One of the unintended consequences of the abortion restrictions is showing that pregnancy is dangerous. Pregnancy is dangerous, not abortion.

Abortion happens whether we seek it or not- spontaneously. We OBGyns manage abortions- it’s not just a procedure. We skirt death by acting.

Surgical abortion,medication abortion and antibiotics help us avoid death. We didn’t talk about that a lot- it was private and sad- but now it’s out.

The politicians cracked it all open, and now that we doctors can’t act, we all can see publicly how many pregnancies end in loss (1 in 4)and how many times miscarriage turns lethal when doctors can’t act.

Thank you so much @DrFakeSmile for pointing this fact out . Miscarriage or ‘missed abortions’ - is that the correct term? are sadly a normal part of human pregnancy. It’s the body’s natural way of ending a pregnancy that is incompatible with life. Republican politicians & Supreme Court judges are not doctors but they are playing doctor without the knowledge or the empathy of doctors. And now their anti abortion zealotry is standing the way of saving women’s future fertility and their lives . But tragically zealots aren’t persuaded by facts and so hundreds of American women could pay for the refusal of virulent ant abortion activism before enough Americans demand that laws change . Only massive pressure on GOP politicians from voters will stop this cruelty I fear. U agree?

“Donald John Trump, the twice-impeached, thrice-indicted 45th President of the United States, died on December 29, 2024, mere weeks before he was set to be sworn in for a catastrophic second term. His death, while tragic for those still entranced by his cult of personality, offers a much-needed reprieve for a nation and world terrorized by his existence. He was 78.” Read more…
