Thank you for taking the time to make a video about this! Updates in the law about access to health care can go unrecognized so I appreciate you taking the time to explain!
The Republicans are still intending to ban all birth control next year by reversing the 1965 Griswold V Connecticut decision. On the same grounds, they reversed Roe.
If you want to learn more about the medical facts about abortion, NOT just the political talking points, I have an entire chapter about it in my book, IT'S NOT HYSTERIA! 📚 us.macmillan.com/books/9781250894151/itsnothysteria UK / Commonwealth version: www.penguin.co.uk/books/455657/its-not-hysteria-by-tang-dr-karen/9780241633816
@@edwardjohnson4172 If you are against dying babies I'd highly recommend working towards a health care system where all pregant women have free/avordable access to prenatal medical care. The US has the highest maternal mortality of any developed country which is obviously related to a higher newborn mortality/stillborn rate to the degree that pregnant foreigners are warned against travelling to the US because of poor care there. ❤
Access to safe abortion is far from secure. I'm not an attorney or legal expert, but here are the bullet points: * MOST abortions in the US are currently medical abortions using mifepristone. * Mifepristone ALSO used for the treatment of miscarriage, as is misoprostol, the other medication often used in conjunction with mife. * @acog_org and all the major medical societies have opposed political interference in FDA regulation of medications. Decisions about medication safety and regulation should be a scientific one that is free of partisan influence, which would be unethical in the extreme. Imagine if a lawmaker who "didn't believe in" chemotherapy, diabetes medication, Viagra (!) could prevent *everyone* in the country from accessing them. 😳 * This SCOTUS decision was decided based on standing: these particular anti-abortion doctors don't actually prescribe mife, they're not being harmed by it, so they have no standing to bring a suit. But access to mife is not actually protected from other attacks, such as... * Invocation of the Comstock Act from the 1870's, which bans the mailing and dissemination of "lewd" materials such as birth control and p0rnography. 😳 Conservatives have called for its enforcement to ban mifepristone, and Trump has not confirmed what he plans to do RE Comstock. * The Commissioner who leads the FDA is a position appointed by the President. Leadership within the FDA itself could change with a new administration. So PLEASE stay up to date on these issues, and VOTE! 🗳✔️ News articles: NPR, Associated Press, CNN, PBS
“Safe”? There’s nothing safe about getting these in the mail and doing it alone at your house without a physician ever setting eyes on you or even dating your pregnancy. - signed someone who’s hemorrhaged at home during first trimester pregnancies
Calling any abortion "safe" misleads women and that misinformation affects people's perception of how "harmless" having an abortion is. You're just hurting people, but I assume that doesn't matter to you and the partisan defense of anything involving abortion is more important than making sure people are informed of what could happen. No abortions are safe.
You are wrong all legal abortions are medical. That is not the issue. Most abortion are elective. Meaning the baby is killed cause it's unwanted or some kind of hindrance to a parents lifestyle.
I find it interesting that i’m hearing lots about “bad” things the supreme court did (like overturning Chevron deference) but this is my first time hearing about something “good” 🤔 Btw this comment is meant to criticize major websites’ algorithms and/or news media, *not* you
Mayo Clinic says anxiety is a possible, but uncommon mifepristone side effect. But, the alternative - 9 months of unwanted/non-viable pregnancy, labor (not a cakewalk), and possibly even parenting an unwanted child - can be psychologically devastating, so it’s important to think of the trade-off.
Sad part is everyone's up in arms over abortion pills and abortion.how about accountability use condoms birth control or abstinence? Oh that means you have to actually do something. Sad you don't mind killing a baby because of your poor decision making ability. Teach people accountability and responsibility we would t have to fight over this crap!!!!!
That's cute, but they are trying to reduce access to those other things you mentioned and sometimes you wanted the baby but you find out it won't survive or you get raped and the rapist doesn't do you the courtesy of putting on a condom.
