Ohio bill orders doctors to 'reimplant ectopic pregnancy' or face 'abortion murder' charges
Source: theguardian.com
A bill to ban abortion introduced in the Ohio state legislature requires doctors to reimplant an ectopic pregnancy into a womans uterus a procedure that does not exist in medical science or face charges of abortion murder.
This is the second time practising obstetricians and gynecologists have tried to tell the Ohio legislators that the idea is currently medically impossible.
The move comes amid a wave of increasingly severe anti-abortion bills introduced across much of the country as conservative Republican politicians seek to ban abortion and force a legal showdown on abortion with the supreme court.
Ohios move on ectopic pregnancies where an embryo implants on the mothers fallopian tube rather than her uterus rendering the pregnancy unviable is one of the most extreme bills to date.

Every time I have been involved in an ectopic pregnancy patient, everyone from the Paramedics to the Trauma Surgeons are GOING ALL OUT in a mad ass scramble to try to save the woman's life......
I LOVE IT, let them pass the law, and let the brain addled right to lifers finance the development and techniques with church donations for a procedure that isn't even possible...................................
that would keep them busy for awhile.

(44,973 posts)The procedure that does not exist. Not all ectopic pregnancies are unwanted. I am sure they would have been women wanted to have fetus relocated. But it can not be done at the current state of medicine.

(21,432 posts)woman to bleed. The fallopian tube can burst from the pressure of the embryo growing. This causes peritonitis and septic shock as well as hemorrhaging. Not to mention that the pain is excruciating.
Never happened to me but I knew a woman years ago that went through this. I worked with her husband who was out of the office on business when we got the emergency call from their neighbor. This was before cell phones and we frantically tried to track down the husband, leaving messages every place he might be.
She nearly died, but did survive, minus one tube.. Bleeding, infection, near zero vitals -- how the hell could anyone save an embryo in that situation, let alone implant it in the uterus while keeping the mother alive?
What total insanity.
wnylib
(21,432 posts)diagnosed before the emergency develops, and a reimplantation to be done as soon as it is discovered?
Even then, the procedure is not yet possible. Just because embryos can be implanted in fertility treatments does not mean it is possible to detach a growing embryo from human tissue intact, keep it alive during the process, and reimplant it.
The people who wrote the bill should be required to watch video of emergency treatment when such a pregnancy occurs.

(22,478 posts)way back with mine they can track it by pregnancy hormones to see if it dissolves itself, which mine did. But after some time it stopped stopping so to speak and I was given a shot of Methotrexate, (a cancer drug) which immediately terminated the pregnancy. I have wondered what these fucking nut jobs would say about the Methotrexate even when the it was well known that the fetus was not viable. I'm sure some prickly little man in Arkansas would want them to refuse all medicine to me.
I wanted to have a baby. It was a fluke and going through the whole process was long and distressing. Fuck all these people.

So yeah, I'm thinking anyone of any gender who votes for these particular idiots doesn't think for her/himself.
Some of these state legislators are so dumb, seriously, that they can barely fog a mirror. And it is possible for women to act in strikingly ignorant ways just as it is for men. Kind of an equality of stupidity in this particular case, because there's no way the people in the legislature who voted this through deserve to be there.

Shes not stupid, she just doesnt wanna pay a cent more to anybody for covering the cost of Blood on the Sand (in middle east foreign wars of choice) than she has to.
I think Ohiogal probably believes that choice is about a woman being able to have a baby, or not, at her own discretion and on her own terms, and NOT have any of that decision making process left up to the state legislature (especially when that decision can legally cost her life, and isn't a viable medical procedure in the first place).

(31 posts)Ohio has become one of the states where the rural religious faction of the Republican party has begun to implement it's most radical positions in an attempt to push the whole country further to the right.
If you want to fight back, help us in Ohio. If you are in a solid blue district, reach out to a local dem club in Ohio and ask how you can help from your location. In my local hometown on the west side of Cuyahoga County, we have been coordinating, canvassing, and have fought back together since 2016. We have knocked over 10,000 doors and we have begun to see some success. We helped elect the first democratic candidate in 20+ years to the local city council (City of Rocky River). We plan on continuing this trend and knock even more homes next year.
But we need help in the trenches. If you are in another part of the country wondering what you can do to fight back against the politicians that pursue these radical policies, reach out to a local club and ask how you can help. We need volunteers to make phone calls, send personal letters, post to FB time lines and groups, write blog posts, send out blast emails. There are a lot of good that can be accomplished if we start to band together.
If you are interested and need some direction on where you can help, please reach out to me. Things will get better when we work as a group, for the best interests of our society.

