...and now that I'm back from the store I'll talk about "The Reproductive Health Act" recently passed in NY state that so triggered the Mango Mussolini, his propaganda news network, and his bible thumping minions on their drama filled performance.
NY state passed a ruling allowing abortions back in 1970, but the ruling had one major flaw. It did not allow abortion care after 24 weeks to preserve a woman’s health or in cases of fetal non-viability.
That required the intervention or decision of a court or legal counsel. Which if anyone is familiar with our legal system and how "fast" it works can sometimes take days, weeks, or months.
When a decision is made to end a pregnancy due to medical reasons, those reasons usually require
immediate action. In my case, my son's heart was stopping and my kidneys were shutting down, in the case of four other women I know personally...two women went into cardiac arrest (one suffered long term heart damage), and with the 3rd the baby's heart slowed to critical levels and unfortunately intervention did not prevent the death of the child...with the 4th the child lived but had complications, the mother did not.
In today's medical setting, 95% of the time the life of the child always takes precedence over that of the mother. Always.
Many times the woman is seen as nothing more than a "host" or a "petri dish"...in the event of complications you are pumped full of meds, fluids, steroids and whatever it takes to extend your pregnancy as long as possible, sometimes at the risk of a few organs. But what's a few organs right?
After a couple days, or weeks of this you are usually so far near the edge you are declared not competent enough to make the final decision yourself, so the final decision is presented to your spouse...as mine was. He was given the option to deliver the baby and take the risk that it might not survive, or wait, try more steroids and maybe the baby would survive, but I would definitely require dialysis or worse for possibly the remainder of my life.
So fuck Trump, fuck his tax bill that is inching us closer and closer to recession, fuck his health care ideas that are driving up the cost of medication and care to more unaffordable and unattainable levels, fuck his environmental roll backs that line his pockets with money and make my water more unsafe to drink, and double fuck him for his uneducated stance on abortion that could cost a lot of women their lives.
