A morally bankrupt position (IMO) that of demanding the “right” to kill one’s unborn child.

There has been talk of comparing states with abortion restrictions to states without when it comes to rape. This cannot be a fair comparison, and here’s why…

If 80% of all rapes are unreported, and that is a fair number, what happens in each state differs.

In California, the woman who doesn’t report goes to an abortion clinic and terminates the pregnancy, probably with Plan B or the like. No need to report, it just goes down as a medically induced abortion.

In Texas, that same woman is hosed. She cannot abort past a certain number of weeks. Reporting the rape will not help matters past a 6-8 week window I believe, in which time many pregnancies may not even be confirmed. (A lot of women have irregular cycles)

Neither side confirmed a rape, but one had an abortion and the other didn’t, due to the state they lived in. So there is probably a large number of women in restricted states that are being forced to carry a rapist’s baby. Not an infant (those are born children), but a baby/fetus. Again, I am against abortion personally but that is due to my religious upbringing and values. What other people do is not my concern until viability.

I disagree.

Not true.

No. No. No.

A pregnancy test is accurate less than 3 weeks from the date of the rape. Any woman who is raped should immediately report the rape.

Not more than 3 weeks from the date of the rape, she should get a pregnancy test.

If it is positive and she chooses to, she has 3 weeks in which to get a legal abortion.

In Texas.

lol.

That’s true.

It’s not true. Keep reading.

Well, maybe it’s fair if you count buyer’s remorse as rape.

  1. by the definitions of the words…… yes.
    The left seems to have problems with what words actually mean.
    Like man….
    Or woman.
    Or the fact that the biggest way of spotting an actual bigot is their propensity to call others bigot. (Look up the definition)

  2. Time travel isn’t possible. Knowing your pregnant 6 month prior to the birth is pretty standard.

Which in this case if I understood correctly, was NOT an emergency ie: life threatening AT THAT SPECIFIC time. Why didn’t she see her GP and get referred to the correct specialist and get it handled?

Which ia typically not an ER procedure but done by an OB/GYN correct?
So, why did she not get the procedure done by her ob/gyn is the question here.

Being told to “wait in the car” or whatever means she obviously had not appointment.

She walked in and demanded, of a hospital that may or may not even have the right equipment and trained staff “clear out an operating room, cancel someone else’s surgery and give my my surgery now right now.”

Which is why I am calling attention to the fact that there is some sort of fakeness to the article.

From the article:

Jaci Statton’s pregnancy ordeal began in late February. She’s a stay-at-home mom living near Shawnee in central Oklahoma. She and her husband, Dustin Statton, have three kids – two seven year olds and an eight year old. Dustin is an oil field technician, and they have a fishing guide business – she says she and her family go fishing every day.

After weeks of feeling terrible – nauseous and dizzy and weak – Statton had a sudden episode of heavy bleeding that sent her to the emergency room. At her OB-GYN the next day, she learned she had a type of molar pregnancy, in which some of the tissue is cancerous. Molar pregnancy happens when a fertilized egg has too many chromosomes. It does not develop into a viable fetus. It is usually a benign condition, but in about 15% of cases, like Jaci’s, it is cancerous. Her doctor told her she was at risk of hemorrhage and even death, but that she couldn’t get treated there.

The treatment for a patient in her condition is a dilation and curettage or D&C – an abortion procedure that clears pregnancy tissue from the uterus. Over the course of a week, again and again, she says doctors told her they could not care for her.

After a week of being transferred to three different Oklahoma hospitals, Statton says her doctors actually suggested she leave the state and go to a place where an abortion is legal.

it’s in the article. Quoted above. She felt like crap and had heavy bleeding. Went to the ER. OBGYN next day confirmed she had a Molar pregnancy. She had risk of cancer, hemorrhage and death. They can not do D&C at that office.

Couldn’t find anyone to do it. Ended up in a hopsital and was tranfered three times beofre leaving the state.

I don’t think I quoted this part - she needed follow up procedures and chemotherapy do to the risk of cancer.

Why the heck would you make up disparaging things about a woman dealing with this terrible condition?

What the actual ■■■■■

You could have just read the article to see how idiotic your claims are.

She needed more procedures and chemo.

Why on earth would you claim this is fake? My god…

Victim shaming a woman with a ■■■■■■■ tumor in her uterus is really something special.
