More anti-woman crap:
What Draconian Abortion Laws Mean For Real Women's Lives
The real heart is in the comments, where women share their stories:
Quote:
Okay, so what if fetuses can feel pain? You know who else can feel pain?
Parents who lose a wanted child and are prevented from accessing medical care. Children whose mothers die because they can't access medical care. Husbands whose wives die or are rendered infertile because they can't access medical care. Women who are rendered infertile because they can't access medical care. Women who are forced to carry an unwanted pregnancy to term because their health insurance won't pay for their medical care. Women who are forced to carry an unwanted pregnancy to term, period.
Me. The fact that I want more children desperately and yet I am terrified of getting pregnant because of the potential medical complications that could kill me. Which would be a lot less likely to kill me if I didn't live in fucking South Dakota where I am, you guessed it, prevented from accessing medical care in less than 3 days should I need it. And where my insurance probably wouldn't pay for it anyway, if I even live that long.
GRRRRR.
