Why?

Listening to her mom and two sisters in all their pain describing what happened in the Oprah town hall was devastating. We need a national right to abortion, with huge penalties to any state that attempts to keep a woman and a doctor from doing what's in the mother's best interest. No "life of the mother" nonsense. No "health of the mother" nonsense. This needs to end.
We can't have rights that differ from one state to another. We need to drop this provincial nonsense about rights.

Religous nutcases need to keep their fairy tales out of our government(s). This includes Jews, Christians, Moslems, Sikhs, Buddhist, Hindus, and Satan Worshipers. I think the world would be a better place if these folks practiced their faiths in private and left the rest of us out of their BS indocrinations.

It's not just religious people who want restrictions on abortion and other things that terminate human lives.

The headline is a lie. She went to another state and got a chemical abortion. The doctors never followed up with her. Georgia does not have a law against removing a dead fetus from the womb. No state does. She could have had it removed in Georgia. The dead fetus (if memory serves it was twins) turned septic and caused her death.

She could have had it (the dead foetus) removed in Georgia.

But instead she begged the doctors not to do it.
Idiot.

It's always amazing how Bellringer literally never has a clue what's going on or how the world works...especially laws.
Makes me wonder if he's allowed to leave the house.

Easy. He makes it up.
He called it "shooting from the hip"; I call it lying.

" Religious people always know what is the will of god and what is not."
And (what a stunner!) it turns out God ALWAYS agrees with what the religious want!

If it's not throwing strawmen into a debate on something completely unrelated, it's unabashed gaslighting, which is why I call him "Strawlighter". FTA:
Finger-pointing is dishonest to a grotesque extreme. Thurman's death is not due to her choice to take medication abortion, which has a mortality rate of .0003%, which is 1 in every 377,000 cases. (Out of 377,000 women who give birth, in contrast, 83 will die.) Thurman, as the report makes clear, would have almost certainly survived if she had received the pre-Dobbs standard of care, which is an immediate removal of an incomplete miscarriage. But Georgia's law, as written, makes this a felony. As ProPublica explained: It prohibits doctors from using any instrument "with the purpose of terminating a pregnancy." While removing fetal tissue is not terminating a pregnancy, medically speaking, the law only specifies it's not considered an abortion to remove "a dead unborn child" that resulted from a "spontaneous abortion" defined as "naturally occurring" from a miscarriage or a stillbirth. [Strawlighter is] lying about this, so here is a link to the bill. As anyone can see, no exception is made to cover emergency care for a woman who deliberately induced her own miscarriage. Abortion opponents are insisting the doctors would not have gotten in legal trouble for saving Thurman's life. However, this is not how the law is written. But even if it was, doctors still had every reason to be afraid. If Thurman had received timely medical care and survived, a right-wing prosecutor could argue she wasn't that sick to begin with. That's the double bind of these supposed "exceptions."

I knew this was coming because I know the sources you like to use tend to lie by omission:
Right in the law:
19 HB 481/AP 97 98 (3) 'Medical emergency' means a condition in which an abortion is necessary in order to prevent the death of the pregnant woman or the substantial and irreversible physical impairment of a major bodily function of the pregnant woman
A dead fetus will eventually become septic if not removed. Therefore no hospital would have been at risk of violating the law.
You linked tje law, Tony Roma. That's good of you however you should have taken the time to peruse through it.

Flint Water Jeff is thrilled that his child-raping hero killed another black woman.

He knows way, way, way more than all the doctors, hospital lawyers, and health care practitioners, doesn't he? They should have a hotline to him so he can let them all know what they can and can't do in all these situations.
Florida's so bad about this that they finally, under pressure from an Amendment legalizing abortion, have published "guidelines" on when a woman can receive proper medical care. It's all bullshht on their part, and Florida's government is blatantly using tax payer money to defeat the amendment instead of complying with law.
This story is a tragedy that never ever should have happened. Trump did this. MAGAts did this. The Sharia Supreme Court Six did this. People like Jeff enabled it.
