9 People With Health Conditions the Justices Who Overturned Roe v. Wade Didn't Stop to Consider
This past Friday, the Supreme Court voted five to four in favor of overturning Roe v. Wade. This landmark court decision from 1973 established the constitutional right to abortion. Now, individual states will get to decide whether or not they will allow abortion.
People across the country are experiencing mixed feelings about this perplexing court ruling. However, many people, including the justices who voted in favor of overturning the court’s previous ruling on the matter, are not thinking about the way in which this decision will impact the millions of American women and people with a uterus who live with chronic health conditions.

1. The Transplant Recipients Whose Medications Make Pregnancy Problematic
Although it is possible for a transplant recipient to get pregnant and carry a baby to term, there are many potential complications. First and foremost, many anti-rejection medications can cause birth defects that would make life unsustainable for the fetus. They can also build up to toxic levels in the fetus’ bloodstream, which can lead to other complications.

2. The People Whose Autoimmune Disorder Could Cause Complications
Many autoimmune disorders cause your immune system to attack healthy tissue. This means that a pre-existing autoimmune disorder can interfere with the pregnancy by harming the fetus. Even if the autoimmune disorder allows the pregnancy to continue, the mother’s antibodies can enter the fetus’s system and disrupt its development and growth.

it sure is
since birth control isn't totally foolproof; and they also need to be sure they don't get raped, meaning they shouldn't ever go outside again or let a man in their house. That way they won't have to worry about an unplanned pregnancy, which would be their fault anyhow.
which I hope isn't necessary but just in case.
“Just give your baby away if you don’t want it!” Is NOT, I repeat, NOT a solution!
Pregnancy and childbirth can traumatize even a perfectly healthy woman’s body. I had 3 of them so I know what it’s like.
It’s infuriating these chowderheaded morons think pregnancy is easy peasy and just take your baby to the fire department is any kind of solution. GAH!
