3. can confirm.

lost a pair of twins at 12 wks. damn near bled to death in one of the best hospitals in the city.
if i hadnt dragged an exhausted resident out of bed at 2 am, i wouldnt be here.

[applegrove]

4. So glad you took care of yourself. Vibes for that trauma and loss.

[mopinko]

5. def file under- didnt kill me, made me stronger.

also, i was alone cuz i already had little ones at home. i dont let anyone go to the hospital alone if i can help if.

6. Don't a large percentage (25%+) of pregnancies end up as miscarriages? Will these be prosecuted?

In states that treat any non-carrying to birth as a potential abortion?

These jerks shouldn't be allowed to be in office or even have kids. They are abominations.

7. K&R

[dchill]

8. SCOTUS response: Yeah? So?

[bhikkhu]

13. More currently, "It's God's will"

And then - "nothing we can do about that".

It's kind of like we are living in an entire world built on science and progress, and mentally choosing to govern ourselves as simple-minded superstitious cave-dwellers did.

[dchill]

14. Goes without saying!

[lastlib]

22. More like: "works for me"....

They. Want. Power. Over. Women.

End of discussion.

[Rhiannon12866]

9. Thank you! This is exactly what is never mentioned in all these discussions!

Women can and will die - since "the life of the mother" is not considered in any of these prohibitions.

[Dark n Stormy Knight]

29. They don't care that thousands of innocent men & children die

as a result of increasingly unfettered gun access. They care even less about women.

[Beartracks]

10. Wait - Do you mean conservatives base policy and law on their own ignorance??

Color me shocked. Shocked!

12. It is womens health care

That is the long and short of it

15. K and R for visibility.

16. Add to this list Molar Pregnancy

A molar pregnancy can have fetal tissue that is growing but not actually forming into anything. It can lead to cancer.

[Alwaysna]

17. I wonder what would happen with the rare case of fetus -in- fetu?

[applegrove]

18. ? I don't understand.

[Alwaysna]

24. Google fetus-in- fetu. It's rare but it happens.

[applegrove]

25. Oh that is so sad.

[MontanaMama]

19. My second miscarriage was a roller coaster.

We closely watched what we thought was a normal pregnancy but my doctor saw a cardiac anomaly that she said would most likely end in the death of the fetus. Indeed she was correct and baby’s heartbeat slowly came to a complete stop over the course of the next couple of weeks, finally ending when I was 15 weeks into my pregnancy. The fetus did not expel and I was referred for a D&C which removed the dead tissue from my body. It has occurred to me many times during this last week that living in Montana, that service may not be available to me now.

[applegrove]

23. So sad. So sad. My thoughts are with you. All this must be so triggering.n/t

[MerryBlooms]

28. I am so sorry. My sister lost her little girl 20 years ago,

But the doctor forced birth. She is still traumatized, hasn't fully recovered. She cries a lot. We hug and I let her cry and love on her. We take flowers to the grave. She took pictures of her little dead baby girl. It's not something we get over. I am so sorry for your ongoing grief. I have never been through this, but I am going through comforting someone who is. It's devastating and never goes away. I hope you have someone to hold you and just stroke your head and love you. Cry with you.

[MontanaMama]

30. Thank you for your kind words

and thank you for your support for your dear sister. Miscarriages are terrible. I was one of the fortunate ones to find myself pregnant at 40 and gave birth to a baby boy at 41. That kiddo is now 17 and the light of my life. Miscarriages are often swept under the rug. My heart goes out to your sister. I can’t imagine her trauma.

[Martin68]

20. Many cancer treatments will kill a fetus. Saving that mother's life is now illegal in many states.

[lastlib]

21. Mother-killers.

That's what they are.

[MerryBlooms]

26. A lot of people will die. Unfortunately, a lot of those people

And their families, will claim, God's will. It's what they do. God's will, over and over. This is the republican base. It will take millions of dead women, and even then, you will have white women proclaiming victory. God's will, always God's will. So, how do we counter such entrenched belief? We can't. The youth need to fight. I have no grandchildren. I have one son committed to equal rights, my other son converted to Mormon. The Mormon son and his wife committed to no children because of his wife's depression issues. They knew they would make great aunts and uncles, and are, but have no business being parents.

So, both sons are committed to non reproduction. I'm the only one in our family without grandchildren. I am proud of my boys and their decisions. I stood firm against family who tried to deride and diminish them. Not really men, and bs like that. Verses their kids who were popping out kids constantly, and to what ends? No father involved, no child support, working in a motel changing out sperm splattered sheets? Yep, last I was criticized for not having grandchildren. But, they also don't speak to me at all now. I try to miss them, but can't quite. Maybe some day. 😄

I am completely done with people who are bullies, bigots, racist, and just plain mean hearted. Even if they're family. I am old enough to choose my family. I choose loving supportive people. People in my life didn't take me serious, when I told them, I AM DONE WITH YOU, and I
crossed my hand over my neck. I am done! Cut off! I meant it. Now, they tell others, they are surprised. 😄

27. I worry the GOP is darker in its intentions now that machines will take

over most work. They seem unconnected from a vibrant and growing middle class.

[Lady Freedom Returns]

31. Just goes to show.

Prolife don't care about life. The name is a con.

[Pepsidog]

32. I was wondering that. I have 4 healthy adult kids but my wife miscarried twins and had to have a D&E

I think it was called to remove the fetuses. What happens in states with complete abortion ban? Must women either sue or go out of state? By the way, the child born after the twins started his Orthopedic Surgery residency last week.

[soldierant]

34. I always used to hear D&C (dilation and curettage) but D&E is more accurate

(dilation and evacuation) since curettage is a particular technique - evacuation is the result , technique not specified, and there are multiple techniques possible.

[AwakeAtLast]

33. I would have lost my mother at the age of 16

Ectopic pregnancy in 1986.

[soldierant]

35. I would never have been born

Mother's ectopic pregnancy 7-9 years before I was, as they used to say, a gleam in my daddy's eye.)