Condoms can fail, even birth control isn't 100% reliable. And nobody should be forced to be pregnant when they don't want to be. It does put enormous strain on the body even when you have a good pregnancy experience. So of course people are up in arms over abortions, they're literally vital healthcare. Sad you don't mind risking the mother's health or life because of your ignorance. Teach people to mind their own damn business and we wouldn't have to fight over this crap!!!!!
you mean like how sex ed in republican-led states is about only teaching absitence which doesn't fucking work and just leads to teens having more sex? Good thinking there. Why don't you take accountability and actually read studies about how to prevent abortions from having. Which is extensive sex-ed education, safe and easy access to medical centres where people can access healthcare.
Sad part *actually* is, the same people who oppose abortion often want to limit access to contraception availability and education. There have been cases of Christian Fundamentalist pharmacy employees refusing to honor birth control prescriptions due to the pharmacy employee’s religious views. Not the abortion pill or Plan B, but “Plan A,” birth control. These people want to restrict abortion, but they also want to restrict methods of preventing pregnancy. Sounds like they just want people to not have PIV sex… …but… telling people “Don’t have sex” or even “Don’t do (one specific sex act)” _never_ works. Just look at what happened back when HIV - which can be _sexually_ transmitted - was a certain death sentence. People still had unprotected sex. You can’t stop people from having sex. It won’t work. People will have sex anyway.
Too bad many of the same people who want to ban Plan B also want to limit access and education for “Plan A’s.” (& telling people “Just don’t have sex!” has _never_ worked)
Only if you're not accountable. Look how well you take care of your phones! Please vote for a pill instead of making yourself accountable. You might not be able to afford anything but at least women rights are up front in case you need to be selfish.
@user-kl2eo7lm7m Republicans want to take away a woman's right to birth control, too. Justice Alito has already stated that the 1965 Griswold V Connecticut decision that granted the right to birth control for married couples can be overturned on the same grounds as Roe.
Why? Are people going to throw out the democrats because they love to run on the issue but never do anything to fix it. Or are people going to throw out the republicans because they love to run on the issue but then never do anything change it? I don't care if you are for or against anything, the big issues like this are always "decided by the election" and then never changed. People need to stop voting for party lines and start actually looking into the people you are voting for and deciding if they themselves seem like someone that would fight for your "issues" and then hold them accountable if they don't.
@DespairKarma , your comment has nothing to do with the conversation and does nothing but distract from the issue of most women using abortion to deal with a problem they could have avoided by being better then their primal instinct
@@DespairKarma It is. Many people in our communities have these problems and are covered by insurance or Medicaid sooooooooo....why the explanation of MAKE SURE YOU VOTE FOR LEFTISTS!!!

RIGHT WING PEOPLE AREN'T THE ANTICHRIST. IMAGINE HAVING TO TELL SOME PEOPLE BASIC HUMAN FUNCTIONS. DUMB.
@@edwardjohnson4172 how about you control yourself and stop projecting and put on a chastity belt if you think that women shouldn't have any form of abortion or birth control at all times
The vast majority of Americans support a woman's right to choose. It is a decision best left to the mother and her Dr. The government should stay out of people's bedrooms.
Maybe listen to what she or other doctors are saying to understand the reasons why? I am not arguing, just asking. People are arguing too much and getting no where. You still might not agree, but you'd understand doctors who do the saving are telling us they need tools to manage pregnancies that go wrong. I listen to the person who uses the tools. Sometimes a woman can't stay pregnant physically. Miscarriages are common and pregnancy is too frequently fatal without intervention. Sepsis is a horrible way to die. Just don't make laws so strict it kills mothers doctors could save. That's very anti-life.
Yea it's so weird that the very demographic affected by it, and is actively being killed and maimed from abortion restriction is advocating for their lives and bodily autonomy. Crazy.
@@andromedaspark2241 No one is arguing that a child in the womb that has already died can't be removed. There is not a single abortion ban in the entire country that says that and no anti-abortion advocates would agree with that. The issue that people have with abortion is that it kills an innocent human being. No amount of excuses from doctors is going to change that.
Thank you for taking the time to make a video about this! Updates in the law about access to health care can go unrecognized so I appreciate you taking the time to explain!
Probably because the Supreme Court decided these matters should be left to the states to decide and that they shouldn't pass anything on it federally
it's only states rights when it's things those right wing christo-fascist leaders of those states disagree.
It means that the Supreme Court took their collective heads out of their butts long enough to realize that they are on the brink of the abyss.
More likely the pharmaceutical industry bribed them
