I cannot express enough how much I appreciate these women sharing the story of a trauma I could *never* imagine.
They are to be commended and lifted high. These women will, in fact, be the faces of reform!! We should have NEVER allowed it to come to this. I can only pray that all Republican women will consider that this could easily be them!
Did people really think abortions were only for people who didn’t want a pregnancy? My god, the trauma these poor ladies went through and are still going through just because of ignorance.
People still think abortions are about women having casual sex.
Yes that's how people think they're single minded
Women can have abortions even if they choose not have a kid. It is their bodies. A fetus can not live for 9 months outside of women's body. It is only women's choice who is birthed and who is not into this world!
Yep! The perpetual lie told around the nation. Those horrible women just use it for birth control! It is infuriating!
Yessss! Thank u. Someone else who understands my view. No matter y the woman needs or simply chooses to abort it should be their right to do so. *_Absolutely, NO OTHER person should dictate another’s body choices._*
_We allowing ppl to do unnecessary cosmetic surgeries & nothing wrong with them, but yet a woman got to damn near, or be close to death or even her fetus before it’s considered to abort?!_ #Wild
im 53, abortion rights have come and gone in my lifetime... I cannot understand anyone who would force a woman to carry a pregnancy. I just don't get it. and the "exceptions" they claim in the laws don't really exist. When will legislators be held accountable for practicing medicine without a license?????
I am 71 and this why the Roe vs Wade was so important to my generation. Before that women were expendable just like they are now. My heart goes out to these families.
It is terrible that young women have less rights than their mothers and grandmothers 😢
Wow. This is crazy…. So you’re literally watching history repeat it’s self.
We are moving backwards. 🤦🏻♀️
I keep saying every day that history is repeating itself and it is only going to get worse then better.
As I recall the argument was that it would put a stop to child abuse / by forcing women to have kids no one wanted
I appreciate the one man’s honesty but WHY does it only matter AFTER it happens in your life??? You’re ok with other women going through hell until you’re in the situation yourself? I’m glad his mind is changed but damn…
It's stomach churning to hear a human being say they're indifferent to a 12 year old rape victim suffer. No one who believes that should be allowed to step through the doors of any lawmaking body.
Males don't care until it directly affects them. They are clueless and selfish.
It's infuriating that males like him have more right to decide what WE can do with our FEMALE bodies. It is horrifying that he believed and possibly still believes "the unknown female" deserves unbelievable suffering. Males like that guy do not deserve a place on this planet.
If men had to look after the baby the law would be changed yesterday.
@@05lmarsh Of course. Men always center themselves. If they had to birth and raise the children, it would be way different. It's time for women stop centering males. They don't empathize with others, they only care when something affects THEM.
Im glad the men/fathers are there to support and be supported. Men also need to take a stand against the "pregnancy Nazis" and their ridiculous laws against safe and legal abortions.
Indeed. These dictatorial conservatives seem to forget that most women have men who love them and will fight along side them.
They the reasons y their wives/female companions/relatives going through this now bc they didn’t stand against it from the gate. Now some are in a predicament where the life of a woman they love life is at jeopardy. It’s just disgustingly sad that a woman has to get this far to say “Oh now, I understand y pro-choice should’ve been the first choice.” *No man or any other woman* _should dictate another’s choices for their health or whatever their reason is._ *_No one else’s business._*
You are absolutely right. We never really think about that either. We are focused on the women experiencing the negative consequences of the overturning of Roe v. Wade rightfully so but men are also going through something as well. These husbands wanted to be the fathers of these children. These husbands are watching Their wives go through something devastating and traumatizing, while they themselves are being traumatized by the event and how difficult it is that they can’t do anything because of the law and they themselves are devastated that the loss of this pregnancy. It’s almost like a second hand or second-degree trauma experience.we really need to consider that as well and that’s yet on one of the reasons why politicians need to accept the pregnancy does not just affect one woman. It affects a woman and the father of the child who is often her husband and any of her other children and their parents and family, families and friends, community, etc. etc. We all experience it in someway.
Males don't care.
@@p.gizzle90 Males don't care. That's why we need to stay single.
