@mojorabbit @MibshaD I can debate if the laws cause delays another day. What this post says is that “they want” to ban treatment of ectopic pregnancies. All of the people I know that volunteer for prolife causes absolutely do not want to ban treatment of ectopic pregnancies.
English
Just so we're clear: the pregnancy that ends up in the wrong spot, like the fallopian tube? The one that will NEVER turn into a baby and will rupture and kill your wife, daughter, or sister? Terminating that fetus is also an abortion, and they want to ban those, too.
English
@ES03784893 @MibshaD @ohiogop If “they” mainly consists of one lonely legislator and this yahoo, then I’d say that “they” are powerless and not worth worrying over.

@QueenMab87 Take two pregnant women: one takes mifepristone and one takes Tylenol as directed. The one who takes mifepristone is vastly more likely to end up in the ER the next day.
English
Regular reminder that mifepristone is safer than Tylenol

Might as well make a point explicit here. Opposition to abortion in America is entirely religious and mostly concentrated in devout, conservative Christianity.
Indeed, there's something here where I actually agree with those folks-- pro-choicers really do reject their God.

@SergioPM1103 i have never read a secular argument against early term abortion that i did not find completely ridiculous. and again, secular people agree with me-- opposition to abortion is entirely religious. I have read arguments against late term abortion i thought made reasonable points.

@sheshelseeshell @ReluctantActvst @KelliCrabt91128 @_letterbxmb @mossy2099695 The guys I know who’ve had vasectomies did not experience “no questions asked.”
English
@LBR4567 @ReluctantActvst @KelliCrabt91128 @_letterbxmb @mossy2099695 Oh I tried multiple! I’m a resourceful gal, I got it done. But not in Florida. I feel the salient point here is that a man can get a vasectomy literally no questions asked in most cases & it’s fairly non invasive.
English
I am begging all the men who never want to have children to get a vasectomy. They blocked the mailing of the abortion pill in an appeals court today. I feel it in my bones that they’re going to try and get rid of birth control too.
English
@sheshelseeshell @ReluctantActvst @KelliCrabt91128 @_letterbxmb @mossy2099695 There’s really nothing to be done about that besides find another doctor, there’s plenty who will do it. You can’t force a doctor to do an elective procedure.
English
@LBR4567 @ReluctantActvst @KelliCrabt91128 @_letterbxmb @mossy2099695 You’re not wrong, there’s no law YET, but there are MANY states (for example Florida) that doctors simply will not do the procedure if you have not already had at least 1 child because YOU MIGHT change your mind.
English
@ReluctantActvst @KelliCrabt91128 @_letterbxmb @mossy2099695 There’s no law against getting your tubes removed. It helps protect against ovarian cancer too!
If you have trouble finding a doctor who will do it, check these resources.

She was terrified of not being able to get the treatment she needed for miscarriage and then she got the treatment she needed and her doctors carefully rather than negligently explained the process to her, and this is held up as proof people can’t get treatment for miscarriage.

Spoke with a woman last night who recently had a miscarriage in Georgia. She was terrified of not being able to get the treatment she needed. Said her female doctor worded her treatment plan very carefully and she could tell everyone was on edge in the process. Personally, I think a woman would have to be crazy to have a pregnancy in a state like Georgia where our legislature’s ridiculous heartbeat bill is putting women’s lives in danger and making pregnancy high risk even for people who want kids.
English
@SometimesSoftly @ASFleischman Yes, it’s a weird charge. Did she want the doctor to be blasé about it? I had a miscarriage and D&C in Georgia, and I’m glad the doctor explained everything carefully, it was a very emotional time!
English
@ASFleischman In this story, the woman got the care she needed. The supposed problem is that a doctor had to phrase something "carefully."
English
Georgia's draconian abortion laws make it less safe to have a baby here.

@ASFleischman This study found no statistically significant increase in pregnancy mortality due to abortion laws. jamanetwork.com/journals/jaman…
English
@HannahDCox I wouldn’t have taken that option anyway even if it had been offered.
English
@HannahDCox My assumption that the laws did not hinder my care also would have colored how I viewed what happened to me, to be fair. Perhaps my doctor would have offered a D&C a week before my baby had actually passed when we knew it was likely that they weren’t going to live.

@KassyAkiva There’s research into this! Morning sickness is caused by a hormone the placenta makes GDF15. This clinic in Alabama is doing work on it. morningsicknessclinic.com/obs

If they cured morning sickness, I’d aim for having like 10 kids.

@enlchicago @LeahLibresco This couple doesn’t have fertility issues, they’re a same sex female couple.
English
@LBR4567 @LeahLibresco If there are fertility issues, IUI is not a good choice.
IUI is most useful for healthy women using donor sperm who often succeed within three attempts.
English
@BbbbbbGali @LeahLibresco If there’s a 15% chance of success for one try, you have a 48% chance of success in 4 tries.
English
@LBR4567 @LeahLibresco If the 15% success rate is true it seems like a waste of money to try. Statistically it's 15% each time, your odds don't increase the more you try so you can keep trying and trying and odds are *not* in your favor every time, you're likely to fail so...
English
@LeahLibresco Granted they haven’t even gotten to attempt implantation yet and could have tried IUI like 4 times by now.
English
@LeahLibresco The fertility doctors also push IVF. My friend going through it now was dissuaded from trying IUI first because each month has a ~15% success rate. IVF implantation success rate ~50%. The doctor made her feel like she’d be wasting too much time trying IUI.
