I can remember when abortion was illegal decades ago, but a medically necessary D&C was not a controversy of any kind.

If there is no fetus, how is it considered abortion? It makes zero sense.

No pun intended. The amnion is produced by the embryo, not the mother. There must have been a living embryo-- the amnion wouldn't exist otherwise.

But not the sac. Ergo, she needs a D&C, but depending on the state she resides in, can't have one. This is an ABOMINATION that needs to be corrected!

I don't know but I remember my mother saying she didn't believe I was pregnant because they couldn't find it. And that hurt me terribly. There was a reason there were pregnancy hormones and they were moving down but then stopped. I don't think you create pregnancy hormones unless you are pregnant. But the embryo was missing and I don't know why and the doctors were not sure either. The pregnancy hormones didn't go away until I was given a shot of Methotrexate that killed the pregnancy. Then I had no more pregnancy hormones.

Shit happens.

Funny after Roe v Wade was overturned
it didn't matter if it was a red or blue state
a women's right to her own body won every time in every election but in November 2024 that voting block disappeared. Thanx
to Musk and Thiel.

Freedom of religion also means freedom from religion too. And that includes women's health care.