We literally all saw this coming, no one cared though… they still overturned it.
This is a must-watch for all Americans. I wish the entire program was available for everyone to watch.
I cried my eyes out the entire hour. It infuriates me that our nation has allowed the GOP and the "pro-life" moral majority to impose such terror.
I'm all for equal rights for people at th basic levels, but REAL BIOLOGICAL WOMEN have issues men and Trans women don't have. Even with bottom surgery Trans women don't have the female parts. You can argue that some biological women don't have those parts anymore due to surgery etc but they had those parts at one time.
@@snuff2023 We are speaking on the issue of abortion at this time and what they have done to women is absolutely abhorrent! While I am an ally to all marginalized communities, we cannot allow the issues that each community faces to overlap with one another. It blurs the focus that each demographic deserves and distorts the objectives that each seeks to advocate for.
@@becka_boo true but this video is also about the women health. It feels like our rights as women, including this, are being taken away. In this case medical abortion and the right of the mother to live.
@@snuff2023 That is precisely what is happening, at the will of the GOP and the moral majority! As much as we may disagree with one another on various social issues, the nation is very aligned on economic policy. If we can survive 2024, with democracy intact, we will start to REALLY see the winds of change come 2028. Progressive youth will then be the largest voter block and things will change. It will require Americans to mind their own business and allow others to live how they choose without interjecting our opinions but in regards to policies that directly affect our lives, we will see change. Paid family leave, higher wages, healthcare for all with the private option, education policy, affordable housing, etc. All of these policies that we are told are SO progressive are actually favored and supported by two-thirds of the nation, Republicans included.
As a US Army Veteran and Christian, I could never understand how conservitives and christians think they have the right to shove thier beliefs down the throats of others who have different beliefs!! It's not Christ-like behavior!!
It's pretty simple, if your against abortion then don't get or have one! No one is forcing anyone to get an abortion! But stripping that right to away from others who have different beliefs IS WRONG!
We are a nation of many different people with many different types of belief and no one form of belief is superior to anyone else's..just different!! FREEDOM=CHOICE!!
exactly they're not prolife they just care about control
Absolutely, they made a huge fuss about the mask mandates when it was the Covid period. They went beyond by saying it’s people’s bodies and their choices. But all of a sudden, when it’s health care for women, it’s different for them and it’s like…you guys are the biggest hypocrites there is. I’m catholic and I despise people using religion as a weapon of choice for political agendas. Don’t ever use god’s name for your selfish agenda.
*their
*you're against (contraction of "YOU aRE")
your = possessive
Exactly!
100% agree I am conservative AND Christian but I still believe making abortion illegal AGAIN is just plain evil. It's against Christianity to force people to make "the right" decision. This is like the crusades. All in the name of God but has literally nothing to do with God, it's evil thru and thru. It's chasing people further away from God...
I absolutely feel and I am so proud of these women for walking into that room to speak up/sit down together. This is a healthcare crisis not a “want vs don’t want” crisis. These women deserve closure. The way things are now..do not create closure. it creates terror.
We are justified in getting an abortion for any reason. Not wanting to be pregnant is reason enough.
So happy to see men speaking out for the women
These laws are outdated and lead to way way more problems then anything. These poor women. This is awful

@@alvallac2171Thank you so much grammar asshat.
This is disgusting that if it ends up putting the mom's life at legit risk can't just get a very much needed abortion. ABSOLUTELY DISGUSTING!
Watching this in tears 😭 I lost a baby with health issues 😭 and had a choice given to me to either end the pregnancy or the baby would pass away on its own 😢 and the baby did end up passing away at 13 wks😭 I can't imagine not having a choice for my life and my baby 😭🙏 My heart goes out to these women 🙏
Imagine making a law that prohibits doctors from treating their patients
The government already did this to chronic pain patients.
Gender affirming care. I imagine any right minded doctor does not want to go along with that but their hands are tied
I'm so sad I served this disgusting country!!!!! To these women, I am so sorry America is failing you. The freedoms I almost died to provide are now being ripped away from so many because of a select few judgmental hypocrites. 😢😢😢😢😢
i dont understand….This was left to each individual state for voters to decide their leaders at a more local level so they can reflect their wishes as a whole….