if ohio GOP would pay $1000 for a 1hr infomercial 10 stations x 15 hrs/day are worth $750,000/WEEK FREE for them, paid for by advertisers and endorsed by those uni brandss, logos, etc
talk radio is the GOP GOTV
whenever and whatever the left protests at rw talk radio stations will be front page
the 88+ universities that use their majority black athletes to attract advertisers to 260 of those KKK radio stations are all good places to protest. the cons can ignore protests everywhere else because a few hundred ignorant liars on those radio stations yell over the protestors as long as it takes.
protests directed directly at the problem will freak the cons out. they'll howl "free speech!!", media will notice, and that will send advertisers to the hills. the cons will have to fund it directly and that will end the 'market demand' for lies and hate bullshit
the only unique advantage the fascists have now is talk radio and all americans have to do is stop ignoring it
artificial intelligence-enhanced transcription now makes it inevitable that talk radio will be digitized so it can finally be analyzed - it needs to happen NOW and the dem party and left orgs have no fucking excuse to continue the stupidity. advertisers can easily be listed and associated with content - easy, fast, and cheap. stoprush x 100 is possible.
boycotts of ANY advertiser on ANY rw radio station/show and protests at the 88 universities will send advertisers running and will force the ad industry to ask advertisers if they really support trump and global warming denial. and when universities start looking for apolitical alternatives to broadcast sports on many of those stations will be forced to go to other programming.
this fascism has been blasting from 1500 radio stations for 30 years UNCHALLENGED by the left. as a protected unchalled 20-1 monopoly that dominates politiocal messaging in 40 states with 80- senators it operates outside the free speech spectrum. it won't survive if it's forced to compete.
for americans to despair over the rise of fascism while doing NOTHING about rw talk radio is very sad, especially going into this election and facing global warming acceleration - it's the biggest political mistake in history

(81,220 posts)We have a Postcard Party three Sundays per month (two of our own and one at a nearby senior center thats focused on the climate crisis). Our team leader gets lists of addresses of Democratic voters in other states so we can write postcards to various districts to urge them in general to vote, or to support a particular local candidate. We up here in Oregon wrote to Orange County voters in SoCal to support Harley Rouda in 2018, for example, and it helped him flip that district from red to blue. We also wrote to Florida voters earlier this month to remind them that they can now vote from home, and how they can sign up for the program set up to expedite that.
I think our team leader gets her lists from the Democratic Party, but I can find out more specifics if you like! Our next Postcard Party is this coming Sunday (two days from now).

