MODERATORS
Privileged people do get an exception - they can afford to fly to another state for an abortion.
People like this think they're part of the in group because they're white or christian, but the only war is class war. To our rulers we're all the enemy.
Many states put a bounty on anyone found to be helping someone travel out of state to get an abortion.

A medical form field we need is "what did you learn?"
"then connected Farmer with an anti-abortion crisis pregnancy center in the state"
I can imagine how that conversation went: "I know its risking not only your reproductive organs, but also your life. However, have you considered carrying the child to term so she can die in your arms shortly afterward so you can 'pwn the libs'? Think about their tears!"
For what it's worth, this particular case happened 2 years ago, in Missouri:
Good lemming. Keep doing good things.

"Conservatism consists of exactly one proposition, to wit: There must be in-groups whom the law protects but does not bind, alongside out-groups whom the law binds but does not protect."

It disgusts me to no end. "It's wrong and should be punished until it happens to me!"

And nothing was actually learned.
So did she lose her uterus? That would be great actually.
I don't wish harm to people even if they didn't understand what would happen when they encounter the same situation. This is just callous.
They understand it perfectly well. They think it won't happen to them but they're fine with it happening to others.
We may well be talking about someone who received inadequate sexual/reproductive education. Typically the only sex-ed the pulpit provides is "pro-life" propaganda.
You can make excuses all you want. All "pro-lifers" can go fuck themselves.
If this experience didn't change the patient's mind about identifying as and voting "pro-life", I might agree with you.

Just because I think we should have legal and safe abortion access doesn't mean we should root for people to die when it happens to them.
I'm perfectly fine with people facing the consequences for their beliefs.

Then why did she know to seek abortion care? True ignorance would mean dying during a miscarriage because you don't know what's happening and not seeking medical care.
It's likely her doctor told her she needed a DNC or something (without using the word "abortion") and the patient didn't realize the state laws would consider that an (gasp) "abortion" until the doctor told her so.
The only moral abortion is MY abortion!
Reminds me of brexit. You were warned, lady. You just chose not to listen because you didn’t think it would have a negative impact on you.