@terrodar19 No, the vote is not fairly represented, but enjoy that silly thinking. 😜 "This Is America." (I doubt you'll get that, though.)
@@mommasonthemove9144 so you oppose that they left it to the states to decide. you haven’t explained why this matter cant be voted fairly at a local level. if u got no answer to it then its just pure whining
@terrodar19 Roe V Wade repeal was federal. The electoral college makes the vote. It doesn't represent my vote or any women I know. Unfortunately, clueless men and hypocritical religious nuts are in charge, screwing the rest of us.
@@terrodar19Let me help you understand! Roe v. Wade was the middle ground and should have never been upended! 50 years of precedent, were thrown out the window by a handful of lying, activist justices. Precedent is the prime element of law and what they have done is so very dangerous to all of us. Precedent does not just apply to this issue alone and contraception is next if we do not stand up to the damn extremists.
In Texas, a woman has to actually die from pregnancy complications for our AG to even take notice. Unbelievable!
yet y'all love your republicans n guns.
Sadly, even death will not change this. Deaths are why Roe vs Wade was such a big deal. They KNEW this when they reversed it. They just do not care and, as far as Republican politicians are concerned, women are expendable.
I don't think he would take notice, though, or people like him. They'd just write it off like they do for the lives of children they often ignore.
I’m so sorry for all of these women who are forced to have their unborn children, even when an abortion can SAVE THEIR LIVES! We’re supposed to be the land of the free, not the land of the free for who the government chooses.
To anyone who believes that abortion is wrong, it’s not your body, so you have no say in the matter. You need to have more empathy and think about other people before yourself. Governments have no right to dictate who lives and dies based solely on their beliefs.
But somehow the government is ok with giving $ billions towards wars murdering children?
This is not an accident. Voting is so important so they can’t keep passing laws like this.
And yet I can't help but wonder who these women voted for. We all knew what the previous prez was all about. I guess they thought he was joking. But he did what he said he would do.
Those women may well have voted for Hilary, tho.
I can’t imagine the pain. These women need the health care to help them in this situation. 💕
10:04 - Republican 101 - It's not an issue until it happens to me.
You won't find any women from Washington State there!!! So glad I live here!
Or Colorado. Glad I live here!
We have our own problems with access, especially for a blue state. We've allowed a couple religious hospital chains to take over even previously secular hospitals. Hospital i work for claims to be secular, is owned by a religious chain, and stopped offering abortions/tubals/etc. 40% of our hospital beds are at religious hospitals. Its especially problematic with all of the medical refugees from Idaho. Ive read multiple articles about women having to be driven multiple hours during an emergency because the hospital wouldn't intervene. Its a disgrace.
I'm glad I live here rather than elsewhere but we still have work to do. We can't do it if people assume we have already solved the problem.
I fortunately live in WA State too where a woman's right to full reproductive healthcare and bodily autonomy is still protected, however, there still exists a very real threat to all women. If Republicans take control of Congress and secure the Presidency in the next election cycle there is a very real possibility they will legislate and pass a nation wide abortion ban. And considering how far right the Supreme Court is, if a law like that passes, I'm afraid any challenges brought to the highest court in the nation, would be overturned and the ban would be cemented into law. Resulting in every woman in this country being stripped of her rights no matter which state they live in. It's important to keep that in mind. I realize this is all supposition, but these suppositions are grounded in decades of history and political actions by conservatives that point to their willingness to align themselves with a coalition of ultra religious Christian zealots who have openly stated their goal of banning abortion in exchange for votes and political power. None of us women are free until all of us are free. The battle continues wherever you are.
I did not know that! TY for the information. 👍👍👍
It's delusional to think women want to be in these situations. Even more delusional to think life is this beautiful thing and abortion throws God's babies in the trash. Grow up.
I'm neither for nor against abortions. I had a high risk pregnancy and knew I wasn't healthy enough to have the baby even tho I wanted to, I got the run around. I ended up having a miscarriage. After the fact found out it was an ectopic pregnancy and even if it was viable, I'd be on bed rest for the entire pregnancy. Please give us the information needed and the options so we can make our own decisions. I could have died
Exactly. No one is “pro abortion” - they’re either for or against letting doctors care for their patients without intrusion from the government. Whether someone has an abortion or not, it’s no one else’s business.
