with death every week if not every day. Itâs not so much of a moral quandary because they donât want anyone to die, but accept that many will

The hospital isnât getting legal advice from the news
Theyâre getting legal threats or promises of threats from government officials and the public for doing their job
They donât have the luxury to just ignore everything political and focus only on the lawyers that happen to be around them 24/7 at their beck and call /s.
Surely you saw what happened during the covid lockdowns
Administration broke, staff were left almost stranded in a sea of angry scared people who hated lockdowns and yelled and fought and drove out many experienced frontline staff
The law is not responsive enough for healthcare staff. They have to both make do, and look ahead
When your state governor is promising to make abortion illegal after they succeed in overturning what was considered a protection, you donât wait for the law to change
You stop the practice until the law matters are settled, then you continue if youâre able
You donât continue when youâre informed you might be committing a crime. Thatâs what idiots do

Hospitals have lawyers to advise on what procedures may or may not be legal
And doctors are deciding not to go forth with procedures that may breach new incoming laws
Again, you donât continue with an action when youâre informed it may or will be a crime
The law is not as clear or responsive as you imply. Cases are being worked through RIGHT NOW, while policy is changing RIGHT NOW
Youâre ignoring that thereâs a transition period where legal certainty isnât a thing
No state has made treating ectopic pregnancies even arguably illegal.
Roe v wade wasnât threatened either, and policy/procedures were built with that in mind
Now those protections are gone.
Policy doesnât update overnight, and doctors arenât informed when they show up the next day
Itâs a transition period
During that time⊠well, you wait and hope you donât end your career
Itâs not like a doctor can get those decades back lol
Edit: youâre overlooking the human element rather than just âpoliticsâ
This is their job, and theyâre being told they canât do a thing theyâve always done. Theyâre being threatened by govt, public and staff that agree with the changes
Itâs not like all medical professionals are pro choice and will give abortions.
Itâs a transition period and thereâs no certainty, regardless of what you think the law says at this very monent

Transition phase. You cannot possibly know whatâs going to happen
Youâre adamant in thinking doctors are just being political
Theyâre being careful because thereâs a lot at stake
Show me one state whose abortion laws are not clear whether a doctor will be able to treat an ectopic pregnancy.
Show me one doctor refusing to act because theyâre just being political?
If a law that was passed says you can't eat ice cream on Sunday starting December 12, if you eat ice cream on December 11, you can't be prosecuted for it.
What will you do in response of losing your job? Sue for compensation?
How long will that take?

u/alcimedes Dec 06 '22
I know they have the blanket 'life of the mother' language, but I don't think they address ectopic pregnancies specifically.
in those cases, the issue is technically the life of the mother isn't in danger, until it inevitably ruptures, then it's an immediate danger.
So when can the dr. act? Before the life threatening scenario starts, but which is unavoidable? Or are you legally obligated to wait until her vitals are crashing, then you can start to work?

u/alcimedes Dec 06 '22
Many of them do.
Which ones? I looked at a few and couldn't find any reference to the medical term 'ectopic' in any them. I don't want to waste time trying to find 20+ law texts though, and you seem to be well informed so figure you can point me in the right direction.
When it becomes reasonable, in good faith judgment of the physician based on the facts he knew at the time, that abortion was necessary to prevent death or serious impairment of a bodily function. It is reasonable to believe that an ectopic pregnancy will not fix itself and, if not treated, will either kill the woman or seriously impair her reproductive system. As soon as an ectopic pregnancy is discovered, it can be treated.
that would be wonderful if true, but it's not. Until the mother's life is in imminent danger, they can't start treatment. Multiple laws technically require the tube to burst before a dr. could perform the required abortion without risking being sued and losing their medical license. Since some of these states also allow unaffiliated 3rd parties to sue, you can't even hope the family won't sue and move forward, you have to worry about anyone and everyone in the state.

Isn't that less than a third?
Most laws do not differentiate between a tubal pregnancy vs. regular. it's good that a handful do, but they all should.
First one I looked at (indiana's law) only references ectopic pregnancies as a result of a botched abortion from how it reads. No exception to perform prior to 'life threatening' conditions.

It becomes life threatening, but isn't immediately.
you have lawmakers asking to have dr's move tubal pregnancies to the uterus and you'd be surprised there are laws that don't take ectopic consequences into account?

there were some threads in r/medical school about medical students avoiding residency in areas affected and in r/residency about people completing OB residencies figuring out how to leave the state.
That means all pregnancy related care, including birth if healthy babies, post partun care, will be affected. It means even things that have nothing to do with babies, like reproductive cancer surgeries or hysterectomies for endometriosis will be affected.
At the same time, can you blame the doctors for wanting to practice to the full extent of their skills without losing their license or being forced to deny care they think is necessary?

SCOTUS wants women and girls bred and dead.
They want the "domestic supply of infants" up as well as the death rates of women.
The name of the game is to force women and girls to produce another hopefully desperately poor child to funnel through the school-to-prison pipeline and work for pennies on the hour or to be basically sold off to wealthy parents looking to adopt.
Once the woman or even little girl has added to the domestic supply of infants she can just die, that was all she was ever worth.
This is a war on women.

u/Punderstruck Dec 06 '22

u/fart-atronach Dec 06 '22

u/KrystalWulf Dec 06 '22
Don't forget, they don't even want the kids that are forced into life with the parents unable to care for them. "Adopt them out!" They say. Well, are you going to adopt? "No, we have our own."
0
u/kittenstixx Dec 06 '22
I'm not defending anti-abortion people here but fwiw there is a demand for babies to be adopted, the kids that aren't getting adopted are adolescents, nobody wants "damaged goods" they want a blank canvas, so Christians do overwhelmingly adopt babies, just not any other age groups.

u/altodor Dec 06 '22
For me it's not about whether the demographic statistically is adopting, it's whether the specific individuals advocating for it are.

Warren and AOC both gave a viable suggestion to address emergency cases like this so women at least have immediate access to healthcare until abortion can be codified. Privately funded healthcare clinics could lease federal, non tribal land. There's a fuck ton of it.
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Federal_lands
(1) It wouldn't violate the Hyde Amendment because they would be privately funded and not federally funded. And they could pay to lease the land.
(2) Mobile units, field hospitals, medical tents and vending machines can be utilized ASAP until full-sized facilities can be built. Vending machines don't even need a full-time staff.
(3) Federal law trumps state. And, if this administration really cared about conflicting state vs federal laws then they would've immediately addressed the conflicting federal marijuana laws vs state laws. Marijuana is still federally illegal, and even state licensed dispensaries are still at legal risk because federal law supercedes state. Yet, no one's rushing to fix those conflicting laws.
Leasing federal, non-tribal lands to private healthcare clinics would've at least offered a chance for women in dire situations stuck in states with extremely restrictive bans. It'd be better than going home and sitting in a bathtub as you slowly bleed to death.
One argument The Whitehouse and other Dems made against this was that leasing federal, non-tribal lands to healthcare clinics would result in a big legal battle and numerous lawsuits.
Oh? đ€ You mean like Biden's student loan forgiveness? The one that's getting hit with lawsuit after lawsuit?
I guess loan forgiveness is worth fighting for and women's healthcare is just shit out of luck.
