These women had to suffer and die to appease the sky man who said NOTHING ABOUT ABORTION.

I hold Trump responsible for m/uc10h
b3ut the crazy anti-abortion right wing; a/k/a Nazi Christians, own the unnecessary deaths of those women. Evangelical Ch1ristianity is a death cult. The politicians who pander to them are totally immoral creatures hiding in plain sight disguised as guardians of everyo5ne else's morality. I, for one, resent their intrusion into private .matters that are none of their God damned business.

News Release 29-Jul-2026

University of Liverpool researchers have identified that hospital admissions in England for ectopic pregnancy (when a fertilised egg implants outside the womb) have been increasing since 2021, with more than twice as many admissions of women from most deprived areas than the least deprived areas.

Doesn't look like access to abortion is helping in England to reduce ectopic pregnancy related deaths.

" Doesn't look like access to abortion is helping in England to reduce ectopic pregnancy related deaths."

That's two DIFFERENT equations. And no reference to historical trends.

You've got to hand it to our grand ol' party lawmakers. They claimed these abortion bans wouldn't hurt women with ectopic pregnancies, and now ectopic deaths have nearly doubled, especially in the very states where they passed them. That isn't an unintended consequence. That's just good old-fashioned GOP efficiency. Leave it to a bunch of grandstanding Republican politicians to turn a standard, routine medical procedure into a game of Russian roulette, leaving terrified doctors to consult a defense attorney before saving a dying woman's life. All the stuff they taught me about Jesus says he'd be against this. No wonder he has given up on coming back.

Doubled.

More than twice as many.

How did abortion bans in the US cause double the number while twice as many in England that has more abortion rights.

Google a worldwide search. It's increasing worldwide.

Trump and the GOP really hate women throughout the world. Abortion bans in the US has far reaching effects.

"Doubled. More than twice as many."

Again, you're mixing equations. Double IN THE POORER AREAS, v. the wealthier areas.

Meanwhile, increases of 3% to 4%, NOT 100%.

Also, from your link:
Authors suggest this increase may reflect demographic changes such as rising maternal age, increased rates of risk factors such as obesity, and disruption to hospitals and maternity services due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

I'm not disagreeing with your main point, just some of the specifics around it.

My mother nearly died from an ectopic pregnancy. Saving her life also ended her fertility. It's the reason I am the youngest. Men will spend copious amounts of money treating sex with women as a pastime. Women risk their lives to keep them entertained.

So much is taken for granted.

How so? How is it "fake"?

For years, conservative politicians have argued that American medical innovation, specialized treatments, and advanced technology made the U.S. system the best in the world.

Why should problems with pregnancies in other countries affect our own healthcare systems?

Ectopic pregnancies aren't covered in the Bible, and therefore don't exist. If in doubt,
life is sacred until the moment of birth with the GOP.

Has it occurred to you some women enjoy sex as well?

do you agree with that?

I'm guessing you don't....so why are you pointing to it?

I asked you first. Don't deflect.

Let's see how "disciplined" you are.

Why is it "fake" and why shouldn't we be outraged?

To answer your deflection: If we did have the best healthcare in the world why is anyone comparing our problems to other countries healthcare problems?

Hey dumbass, every state that has restrictions on abortion all have clauses that ultimately protect the life of the mother in these situations. You can stop with your fake outrage now.

Because you're a shallow person. If it can't be 100% political then you don't give 2 -----.

Now, if that's not applicable to you then it's not applicable to you.

IOW, if your outrage is genuine......then remain confident in that. I don't care either way. I didn't call you out in any way.

My comment is no different than blanket accusations thrown out to groups of people (republicans, democrats, conservatives, liberals, men, women, religious, non-religious, etc...)

If it doesn't apply to me then I don't take the bait.

Is reading comprehension still difficult for you?

The point being (as I said twice) was why are we comparing the problems in the so called "best health care in the world" to European countries healthcare problems.

Because it fits your personal (maga?) and highly emotional narrative but does not counter the well sourced article in any way.

So I see you cannot support your assertion (lie) that this was a "fake" story. Which is what I responded to in MY response. (Not to you personally)

And apparently all you have are personal insults and psychobabble about obsessions and who posts the most.

I'm disappointed. Perhaps you are not that worthy an opponent after all.

Because health care isn't women deciding they're too selfish and lazy to have a child. But forced birth is about controlling and harming women. It's what God wants according to the Bible that was written by men.

"But for women in states with abortion bans, getting that treatment can be difficult."

Which some here apparently want us to believe had nothing to do with anything.