Transplantations of Ectopic Pregnancy from Fallopian Tube to Cavity of Uterus
by
c.J. Wallace, M.D.
The following is reprinted from Volume 24 of Surgery, Gynecology and Obstetrics, dated May 5, 1917.
Heretofore it has been the advice of our best men that when ectopic pregnancy was diagnosed during the early quiescent period, or when it has been discovered during an abdominal operation, it should be removed at once. This has been the rule followed for years. It has been accepted as the only thing to do. Why have we all these many years been so willing to deprive these little children ofthe right to live just because they were started wrong? In this day of advanced surgery, with the art of transplanting different parts, and, in fact organs of the body, I wonder at the escape of so important a procedure, entailing so little danger, as the transplanting of an ectopic pregnancy from the fallopian tube into the uterus, thus permitting the child to develop and be born as was its intention before its progress was obstructed. Before we go any farther let us look into the conditions and structure of the parts with which we are dealing. The anatomical structure of the fallopian tube is the same as that of the uterus of which it is a continuation - a serous coat, a muscular, and mucous coat. The inner or mucous coat is continuous with the lining of the uterus and at its free extremity with the peritoneum. According to Edgar,l the pathology of ectopic gestation is in part as follows:
This includes changes in the ovum, foetus and uterus. The gestation sac is formed from the coats of the tube wall. The muscular tissue, instead of undergoing hypertrophy, often tends to disappear. The attachment of the ovum does not differ from that in normal uterine pregnancy. A placenta forms, but the decidual structures are rudimentary; so that the chorionic villi penetrate readily into the gestational sac as far as the peritoneum. If the foetus does not die, its tendency is toward poor development, and the various deformities and diseases noted in intra-uterine foetuses. Exceptionally survival occurs and the child may be well developed. The collateral changes in the uterus during ectopic pregnancy are the same to a certain extent as those
February, 1995 67
found in normal pregnancy, even the formation of a decidua vera. If the ovum dies these changes are arrested; otherwise they progress, although at a much slower rate than in intra-uterine pregnancy. The decidua, however, do not keep pace with the uterus and are usually thrown off en masse, simulating abortion. Exceptionally they are retained to term, when so-called false labor occurs.
Thus we see that the early gestation in the tube is practically the same as in the uterus with the exception of its chorionic villi which extend deeper, or rather through into the muscular wall - due to the thinness of the parts in the tube. Up to a certain point the tubal gestation is identical with the intra-uterine gestation. Up to a certain point the uterus keeps pace with the tubal gestation and actually forms a decidua, enlarges, softens, grows darker in color, and in fact takes on all the early features of pregnancy. It is playing the part of a disappointed hostess. It had expected and was fully prepared to receive the fecundated ovum had it not been delayed. Even then it seems hopeful, and continues to develop, though slowly, and if the ectopic pregnancy goes on to full term the uterus will be seen at that time to be as large as a four months' natural pregnancy. Does it not look possible then for an early tubal pregnancy to be transplanted into the uterus where everything is ready and waiting for it? Nearly every surgeon who has done any great amount of work has come upon unsuspected cases of ectopic pregnancy while in the abdomen for other purposes. So far as I can learn, everyone ofthese has been removed, together with the tube, without even an attempt having been made to save either. This has been the proper thing to do. Everybody did it. In some cases it is the only thing to do yet. Early diagnosis of ectopic pregnancy is next to impossible unless it is accidentally discovered. And until someone finds a way to make a more definite diagnosis it will continue to be the method. However, when we do find an early case, where the tube is still in a healthy condition, not too badly distended, and all things favorable, I think we should make a supreme attempt to save the life of the growing child by opening the tube carefully and dissecting out the pregnancy intact and transplanting it into the uterus where nature intended it should go. It can be very q uickl y done. It does not endanger the life of the mother and maybe her only chance to bear a child. In support of this theory I wish to report a case which will show without doubt that it can be done.
68
September 13, 1915, Mrs. W.J. W., age 27; housewife; American; of good appearance with dark complexion; menstruation regular; married five years; no children; no miscarriages; constipated; urine normal; nervous; pulse normal; temperature normal. Family history negative. Personal history negative except that she had been told by one physician she had a fibroid in the posterior wall of the uterus. I found this to be true. She was very anxious to have children. Her husband was a fine, clean, well built man, of good habits. September 15, 1915. Operated on for fibroid and when abdomen was opened, we found an ectopic gestation in the left tube at outer part of isthmus. The tube was very soft and healthy, enlarged to the size of a walnut but not distended. The uterus showed the same shade of darkening color. The fibroid was about the size of a large hen's egg and extended into cavity of uterus. On removing the fibroid I was compelled to make a clean cut incision encircling the tumor and into the cavity of the uterus, extending down to and involving the inner os.
Linacre Quarterly
Knowing their anxiety for raising a child, I decided to try, at least, the only thing at hand - to transplant the ectopic pregnancy. I knew it could be easily removed from the cavity of the uterus if it did not grow to the wall and be retained and nourished to full development. Had it failed to attach itself it could have easily been dislodged by the use of a curette.
However, I was not called upon to remove it as all went well. The tumor removed, I left the uterus protected while I carefully opened the tube and dissected the pregnancy out intact, being careful not to injure the sac in any way by keeping wide away and including part of the tube-wall. It came out very easily and was in size about equal to a large olive. It was at once placed within the cavity of the opened uterus and caught by two of the sutures of the inner row of plain No. I catgut used in closing the wound in the uterus. The tube was closed in like manner and left in place. The patient was watched carefully for any hemmorrhage, vaginal discharge, or signs of trouble for two weeks with no symptoms whatever. She left the hospital on the 14th day after a complete recovery. The pregnancy went on normally to full term and resulted in the natural birth of a fine boy, fully developed and without a scar, May 2, 1916. No doubt the raw surface of the edges of the wound in the uterus was instrumental in the perfect attachment of the transplant. They gave a good source of blood supply to the raw surface of the detached sac or tube-wall, thus enabling it to adhere readily.
I have not the least doubt that many such transplanted ectopic pregnancies will be reported in the near future. We may and will have failures in this as in other transplantation procedures, but there is not the danger involved in this transplantation that there is in many of the others. Certainly it is worth the most extreme effort in favorable cases. At this time it is of course difficult to differentiate the favorable case and this matter must be left to the judgment of the surgeon. The conditon of the tube and surrounding circumstances such as the stage of development, inflammatory conditions, adhesions, displacements, and wishes of the mother must all be considered.

