Yeah the absolute best-case scenario is they think “oh that’s too bad but it’s a fair sacrifice to save all the babies”. But most don’t even think that.
Obgyn is kinda weird about doing D and Cs in the first trimester. The details matter here for them. They will let people sit for a week sometimes.
The second ER doc not giving what I assume is misoprostol is weird for a couple reasons. The obgyn on call should have been able to do it without an ER visit. The obgyn on call should have been able to do it at the ER visit. Is it strictly medically necessary? Not 100%, but I think so.
While the law is an issue, it’s not like they weren’t providing care here. They already gave the “abortion pill”. The D&C was delayed, and that happens. Sounds like she didn’t even get blood? IDK.
Tough to tell from the story exactly, but the whole process goes that way sometimes while everyone is following the standard of care and has laws that are just. Spontaneous abortions can be rough as hell, and it’s frankly not talked about enough how common they are
Two abortion-inducing drugs could soon be reclassified as controlled and dangerous substances in Louisiana under a first-of-its-kind bill that received final legislative passage Thursday and is expected to be signed into law by the governor.
Supporters of the reclassification of mifepristone and misoprostol, commonly known as “abortion pills,” say it would protect expectant mothers from coerced abortions. Numerous doctors, meanwhile, have said it will make it harder for them to prescribe the medicines that they use for other important reproductive health care needs, and could delay treatment.
Louisiana currently has a near-total abortion ban in place, applying both to surgical and medical abortions. The GOP-dominated Legislature’s push to reclassify mifepristone and misoprostol could possibly open the door for other Republican states with abortion bans that are seeking tighter restrictions on the drugs.
Current Louisiana law already requires a prescription for both drugs and makes it a crime to use them to induce an abortion in most cases. The bill would make it harder to obtain the pills by placing it on the list of Schedule IV drugs under the state’s Uniform Controlled Dangerous Substances Law.
Looks like this Clark fellow went to the Mehdi Hasan school of journalism. Hopefully he gets a shot at some bigger fish. Doubt he will though. They will just duck him.
R guy fucked up there, you’re just supposed to say “that was differerent” (his supporters will know what was “different”) or go on the attack “this kind of gotcha journalism is why no one trusts the mainstream media anymore!”. Never explain,
Horribly “life” inconsistent. But then they don’t care about the baby after it’s born. I’d expect that strip mall surgery center cesareans would not be as safe???
