Not sure why they call abortion an “medical procedure”
Seems like the very opposite of a medical procedure.
Well perhaps the woman should have been using contraception; if she didn’t have/couldn’t get contraception then she should have stayed abstinent.
“Sounds ridiculous, but that’s the way officials in Ohio and Texas have interpreted emergency health orders...”
Ridiculous?!? F-off, you ghouls.
The baby killing is what’s reprehensible. What a sickening article!
I bet it makes a dent in the death count, and should be accounted for.
I bet also if instead of just lives you count YEARS OF LIFE ... who knows, Corona might wind up causing more total human life. There's going to be a wave of Corona babies in 9 - 12 months too.
Wow...
>>As attempts to exploit the COVID-19 pandemic go, here’s a reprehensible one: the effort by some conservative states to halt abortions by arguing that they are “nonessential” medical procedures.
I’ve seen several articles about Rat governors prohibiting citizens from using certain prescribed FDA approved drugs to treat CV-19.
Isn’t this a privacy issue between a doctor and patient?
Priorities. These folks never have to be responsible. STDs, AIDS/HIV, etc. will never stop irresponsible behavior of liberals. The rest of society must put things like urgent surgeries on hold while they demand remedies for their poor choices.
I eagerly agreed with postponing a surgery that was scheduled for this week, understanding that this virus crisis is more important. Sure, I can endure broken hardware until we all get a handle on this issue. But, these people can’t do anything for anyone else even in a pandemic. Sad.
Y’know... When I was in high school and we found out my kidneys were failing, it didn’t stop me from having sex with the man I ultimately dated for nearly a decade and almost married (he was a cheater), BUT - I used two forms of contraception at all times until I had a tubal ligation. Ultimately, it was only two years, but I always had some combination of pill and OTC contraceptive. No exceptions. If I, as a teen then, could afford it (before ACA), so can the average woman out there. Hell; the average man can afford it. The condoms go on them, after all.
The PPE needs to go to medical staff performing life-saving care, including dialysis centers. My father drove by the one I used to go to, and there were only four cars in the lot at 15:30 on a Friday. Prime dialysis time here. I hope they pushed patients towards at-home dialysis temporarily.
In any case, unless the mother’s life is, literally, in imminent danger, I see no reason to terminate at all.
Leftists don’t like when Atheists like me hold any opinion other than, “all abortion is good! let’s kill all uterine-dwellers!”
I get CAPS lock cruise control.
Clearly not essential, if a woman is pregnant, and gets no abortion treatment, the condition resolves itself in 9 months