@emilychristina3172 Amen
Moving outside of the USA seems better for American women, given these barbaric laws. It is a woman's body and her choice to keep a baby. I would never force a pregnant woman to keep a baby.
If trump wins, I become an immigrant! I am not subjecting myself to what he wishes to impose on our nation!
Im glad i left
I'm watching this in the Middle East. I'm American and my boyfriend is South African. We both agree I would have better care in the Middle East than in America if this ever happened to us.
Costa Rica seems better.
@@annefuller1856 I have been seriously considering it. Where did you settle??
I will never move to a state that restricts abortion
If only all women could afford to leave such hellholes
If a republican gets elected as president, they will put in a federal ban. You won't have a choice then. This is why voting is SO important.
Restrictions or bans abortion? As for me, I will never live in a Red State that has banned abortion.
I tried to explain to my pro-life friends why completely overturning Roe and tossing it all back to the states would ultimately backfire on their movement.
This makes me not want to have children.
Don't have children and don't have sex.
WHO GETS TO DECIDE? Those words were powerful.
Along win the thousands and thousands of extra dollars these families have had to pay because these states won’t allow this
Trump appointed the court who did this....remember that...my daughter has less rights than I did....thank it I live in md
And Republican senators chose to confirm those appointments.
I wish this was forced for any pro-lifer to be seen. Everyone who voted for this HAS to see the consequences of what they asked for.
They aren’t pro-lifers, they’re pro-birthers. They don’t care about the lives of these women
Amen.
What percentage do you believe would just double down on their beliefs?
I'm watching this. Still pro-life because the POINT of the law is to end ALL elective abortions. Your water breaking early and having to be induced, an ectopic pregnancy, etc is not an elective abortion. Doctors have had to navigate laws around abortion in different states for years but as soon as roe v wade gets over turned all of a sudden they just don't know when a women will die or not. Instead of playing Dumb follow the heart of the law- her life is in danger, induce labor.
@@mikaeladonegan2430Roe v Wade was national legal precedent that kept anti abortion laws from going into effect. Once the SCOTUS overturned Roe, all of those laws kicked in. The laws were written so vaguely and are so restrictive that the woman basically has to be actively dying before doctors can provide care. If it was your loved one, would you want the doctors waiting until she was actively dying to start treating her?
This is exactly why 1. The people making laws about things in medicin3 need to be able to understand those laws themselves 2. I dont want to try for anymore children. I have 3 special needs kids, a high functioning teen and 2 toddlers that need LOTS of help. I had a miscarriage about 3 yrs ago in my first trimester. Im afraid of it happening again and my life being threatened. I have to be there for the children i have as long as possible.
It takes a lot of courage to admit they were wrong in their beliefs before it happened to them.
Yes, it does. And it makes me ill that they had so little empathy for others that it required a trauma to gain compassion.
I just heard a conversation at the store was at between some European sounding people and it kind of broke my heart, I guess people just think that we Americans do not care about pregnant people, to the point where they just don't matter at all. I don't know how things are in perth, or wherever that lady was from, but she seemed like ladies there were way better off than they are here...
Wow. As a Canadian this just makes me sick to my stomach. Why are politicians making choices that contradict medicine. What these women have had to endure is just heart breaking
So, the Birth Enforcers are able to recognize the potential for life months down the road in a zygote, but not the potential for death in the near term in a mother from known and treatable conditions? Pro-Life is not the word that comes to mind.
There's nothing pro-life about anti-abortion laws, they are just pro-pregnancy laws with zero regard for the health of the mother or the fetus. These laws leave it up to the judicial system to determine whether a woman's life is at a high enough risk to provide medical care. And as the AG of Texas has shown, even if a judge grants you that permission, there is no guarantee that they won't go ahead with prosecutions anyway.
This is so sad. We have a responsibility to protect women in all stages of life.
No one should have to go through this. This is barbaric.
