This is why The Onion is so hard to differentiate from reality any more.
No one is gonna arrest her for murdering a child because she couldn’t carry it to term?
The mere idea that anyone has to perform a medical procedure on a pregnant woman relating to the pregnancy and hesitates, proves that the law is the issue.
Someone will undoubtedly try to get a bill passed somewhere that starts labeling any removal of a fetus from a woman as abortion when the medical community is telling you that is not the case. These anti-abortion supporters want woman to get pregnant and stay pregnant. They don’t care if you have medical complications that lead to death. To think they care is just a lost cause.
Honestly wish they'd have let her die and made it clear to her it was on behalf of what she fought for. Bitch doesn't deserve to doom so many women and live despite being a would-be victim of her own evil.
ok, now i'm "fearmongering" you to shut your disgusting overfed pie hole
oh, it didn't work? what. a. shocker.
Stupid bitch doesn't know what she's talking about. Film at 11!
You can't fix stupid.
"stupid"...
Or slaveringly subservient and brainwashed in the cult of your "Orange God" of choice...
Never mind. In retrospect, same thing.
Wonder what was different about her abortion.
Twenty five years old and still just as relevant as ever.

In all seriousness: it was an ectopic pregnancy, 5 weeks along. Technically legal to perform under Florida law, so in theory it shouldn't have been a problem to have it done even under current law.
To be clear, none of this is meant to be an enforcement of that law, any other laws about abortion on the books, or the anti-abortion movement in general. I can absolutely understand providers being skittish about anything even remotely borderline with these laws in place, just trying to get the basic facts into the comments because good arguments are worthless if it's about incorrect facts

And that is the whole issue here in a nutshell. Doctors and nurses are putting their careers and freedom on the line just brushing up against these draconian laws. If I were in their shoes I too would be very skittish.
I'm neither a doctor nor a woman, but can they really draw a line saying this day is in the sixth week and tomorrow is in the seventh? A line that would hold up in court if it had to?
If it's a matter of days you could probably just lie about the timing of your last period. Those weeks are calculated from the date of your last period, not from the date of conception, so as long as you're the only one who knows your cycle you could probably lie a little bit.
Which also makes a 5 week deadline more insane than most people realize. Given a steady 4 week cycle, you have 1 week to realize your period is late, schedule and perform an abortion. A lot of people do not have a steady cycle, and those may very well not notice until it's too late, even if they track their cycle.
Cruelty by design.
She's in the elite ruling class, so she gets to do whatever the fuck she wants with impunity while projecting false accusations onto anyone who fits in the 'other' category while her dumbass base of uneducated gerrymandered trolls eats it up.