MIDDLETOWN, Ohio -- Ohio Rep. Candice Keller, R-Middletown, says she would not have appeared on an Internet podcast if she had known the host pushes an agenda for the existence of our race and a future for white children.
The freshman state representative in February went on the Sonny Thomas Show to promote her proposed legislation that would crackdown on cities that refuse to enforce federal immigration laws.
Thomas, who is founder of the Springboro Tea Party, has made local and national headlines after he unfurled a Confederate flag at a Springboro school board meeting in a speech defending Constitution classes canceled by the district and his unsuccessful run to unseat an Ohio GOP committee member.
Keller compared Planned Parenthood to Nazis on her Facebook page last week, drawing fire on social media from supporters of the organization and others who felt it was inappropriate.
Keller, who is also executive director of the Community Pregnancy Center in Middletown, posted a meme that included the statement, One day we will look back at this with an arrow pointing to the Planned Parenthood logo, and then the same way we look back at this, with an arrow pointing to the Nazi swastika.
Keller is a Pro-Life advocate and has voiced her opinions against abortion in the past on her Twitter and Facebook accounts.
Just as the Nazis took the lives of millions of innocent people and sold their valuables for profit, Planned Parenthood has done likewise as we have seen in hidden camera videos, she said in a written statement. Planned Parenthood is a horrific industry that profits from the innocent and the American people should be appalled at their unconscionable activities.

(21,432 posts)It is medically impossible.
So when an ectopic pregnancy occurs and they treat it properly with medication or surgery to abort the embryo, let the fools find a prosecutor foolish enough to bring charges. No conviction would ever hold, even if they could find 12 people dumb enough to convict.
There is not even a strategic reason for this insanity. If there was a conviction that would of course be appealed, the appeal is a slam dunk win for physician and patient. Nothing to be argued even in an appeals court.
Even the harrassment of doctors and women would achieve nothing. It is not abortion doctors who treat ectopic pregnancies. It is ordinary ob-gyn docs who discover the problem in their patient.
So there is no intimidation value in this insanity. A doctor would be more intimidated by NOT treating a woman's ectopic pregnancy appropriately since it would kill her if left untreated.
Not a strategic move, just an insane one.

(4,552 posts)If the Ohio state legislature makes Docs perform operations which are not acceptable or safe or legal, then I guess this means that other medical professionals can start to use drugs and other procedures currently not accepatable or approved by the AMA or FDA. Pretty sure that Docs get in trouble when they prescribe drugs for off-label purposes.
This is total nonsense and we need to make it clear that it wont stand.

(47,399 posts)say "Its god's will, blah, blah, blah". Well if that was true, perhaps it wasn't god's will that this child be born, because if he wanted the pregnancy to be viable, he'd have made sure the embryo was planted in the uterus in the first place. But then again, "God works in mysterious ways and we cannot know what is in his heart", except of course when it is convenient for their extremist agendas.
These people are totally nuts!

What happens with the "surplus" embryos is another example of interpreting "God's" will to mean one's own.
Years ago, I read an article about Christian couples giving up their frozen offspring to be implanted and raised by other Christian couples. No matter how carefully the couples are vetted, there is still a chance that those people could change their belief system. Also, if God "willed" the successful fertilization of a number of eggs, it seems as if He would have wanted the parents to carry and raise them all in their own family. Farming your kids out to be raised by others seems lacking in a sense of responsibility.
Then there are the legislators who have publicly stated that they don't have a problem with embryos conceived in labs being destroyed. As long as the woman isn't pregnant; they have no interest in interfering.
BTW, saw a sign online that proclaimed the message that the Liberals are "all about control".
PatSeg
(47,399 posts)To these people, "God's will" is whatever they want and by some miracle, they don't like the same things that god doesn't like! I mean, that must be some kind of divine sign right there.
From what I've observed among fundamentalist Christians I've known, it is just intellectually laziness. Whenever confronted with a challenging question or decision, they pull out their standard cliches, God's will, the bible says (you can find a quote to justify pretty much anything in the bible), god's plan, etc. This is why it is pointless to argue with such people. They'll never respond to reason, evidence, or facts.
"Liberals are all about control"??? That is hysterical! Translation: "Liberals don't agree with me".

(1,121 posts)is that there are decent people still residing in this state (most due to work, family commitments or, as in my case, an inability to sell a home), but their voices have been muted primarily by gerrymandering. While always leaning conservative and controlled by its business patrons, Ohio has become alarming more extremist in its governing over the past two decades. Along with the entrenched business interest, the rural and theocratic constituencies dominate all legislation and governmental operations at the state and most local levels (except for the large urban areas). It's rapidly trying to achieve 'worst in the nation' status in most metrics - most recently as having the highest number of ER visits by those receiving Medicaid. It's a dubious distinction that most societies wouldn't want, but one that the Republicans in this state seem to crave - a race to the bottom. Very sad and disturbing.