I am glad the men who had previous beliefs, changed their mind learning about how dangerous and horrific things can become. Nightmare all around.
They should never have held those beliefs in the first place.
This hurts my heart 😢. This country hates women.
We are going to refuse to get married and have children. This sad situation is galvanizing women everywhere.
Do they have death panels deciding when mothers live or die in these states?
There is a price to be paid for this level of cruel and unjustifiable behavior. These politicians are living and thinking in the present, they are blind to the repercussions that will eventually come from this.
Males.are always very short sighted.
We've come to the point that women have to beg the government for mercy, and the government often refuses! Is this the United States of America?
It’s Gilead.
Welp, that man in the blue shirt is exactly the problem with the rest of this country.... He had to suffer to finally be empathetic towards others. How about you just be empathetic in the first place? Why does it only matter when its finally affected you? He literally didnt care if a 12 year old was pregnant by rape?? I'm glad he finally opened his eyes, but its really sad that it had to come to him losing his own child to get to that point.
It's also important to remember that not every woman has a story of trauma....sometimes (most times) a woman gets pregnant and doesn't want to be (for any number of reasons) and wants an abortion. And, yes that's is okay too.
Im a little disgusted by the dad that said he didnt believe a kid that was raped had the right to not carry a rapists kid UNTIL he went through something.
It is unbelievably sad that so many of those people have no empathy for others. They had to survive a trauma to gain compassion.
If I lived in any of those states, I'd be terrified to get pregnant.
this is so important and should be on "regular" tv so we ALL can see it. Not everyone, including me has hulu
It WAS on regular TV last night!! Regular ABC channels. It’s only on Hulu the next day…
So glad I don’t have to worry about pregnancies any more. On demand abortion saved my mental health and sanity.
Something that is not being mentioned but I have been thinking: medical care is extremely expensive in the United States. As you wait for the government to decide if your life is worth saving, I can almost guarantee you are being charged and will be billed for each day of the stay..
A baby is 1 days old old when they are born for a reason… allow women to abort if they want to it’s their health afterall
*day old when
*reason. Allow
*to. It's
*after all.
Hopefully this video gets more views.
I just don’t understand the shock … this is what republicans said they were and are going to do. Listen to them when they speak.
How can some of the most hateful, cheating, dishonest people pretend to be HOLY enough to decide a woman's choice for her? Money and CONTROL! The name of the game.
Praying for healing! So beautiful seeing the men step up! ❤
Poor women
My sister is so anti-abortions, I feel crazy. She wasn't this way before she knew that girl in high school.
Bro, this is nice but I want to report with a legal expert explaining why this wasn’t made into a law back when it was on the books for like 20, 30, 40, 50 years
Wait what?
@@urbanphoenix09 roe v wade got to the Supreme Court in 1973. I want an investigative reporter, and I believe these media companies have the money to go in and summarize each year why we could not come to a decision. And I don’t want the broad strokes I want the in-depth analysis.
Same. Republicans aren't the only ones who lost their wedge issue
Tried to get through this video 3 times. Have a trash can full of tissues. I am praying that they will have healthy pregnancies and healthy children.
If these women vote for the person with the letter next to the name that did this to them, they have lost their minds. I hope they have learned to vote for the people that have their best interest
There’s about 30% of the population who are doing that exact thing right now, but saying WE’RE the ones who are brainwashed.
If you are a Christian you NEED to have compassion and understanding. Being a Christian does not make you a Doctor. God wants us to treat each other with love.
I wish those thick headed republicans would watch this. Why are politicians making laws that should be decided by doctors?!
It's waaay beyond my understanding how things could have turned so disturbingly backwards when it comes to women's health in the US. How can a woman be worth so little? I myself live in Norway, and this would never be a discussion here in 2023.
These laws are leaving women with no choice. Looks like we will have to do a pros and cons list or really think hard on whether or not to have a baby because the laws aren't here to protect women.
