Why OB-GYNs Are Scared About Life After Roe

I'm a native Okie, and want to thank these doctors for telling the truth and encourage others to listen and make intelligent changes.

"This is gunna affect people who never in their lives thought it would affect them."

Unfortunately, people do not realize that these regulations impact more than just the legality of abortions. These laws have vague language. They don’t define clearly when a mother’s life is “in danger.”

Sending a doctor to jail for saving a life must be among my top reasons for deserving a ticket straight to hell.

When the woman said, “if I had to go to jail, I had to go to jail” I felt that. I felt such a rush of emotions. I wanted to cry. Because there’s going to be OBGYNs who are going to sacrifice their own lives for the lives of others. There’s an oath that doctors take to save the lives of others. It’s so powerful to hear this woman saying she’d risk it all. So powerful. So brave.

A pro life state that activley supports the death penalty?

I had a 50/50 chance of survival 4 weeks in...was super sick. I was 27 years of age and healthy at the time. They explained my options and possibilities of becoming sterile after if my pregnancy failed. I was rushed to an ER that specialized in difficult pregnancies. If I were to keep my baby, they can help but would require me to be still and stuck in bed there at the hospital full term. They also stressed they can not guarantee I will survive but at least I'll be at the hospital already should anything happen. Prior to this event, my dad needed to tell me how my godmother died weirdly before I was pregnant. She and her husband were trying for 10 years and was finally pregnant but had a 75/25 chance of survival. The husband wanted to keep the baby as that was their dream but unfortunately, 5 months later, she passed out on the way to work one morning. The doctors asked my godfather when he arrived at the hospital who to save as they can only save one. My godfather chose his wife but then she also died 30 mins later. He lives a life of regret and the nursery untouched after 40 years. So I remembered that story and my husband immediately responded if it's not 100% safe, he will not risk my life. He said we were young and can try again. Our obgyn helped us afterwards do a complete lifestyle change and one and half year later I was able to get pregnant again 100% safe. All our friends were estatic as the first pregnancy they all secretly had a bad feeling about it but didn't want to influence me until they found out what the doctor said. Now I have a strong and vibrant 10 year old girl that we enjoy making memories with and I would not be here with a family if I couldn't do a "forced miscarriage". It's the term they used here in California for medical abortion. It was something I honestly didn't think I would end up doing myself until I got into a situation that required it and I am certain my godmother was watching from heaven warning me not to make the same mistake as her and because of her, I get to live out her dream.

I'm so glad doctors are standing up. The mother's life is always worth more than a potential life. It should be her decision. Anything else is inhumane.

My mom passed when I was 7, I was a latchkey kid who took herself to her own doctors appointments alone by bus. I've been taking care of myself since I was 8. I have a masters degree and no kids. Yet, I am still not considered trustworthy enough to take care of my own health care decisions. I have lived in the US my whole life, I even work in health care, I've taken biology, anatomy, and physiology courses and it's still not enough. I needed support when I was 8, lost and depressed, not now that I'm a full grown woman.

I never been so disgusted and disappointed of my country. America is a walking contradiction. Land of the Free, but enforcers of tradition and religion. This feels like it's going into the direction sharia law.

The people applauding Roe vs. Wade being overturned are the ones that are screaming my body my choice when it comes to masks and vaccines.

450k kids are available for adoption now.

As an outsider not affected by this, I can't imagine living in a state or country that takes religion and beliefs before human Rights and health. I would have moved on day one. Sorry for all of them who have family and jobs who cannot just pack up and leave. Hopefully you can get your country on track again.

The Evilgelicals did not care about the safety and well-being of a 10 year old girl who was raped and impregnated. They wanted to force her to carry to term. These people are heartless.

As an Oklahoman and a college student, I am extremely afraid of what could happen to my future because I don’t have a choice to abortion. It’s scary to imagine and no one should be forced to be pregnant.

As someone who is 34 going on 35 (geriatric pregnancy 🙄), planning to have kids soon, and has a family history of miscarriage resulting in a D&C, I'm terrified. REALLY FUCKING TERRIFIED.

Crazy time in the USA! Being a doctor is a dangerous profession in some states?!! Idiocracy indeed...

"The unborn" are a convenient group of people to advocate for. They never make demands of you; they are morally uncomplicated, unlike orphans, they don't need money, education, or childcare; they allow you to feel good about yourself without any work at creating or maintaining relationships; and when they are born, you can forget about them, because they cease to be unborn. It's almost as if, by being born, they have died to you. You can love the unborn and advocate for them without substantially challenging your own wealth, power, or privilege, without re-imagining social structures, apologizing, or making reparations to anyone. They are, in short, the perfect people to love if you want to claim you love Jesus but actually dislike people who breathe.

We somehow forget that person carrying the baby is the priority, not the child.
