Anyone know what the medication was? I skimmed the article and I didn’t see it mentioned. Maybe I just missed it.
Doesn’t say. They also effed with her insurance and contacted her partner without her consent.

The article mentioned something like she didn’t even know what the medication was because the doctor wouldn’t tell her the name, just that there was a “highly effective” medication that he was keeping a secret from her because she was of child-bearing age. Not sure what to make of that.

That’s kinda messed up. Like why tell someone unless it’s to infuse them with the morality that justifies denial of care? Using cruelty to teach lessons reinforced by the pain of disobedience is unfortunately the Strict Father way.
I’m just feeling for her or anyone in that spot.

I spent a couple of minutes looking into it and my best guess is that it was Ergomar or some other ergotamine-containing medication.
Fun fact: If you’ve got Walter White level skills you could turn it into LSD.
Wouldn’t want to tell her what to get from someone else.
Hopefully she’s got good evidence to document the malfeasance. I expect them to circle the wagons if it’s he said/she said.
Alabama jails a woman as a danger to her fetus. They the proceed to deny her all prenatal care for months and dismissed her distress until she ended up giving birth on a shower stall and lost half her blood
The cruelty is the point.
Today we got the latest dump of data on the question from the Society of Family Planning and the numbers continue to back up the claim that Dobbs has had a very small impact on aggregate abortions. In fact, according to the most recent SFP data, Americans are having more abortions now than they were prior to Dobbs.

Streisand effect?
Probably so and probably an environmental effect. More women thinking that a state that bans abortion probably doesn’t have a woman’s well being in mind and as such it’s better to get an abortion.

Was a 15 week abortion ban, but conservatives realized that ban doesn’t poll well so they’re asked the WaPo to call it a limit. WaPo is obliging with the obligatory “that Democrats call a ban”
Limit seems more accurate unless you’re going into more detail like “ban on abortions after 15 weeks”.
Ohio GOP is apparently going to bank on “Fuck you, no” remaining undefeated.

How is the Ohio legislature going to enforce their version of the law over the Ohio Constitution? There are tons of laws still on books that would never get enforced because they’re unconstitutional. Law enforcement isn’t going to spend a dime pursuing whatever the legislature’s version of the law is when their state Constitution says something else. The Constitution supersedes the legislature. If that’s the case, what would be the point of law enforcement action? All they can try to do is pull funding until a lawsuit happens the next day and then gets slapped down by a court until it’s heard somewhere for real. Their statements are toothless and stupid but that’s the corrupt Ohio legislature for you.
But they’re considering removing jurisdiction from the judiciary, something they’re definitely empowered to do.
Ohio has a ghoulish Supreme Court, no? They may just go along with it.
Ohio judiciary? How does that jibe with arresting people for getting abortions?
And it will 100% work.
