    , “I would say the Extreme Court is imposing Sharia Law on the United States, but that would be a lie. Even under Sharia Law women are not left to suffer and die from a tubal pregnancy.”

    How in the everloving fuck can a legal system be so absolutely broken as to not allow self defence.

    Can the Supreme Court be sued for criminal negligence as soon as there’s a death related to this?

    So, this pretty much eliminates the need to go to hospitals for birth, yeah? I mean it sounds like they’re just gonna let you die anyway. Time for a Doula revolution

      Eliminates the need? More like eliminates the option.

      Obstetricians are leaving the state in droves (because their job has become an increasingly risky legal obstacle course), and hospitals are shutting down their birthing centers (because they don’t have obstetricians to see patients).

    To simplify this… Idaho (and other states) are spending time and money to make sure that a pregnant woman and the fetus die from pregnancy complications, instead of just the fetus.

    If you are a woman in one of these states, they would rather let you die a slow, gory, painful and entirely preventable death, than allow you to terminate an already failed pregnancy on the off chance that God comes down and re-inplants your ectopic pregnancy, something which has, to my knowledge, never happened before, not even in their fucking fairytale book.

      You mean the same book that instructed priests to perform abortions on pregnant women if their husband even suspected infidelity?

      Its not about their sky-daddy, its jist about control.

    they wouldn’t want to interfere with the right of self proclaimed Christians to use laws to enforce their imagined dogma on everyone else

    “We should leave it up to the States to decide,” knowing full well that each and every case would end up before the Supreme Court no matter which way they went and that the SCOTUS would eventually get to decide for every single state again.