This is soooooooo ridiculously anti-science that I don't even know what to say. WTF is wrong with these legislators that they think they can order medical professionals to perform a procedure that does not even exist?
Might as well order physicians to raise people from the dead. Equally impossible.

(741 posts)... but the abject stupidity of these people leaves me speechless. The hypocrisy of conservative lawmakers that demand smaller government using government authority to force their christo-fascist views on others.
And the absolute stupidity it takes to vote these clowns into office. There are no words that can sufficiently describe these idiots because the former effective words, nazi, fascist, pharisee, misogynist have all been nerfed.

(2,149 posts)An enforceable law cannot require an impossibility. They can pass it but medical science doesn't exist to do anything remotely close.
Wait...the Ohio legislature just put a law on the books that proclaimed science is irrelevant in school if you have deeply held religious beliefs consistent with the actual answer you put on your quiz as a student, or something like that, didn't they? So under the law in Ohio, I have to extrapolate that facts, logic, and reason are irrelevant and may in fact be evidence of guilt because Satan?

(44,973 posts)then such doctor will face charges of murder if this bill were to pass. Considering it's impossible to re-implant the fetus, doctors aborting ectopic pregnancies will be charged with murder if this bill passes.

(7,947 posts)>Ohios move on ectopic pregnancies where an embryo implants on the mothers fallopian tube rather than her uterus rendering the pregnancy unviable>
Ectopic pregnancies are life-threatening emergencies. Treating them like saving the pregnancy is what matters is truly saying that young women should die, and that physicians should be forced to be complicit in this.
A friend of mine had an ectopic pregnancy some years ago, and she almost died, and lost that fallopian tube so her fertility was affected.
I am appalled that the men and women of the Ohio legislature would be so eager to risk the lives of young women. I hate always saying this, but "What if it were your daughter? Your wife? YOU?" (But of course, in that case, they'd take their loved one out of state-- they only want other women to risk death.)

(16,935 posts)If for some reason a dr. would try to remove an embryo from a Fallopian tube to a uterus, which would probably kill a woman or victimized child, leaving the embryo to die as well? And are there any laws on the books barring drs. from performing useless operations on humans? Or laws against lying to people stupid enough to think a dr. could do the impossible?
I don't know how these stupid people got elected. I was born in Ohio and lived here my whole life and the politicians just get stupider and stupider.

(21,560 posts)Ohio's House has 99 seats. 38D and 61 Rethugs
since Ds are not insane, safe to say all 38 will oppose this. That leaves us needing 12 sane rethugs (a lofty goal) needed to kill this bill. That's about 20% of their caucus.
Even if it passed, passed the Senate, and became law, it is hard to fathom any court upholding a law requiring people to do something impossible. Why not just make it a law that if someone is burned to death that doctors have to attempt to glue their ashes back together, or face murder charges? Basically the same thing.............
LudwigPastorius
(9,137 posts)They may has well have passed a law requiring doctors to use a matter-to-energy conversion device to beam the embryo out of the woman, accelerate its age to 40 weeks, and genetically alter it to insure that it votes Republican when it turns 18.

(21,432 posts)post here, although I read most of them.
Nobody has mentioned the fact that the majority of ectopic pregnancies occur INSIDE the fallopuan tube. The article says "ON the tube" which is misleading. The embryo gets stuck inside the fallopisn tube due to scar tisdue from infections (endometriosis) or to a misshapen tube.
The interior space in a tube is miniscule, so it does not take long for the growth of the embryo to push against the walls of the tube or to be able to burst the tube, causing peritonitis and hemorrhaging. It can occur within a short time after the woman finds out she is pregnant. By the time she has symptoms, it is a full blown emergency.
Less often, the embryo develops elsewhere -- the abdominal cavity or on an ovary. .
But regardless of where it is, it has to be removed. If left in place, the mother will die. Since re-implantation is medically impossible, the embryo is already doomed. Only the mother can be saved and only by abortion.
LisaL
(44,973 posts)don't know shit about medical science. They want embryo relocated into the uterus (which isn't possible) or the doctor would face murder charges.

(21,432 posts)Isn"t it murder, or at least negiigent homicude, to knowingly use an improper procedure that causes death, e.g. to experiment medically on a patient with a medically impossinle procedure?