If you respect women, vote Blue.
why dosent this have more views
*Why
*doesn't (contraction of "DOES NoT")

I appreciate these men standing up, but why couldn't you have LISTENED earlier?? Is this what we need, tragedy, just to get people to let women and their doctors make the decisions they NEED to?? All the brain-washing by right-wing politics over decades had led to this. That if you're pro-choice, you're pro-murder. You're treated like a pariah unless you COMPLY. It's sickening. And these women suffered and nearly died. Abortion is health care. Whether a person isn't ready, was raped and doesn't want it, is at high risk or has a horrible fetal anomaly, that is NOT for politicians and religious leaders to decide. All that posturing over decades is leading to tragedy. It's so sad to watch these families go through this. I hope that the lawsuit in Texas forces their Supreme Court to overturn their insanely strict abortion law, and that others follow suit.
If she would have died those in charge of the decision should be charged for murder. Protect American women’s health! We have some of the best health care in the world and our women should have full access no matter what.
The Handmaiden’s Tales has come to fruition.
A doctor needs to be sued if they are not willing to at least assist in delivery after your water breaks.
I am so very sad. I wish you all the best. Good luck with your fight.
I am pro life but pro life also means the mother’s lives. How can we put at risk the baby and the mother and if trying to fight for the baby. Do we really think that baby can have a complete life without her mother? There should be exceptions put into place for these abortions. Having an emergency need for a procedure like these women needed should not be deemed an abortion. They are not choosing to have the procedure just to end the pregnancy, this is a life or death situation.
I’m pro choice but I do agree with this, at the end of the day I can’t see politicians being able to put laws down without the knowledge of a doctor.
Keep the decisions between the mother and the doctor. If we want to fight for less abortions then fight for child care support, free contraceptions, earlier and more detailed sex Ed, support for abuse victims and so many other factors. Getting rid of safe abortions doesn’t stop abortions. It just creates more dangerous abortions.
This is disgusting that these women and the ones we are not aware of have to deal with this.
The ancient people on the Supreme Court had no right to overturn Roe vs Wade. I wonder what they would do if it was their daughter or granddaughter. I bet they would find a way to get the health care instead of bring on the brink of death before getting her care.
Their wives and daughters would be getting secret abortions along with their mistresses
I'm so glad I don't live in the States. Medieval care in a Western society. Insanity.
The doctors need to be sued.
Patients should be able to choose what happens to them and deserve the right to give informed consent for any and all treatment!
That just show the idiots who made change the law didn't think about the consequences of the health that women go through risks of dangerous consequences when women lose the chance to carry baby that is not healthy to survive and put the mother at risk of death
They did think of the consequences - followed by God will provide - God doesn't give anyone more than they can handle.
You know what is so fckn’ dangerous about you? That you actually believe that you’re helping. Like in your heart, you believe that. But you refuse to look at the results of your help. ~ Beth Dutton.
I understand where these ladies are coming from. Even though my kids are alive and here today I can tell you at the end of my pregnancy it was scary. I never told my husband this but with our son the day he stopped moving and kicking me is when I got super scared and that was at the hospital. My son was born still, he was not screaming or moving. I laid on that table just thinking and hoping to hear a little sound. When they cleared his airway and he started screaming the whole world lifted off of my shoulders.
The day I went into my ultrasound with my daughter I knew something was wrong because my daughter was not moving as much as she used to. I went in for my stress test and the ultrasound. The tech and the nurse was like don’t pass go don’t stop go right to the hospital. Even though my daughter was born screaming it was a very scary moment because I did not know what was going on they would not tell me. After my daughter was born, I found out she swallowed meconium well in the womb.
It is scary for women now because we don’t know what is going to happen. Abort in Latin means miscarry. So if you have a miscarriage then they will but it in medical terms that your body aborted the baby. Miscarriages can happen anytime during pregnancy. It is scary and sad.
"Dumb and Dumber" is playing out in the halls of Washington D.C.
That was a base ruling in favors of a business transaction-
Thank you both for sharing this important story
Heartbreaking.
Ok, here's what I hope u women hear loud and clear and EVERY LAWYER available in ur states: U NEED TO SUE UR STATES FOR MEDICAL MALPRACTICE & PRACTICING WITHOUT A MEDICAL LICENSE, bc that's essentially what those sick legislators have done + they rendered ur Dr's irrelevant to interpret medical care for u and determined in their UTTER ARROGANCE to themselves be better Dr's when their backgrounds and certifications were not there in the least to assume that responsibility! CALLING ALL LAW SCHOOLS, PLEASE GO AFTER THIS ATTACK ON MEDICAL LICENSES BEFORE THE MADNESS GROWS!!!
