As someone who lives in Alberta, please don’t just dismiss this as “they’re bat shit crazy”… I mean like yea, half my neighbours ARE bat shit crazy supporters of this shit.

But they’re also loud voices, and too many people outside of Alberta are starting to listen to the crazy and agreeing.

The educated voices here need your help to shut this shit down now or we’re going to see this cancer spread.

Please point out to your friends and colleagues just how terrible this thinking is while they’ll still listen. Or the next prime minister will be someone who thinks the same way.

I can see you’re clearly not interested in understanding the situation the physician was in or discussing solutions that would have saved this patient’s life.

I’m not going to debate you further.

Do you hear yourself?

It was an emergency because she died?

She died days after it was too late for an abortion to save her.

If they performed the abortion when it would have saved her life, she wouldn’t have died, by your own logic it would’n’ve been an emergency.

And you’d be here arguing that the doctor should lose his license for performing an abortion when it wasn’t an emergency.

Yes.

That’s the problem with this law.

It takes the decision away from the medical experts, and puts in the hands of lawyers and judges who may or may not have a different agenda.

Any doctor that performs an abortion in Texas is risking a minimum $100,000 fine and permanently losing there license to practice medicine if lawyers, who are not medical professionals, decide it was medically necessary yet.

As a result, doctors in TX have been advised by their lawyers not to perform abortions unless the mother is literally minutes away from death, because otherwise you can’t prove that it was medically necessary.

In the case, the patient died of sepsis. Doctors couldn’t perform the abortion when she needed it because they couldn’t prove that it was medically necessary yet.

They knew that not performing the abortion would put mom at a much high risk of dying later. But they couldn’t legally prove that risk exists because all pregnancies involve some degree of risk.

If you want doctors to perform medical procedures when it’s medically necessary, you need doctors making that decision, not lawyers, not the state. That’s what Texas had before this law went into effect.

It’s literally created a trolly problem, it’s now better for the doctors to let some women die so they can save more lives later.

Not all of them.

The Dobbs decision that overturned Roe v. Wade, was later.

But this was just days after Texas SB 8, 87th Regular Session went into effect. Which added two major laws related to abortion: the prohibition of abortion after a fetal heartbeat is detected and the ability to file a civil lawsuit against anyone who provides or facilitates an abortion.

Doctors were warned by their lawyers that if they provided an ‘abortion’ after a fetal heartbeat was detected (the case here) that they would be sued and likely lose their license if they lost.

Free contraceptives is also a more effective way of preventing abortions than banning abortions.

You need to add a — at the end to make the rest of the line a comment.

It’s not quite as crazy as it seems. The older/larger floppy disk formats were more reliable due to their lower track density.

There was more surface area per byte of data. The old floppy disks could be written once and read for years in harsher environments. New floppy disks we more prone to failure after a few years.

I can understand that a doctor might personally be against termination of a pregnancy when it isn’t medically necessary. I don’t agree, but I can understand being against it.

But even if you’re a doctor that feels that way, do you really want the state second guessing your decision if you performed an emergency abortion that was medically necessary?

Even a pro-life doctor should be 100% against the state getting involved in a patient’s medical decisions.

The problem with all “abortions are illegal except in cases where the mother’s life is at risk” laws is who gets to decide when the mother’s life is at sufficiently at risk?

Any pregnancy is a risk to the mother’s life to some extent. The only person who should be making the decision of how much risk it too much is the mother after an informed and private discussion with her doctor.

These stupid laws today make it so that even if it’s an emergency, any doctor performing an abortion is taking a risk that the state won’t agree it was an emergency (or perhaps that it wasn’t an emergency yet). That means that even in an emergency it gets left to the last minute where it’s high risk for everyone.

The only way to actually be pro-life and make abortions safe when it’s medically required. Is to make abortion legal and left as a decision between a woman and her doctor.

America avoiding giving money to low income schools?

I’m shocked, shocked I tell you.
