I thought we weren't going to punish women though?

Fine. You want to live in a medieval inquisition dark ages shithole? Fine, but you don't get to have it both ways. No running water, or electricity or any other comfort.

And when the 6 Dr Peppers a day finally catch up with them, not running to the hospital demanding the most advanced medicine to save their fat asses.

These assholes all deserve what is coming as result of their garbage view of reality.

Or maybe we could just help everyone we can, and live up to our own standards.

Punishment for those wondering is as follows:

  • For the drug Flunitrazepam : Prison with option of hard labor for no less than one year, no more than ten years. At discretion of the Justice a fine no more than $5,000.
  • For any other controlled substance under this law : Prison with option of hard labor for no less than one year, no more than five years. At discretion of the Justice a fine no more than $5,000.

For those wondering, Flunitrazepam is the generic name for Rohypnol, aka the date rape drug.

Louisiana got to pave them roads somehow.

This is Louisiana, home of the Angola prison.

Shit states gonna shit state

I’ve been looking for a way to keep up with these shitty states. I’m either going to make a spreadsheet or someone is going to make a website. Either way, It’d help to know at a glance.

Apparently it's still going to be legal to possess them with a prescription, but can doctors in Louisiana write such a prescription?

about 0.3% of people who used mifepristone to end a pregnancy experienced a major complication, meaning they required hospitalization, surgery or a blood transfusion. Surgical abortions done in the first trimester of pregnancy, by comparison, resulted in major complications 0.16% of the time

These pills are more dangerous than a surgical abortion? That's not what I would have expected.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 5 months ago

If pieces remain, they need a D&C, which would never be a complication with surgical abortion because that's the surgery.

0.3% experienceing side effects is hardly "dangerous". That's an order of magnitude less frequent than peanut allergies.

This is not about looking after the best interest of anyone

I don't disagree; I'm just talking about relative risk.

A thought experiment: do the legislators care as much about adequate food, shelter, medical care? Water and cooling breaks for laborers, including prisoners? If not, is protecting people an ostensible goal or actual goal?

[–] [email protected] 0 points 5 months ago (2 children)

Keep in mind, side effects can be literally anything reported - headaches, stomach cramps, etc.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 5 months ago

It says “major complication” that required hospitalization, not side effects.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 5 months ago

The quote says “major complications” and defines what that means. It’s not just side effects. It is definitely surprising that the rate of complications is so much higher for the pills. Still, I think that’s something a doctor should take into account when prescribing and not a valid reason to ban it.