This is a bot account...created one year ago. Not a real person.
@@apara2005 u are SO FULL OF CRAP & LIES, I'm a real live, intelligent woman u idiot!
@@apara2005 I suppose u know this because I said something that clearly makes sense, people who try to legislate life and death choices without holding a medical license are routinely sued all over the Nation, it is clearly a definition of unlawful medical malpractice, called practicing medicine without a license or training! Think it thru Mr Wiseguy!
It’s only sad cause all these woman wanted their babies so sad :( I could care less for those that use it to get rid of their “burden”
And you want me to vote red?
This so sad 😞
Can men should start suing the government for emotional trauma because of what their wives and daughters have to go through and the women start suing the hospitals for medical negligence. I would love a lawyer perspective on this. 🙏🙏🙏♥♥ to these families.
Anyone is welcome to sue a hospital, but it's usually the victims of malpractice who file the lawsuits. Or, if the patient dies, their families / spouses can sue on their behalf.
This should never be a decision from a politician, judge or religious entity, but it should be decided by the woman/family and their medically trained physicians! I don’t believe that the people of Texas have voted on this issue so who made Abbot the arbiter of women’s health needs!
How can you not change your mind, or at the very least have empathy and see the need for exceptions to protect women who are pregnant with fetuses/ babies with feral anomalies, that means they will either die in the womb or soon after birth? How can people still not advocate for termination in the case of this? So it's ok to put the lives of pregnant women at risk or allow the babies to be born only to then suffer and die immediately or shortly after birth? It's horrendous. I'm pro choice and think all women should have the choice to have full autonomy over their bodies. Even those that are unsure would surely understand the medical necessity for abortion in the cases like these women?
I live in the UK and was pleased to see that even the Republic of Ireland changed their abortion laws to allow them throughout the country. Up until very, very recently (up until a few years ago), Irish women would 'take a holiday' in the UK, usually main land England to be able to access abortions. There have been similar stories to these women that were a big part of the action behind changing the laws in Ireland for the better for women. I am really sorry to all the women in the US that can't access healthcare in relation to sexual health, suitable advice on termination or how to access it in states it is allowed or just not have the means to access abortions or health advice in general due to costs, time and/ or unable to just drop everything and travel across the country to access an abortion that way. This change in law and the overturning of Roe Vs Wade is so disgusting and I am so sorry that women and families have all been affected by this. It sets a dangerous precedent of what other rights can be overturned in the future.
So you believe and 'speak your truth' that it's rare for women with dangerous pregnancies to be denied care.
Questioning the accuracy of that belief is in NO WAY denying your right to speak. But please go ahead pretend YOUR RIGHTS to speak your mind are in jeopardy when someone says - Sounds like you're not a woman - sounds like you've never had a health scare or Sounds like you've never been pregnant.
Countering an opinion is NOT denying a speaker/poster the right to have that opinion.
Not only do women and their families lose, but so does our system of health care. As suggested, doctors in those states which limit abortion rights will also limit the doctors who are willing to practice in those states; therefore we all loose!!! How tragic is this?
I'd spend money on a ticket to another country for the procedure take place before I paid for a lawyer to fight some goofy decision.
Not everyone has the resources to leave their state, pay for a flight and hotel, and go out of pocket for the procedure when health insurance isn't valid elsewhere. But I think the main reason some do opt for litigation is to change things so that others don't have to endure the same thing, which is commendable.

“I had to go through extreme trauma in order to change my view”
This is horrible. I’m glad that everyone in my family and extended family alone has been able to get a medically necessary abortion without problems minus those who dealt with pro life protestors in the U.S. Almost all were mothers too so the abortion helped them being with their kids and husband. I don’t know what would happen to them had they dealt with strict abortion bans.
Thank god I was born in India, if my life is in danger then I matter more at any point of pregnancy. Religion doesn’t rule over life 🙏
