Nobody read that mess until it was instituted.
Most people don't understand it now, 10+ years later.
As CP alluded to: The messy parts have to be sorted out on the fly.
Nothing to hyperventilate about.
Golfboy seems to think that when a woman is told that carrying a fetus to term might kill her, that would be a good time to go doctor shopping.Cannonpointer » 09 Mar 2023, 11:21 pm » wrote: ↑In colorado.
A lot of your lower class types don't have plenty of options when it comes to doctors. They can't even get enough ID to vote. Just enough ID to buy gin.

If I were a woman who was forced to carry a dead fetus in my uterus I might just hyperventilate about that.
Her water broke at 19 weeks. She was told that she was not yet sick enough to receive an abortion, then twice became septic, and was left with so much scar tissue that one of her fallopian tubes is permanently closed.golfboy » 09 Mar 2023, 11:13 pm » wrote: ↑Yet she had time to go to Colorado and find a doctor...Misty » 09 Mar 2023, 11:11 pm » wrote: ↑ Do you go doctor shopping when you are having a medical emergency?
Yea, not an emergency.

And in the meantime more women will become ill, or infertile or possibly die.DeezerShoove » 09 Mar 2023, 11:51 pm » wrote: ↑You choose to hyperventilate about the political issue instead.Misty » 09 Mar 2023, 11:40 pm » wrote: ↑ I don't know.

If you were a woman
If you were pregnant
If your unborn human was dead
I daresay at least two of those are not valid situations.
Besides, the legal system is now engaged.
It will reach a conclusion with or without your or my opinion, hyperventilating, chatroom insistence, etc.
They should go to Courageous Doctor Practice, LLC in Midland, Texas. It's really close to everywhere else in Texas - within 500, maybe 600 miles.Misty » 09 Mar 2023, 11:43 pm » wrote: ↑ Golfboy seems to think that when a woman is told that carrying a fetus to term might kill her, that would be a good time to go doctor shopping.

Especially the ones who can't afford to travel to another state to get the medical treatment they need.
I don't know what you mean about the legal system being engaged.
Even if these women win their case, that's no guarantee that Texas will change that law or even fix it.
It's easy to determine if a baby is dead. A simple sonogram will do that.Nobody » 09 Mar 2023, 11:36 pm » wrote: ↑ FYI the majority of early term surgical abortions are done by D and C.
The procedures are the same whether the fetus is alive or not.
Is the state of Texas going to require doctors to somehow prove that a fetus was dead before they remove it?
How exactly will that work?
Are they going to station deputies in every surgical facility to examine the women and check for a fetal heartbeat before they allow the procedure to take place?
Have you thought any of this through?
The law is clear. This woman's selective abortion was legal in Texas.Nobody » 10 Mar 2023, 12:06 am » wrote: ↑
She needed what's called a selective abortion to save her life and the life of one of the twins she was carrying, but could not get that in Texas.
Threats of prison sentences of up to 99 years, $100,000 fines and the loss of medical licenses has scared doctors into not providing abortions even in cases where the law would seem to allow them.
But have no fear, without knowing anything about these women or what they endured, Doctor Golfboy says there wasn't any emergency that required them to get medical care without delay.
