Texas: Where healthcare just means more (if you’re a man)

Yes they are. It is the law. This is a play in the courts and media. Texas law allows for the exception. If the mothers life is in jeopardy. Abortion is an option.

 

It's in the courts and media because Texas won't allow doctors to apply the exemption so you're not entirely wrong for a change.

 

Gotta say…I chuckle at the ignorance! So many here attach my screen name to whatever qanaon is. I know it from afar it is some right wing conspiracy thing. But you are better than this.

You had to have seen my daughters picture in softball threads and our conversing on softball with Quinn “Q”uinn on the back.

On a side note is your daughter in high school yet. Think she is not quite there. What high school will she be going to. Would be cool to meet up if we play each other in the next few years as we will play some Clermont and Orlando Schools.

 

Possible. But doubtful. This is more likely lawyers looking to make a name for themselves. But again. That is just an opinion without the facts. Educated opinion though. As we saw with the quote from the one lady who left Texas that swampbabe used as an example…sure did not look like her life was in jeopardy. But again. That is based on a quote from the media.

If a doctor can document that the mothers life is in jeopardy. The procedure is legal. And that is the way it should be. Killing a child for any other reason should be illegal.

 

From what we know Kate Cox’s life was not threatened. Do you have evidence it was?

 

No they are not. Your thread title says otherwise.

That said. You are fixated on Kate Cox. Do you have evidence her life was threatened?

 

If the doctors truly believed her life was in jeopardy they were 100% legally allowed to terminate the pregnancy.

 

Kate Cox's life wasn't in imminent danger. But in cases of Trisomy 18, there is only one ending for the fetus. And that's death, 99.9% of the time either in utero, or within a week of birth.

For the woman, the diagnosis means she becomes a ticking time bomb. The longer she carries, the greater the risk of sepsis. There's a chance she never "goes off" and carries too term with no complications. But again? The longer she carries, the greater the risk.

Once a woman is in sepsis, her life is in danger. If she lives, being septic also means risking future complications for future pregnancies. Which begs the question. If the fetus' outcome was always death within weeks of diagnosis, why force Kate Cox to become septic before giving her care?

Again, no change for the fetus regardless of what Kate did. Abort early, and Kate has practically no risk of death or other complications from sepsis. Or, force Kate to wait and hope, despite increasing odds, Kate never gets sepsis. And if she does, it's abortion with greater risk for Kate.

Can somebody please tell me, if the outcome for the fetus is always the same, what's the point of putting Kate at higher risk?

 

So what you're saying is that because her life wasn't threatened she should have been forced to carry a fetus which could die in utero and even if carried to term would not survive very long after birth even though Kate Cox was experiencing serious medical problems which necessitated multiple visits to the emergency room and her future fertility could have been in jeopardy.

 

So why not just say that at the start? Would’ve save 4 pages of arguing.

 

i live in Texas.

 

I'm thankful my daughter was able to make her own choice on an abortion before these neanderthals were allowed to outlaw it in Texas. Though we would have just gone to another state for it, a lot of people don't have that option.

 

A decade ago folks laughed when American Taliban was mentioned. Oh the righteous and their burkas and pool boys

 

Exemption - chipping away.
