Ruth Bader Ginsburg says first-trimester abortion is 'far-safer than childbirth' while eviscerating controversial Louisiana bill

Ruth Bader Ginsburg dismantled a controversial Louisiana abortion bill during an hour of arguments at the US Supreme Court this week, systematically striking down components of the law she previously opposed during a preliminary vote.

The 86-year-old Supreme Court justice seemed to aggressively push back against demands from lawyers representing the Trump administration and state of Louisiana to approve the legislation during Wednesday’s arguments.

“If the woman has a problem, it will be her local hospital that she will need to go to for the care, not something 30 miles from the clinic, which does not have a necessary relationship to where she lives”, she said.

Moreover, the justice argued that women who have abortions rarely ever require medical treatment afterwards.

“Most of the people who get abortions never have any need to go to a hospital, isn't that so?" she asked the attorneys, later adding: “You don't dispute … that among medical procedures, first-trimester abortion is among the safest, far safer than childbirth."

The attorneys acknowledged that, while women occasionally require hospitalization after having an abortion, it’s “often true” that they do not.

The justice reminded attorneys that the Supreme Court “already held that admitting privileges served no medical benefit”.

“There is not even a plausible conflict in this case”, she said, according to a transcript of the arguments.

Most of the people who ride in a car never have any need for a seat belt, isn’t that so?

Killing a mother’s living children is also much safer for her than childbirth

If someone impregnated her, the fetus would probably self-abort.

Medically, that may be true.”

It’s absolutely not true.

Statistic for mother and child: If you are one of these two people involved in an abortion, your chances of survival is less than 50%. If involve in child birth, then the chances of survival are almost certain.

Gee, I didn't know RBG was a medical professional! Is she board certified, too?

Maybe she consults with Jill Biden.

So Bader-Meinhoff Ginsburg is disapproving of abortions after the first trimester?

From Bing:

“Requiring admitting privileges ensures that abortion doctors are vetted by their peers”

Did she re-write the bill to render it evisceratable? Or did she base her opinion on foreign law?

There has to be a special place in Hell for people who use the words “safe” and “abortion” in the same sentence.

True.

Or "Ginsberg" in a sentence with "human." "Murder enabler" might work.

She has no concern for how the soon to be killed baby feels about it. Babies can't vote for the Dems so do not count. Sick stuff.

"Maybe RBG consults with Jill Biden (re:abortion)".

She probably does.....seeing that Dr. Jill Biden's degrees are in Education and English, not in anything medical.
