As an operating room staff I agree with you ma’am 100%. I am in GYN service and I’m doing GYN cases every single working days. We are lucky here in Seattle because women has the right to choose of their own body. We save lots of women’s lives here from ectopic pregnancies to fetal demise. We also save babies while they are still in the uterus with our expert Fetoscopic surgeons as well as the mother’s lives. The Texas law is so horrible that a pregnant woman, her family, and her doctor can’t do what is appropriate procedure to do to save the life of the mother. I feel the pain of the mother who lost her pregnancy/baby and at the same time fighting for her life every time we have the procedure saving the mother’s life because the baby in the uterus is already dead. The Texas law is so harsh to women that they don’t care if a pregnant woman dies with the dead fetus/baby in their uterus. Washington State women are very lucky that they have the right to save their lives from deadly ectopic and fetal demise pregnancies. Thank God🙏😇

In fairness, I don’t think a 15 week fetus will ever be viable. The lungs and brain aren’t fully developed. The skin is basically tissue paper. They are only about 4-6.5 inches long. How would you safely get a fetus from the human womb to an artificial womb? There are no tubes that will fit, nor ventilators that would work nor even the ability to find veins. This is where an understanding of fetal development and preemie parents sharing real pictures of what extremely premature infants look like is so important. Anti-abortion literature lies about what they look like. My older son was born at 29 weeks/1 day. His foot was as long as my pinky. He was covered in languno because he wasn’t far enough along to have enough body fat to regulate his own temperature. And he weighed 2 pounds 4.7 ounces and was 14 inches long. Even getting tubes in him was a struggle and he was definitely viable. There was a baby born the same day as he was who was 25 weeks. That baby was barely a pound. People just have no idea unless they’ve seen it first hand.

Babies born too soon suffer long-term problems, blindness, deafness, and severe learning disabilities, and who is going to provide care for this viable life? More in line with GOP thinking, who's going to pay for the care of this viable life? Because, if you "save" a life simply because medical technology is capable of doing it who's going to pay for the round-the-clock care a life like this is going to require? Who's going to care for the life that was viable because technology makes it so? If technology is all that matters, what about prolonging life? Brain-dead people can be kept alive by technology. They aren't viable once the machine is turned off. None of this makes sense! The GOP has always wanted to push its religious standards on everyone else. I'm a Christian but not a Republican. Why? Because the GOP speaks out of both sides of its head, it's pro-life unless a court decides that the death penalty is appropriate. They'll give cancer treatments to an inmate with a death sentence just so THEY have the power to decide when & how that inmate is going to die. IT MAKES NO SENSE!

Thankfully he’s had a fabulous outcome and is now in the gifted program at school but I am fully aware that “there but for the grace of God” fully applies to us. I cannot imagine the conversation the woman whose baby was born at 25 weeks two hours after my son had with the neonatologist. With preemies every week before 32 weeks counts in leaps and bounds. And the outcomes at 25 weeks are far more grim than 29 weeks. That doesn’t mean both babies can’t survive without issue, but it means you’re starting from different places. People just don’t understand how fraught the NICU is and how a fetus develops. They don’t come out at even 29 weeks with fully developed lungs looking like a full term newborn. In the case of my son, they look like red aliens or red wrinkly old men with barely any fat and skin so thin it bruises easily from the constant poking. I wish the reality was shared more so people understood. The success stories pre-24 weeks are newsworthy because they’re so rare, not because they’re the norm.

What Alyssa doesn’t is understand that there is no “We” in discussing when it comes to a viable time to decide as to when a pregnancy is considered outside the body that has rights. Once again this is between the a husband or partner, the God they or may not serve and the doctor. For those who have religious belief about abortion, God as gave free will so why is this not considered when a woman is making a very difficult choice in her life. Free will is not a twice side can true at the same time issue it , you have free will and she has free will and will be or not judge for the choose she makes.

Whoopi is correct, it's always been said my body my choice,no one shoved it down our throats,we as women make the choice to lay down with someone so we should have that right without criticism to make our own choices, being a child of sex abuse by her father, I would have wanted the choice to make that decision that I didn't want a child that was from being raped by her father or any rape for that matter,God will judge you not society,man cannot control us women,just like we cannot control man's erictile disfuction, just zip it up n put it away ,life is not about sex but about living the best life you can by treating others with respect n as human beings not a trophy on a pedestal , sorry I babble but I feel strong about this, women stand up for each other,good bad n ugly we need to stand together,stay strong 💪

You have no idea what all women go through in their lives and no laws should be made against them based on those that has "flings". Some women don't have control over whether they want to have sex or not, some men have complete control over them and any contraceptives they might use; some husbands rape their wives. If society and you cannot or will not control men penises, which I seriously doubt they would stand for, then they should not control women's body. Women's womb does not, should not belong to the State, any State. If you want others to control you, that's your privilege, but don't include all women in your quest to be dominated.

Alyssa, please read up on fetal development. There are somethings, you just can't rush. We will not be saving babies at 18 weeks.

Texas and Greg Abbott are 😫 🤒 😷 annoying as Florida and DeSantis 😮

Sara and Alyssa need to sit tf down. Roe WAS the compromise. It’s not about compromise.

I am a doctor and I am very uncomfortable with the idea of “medical exceptions” - as shown by the case of a mother with a foetus having trisomy 18, lower court said she met the threshold of her life and well-being being at risk but it was repealed by a higher court. Law acts in years and months. Pregnancies act in days and weeks, and especially for dying foetuses and life threatening pregnancies, that is a matter of hours/sometimes minutes. Medical exceptions do NOT work - especially with the threat of 99 years in prison. Doctors are not fortune tellers and superhuman - we try to make the best clinical decision for the patient’s best interest and safety but this will not happen if a doctor has the threat of 99 years in prison. Saying excemption begets the question of how much of a degree does a mother’s life have to be in danger? Those questions should be for doctors and patients not for law and fickle politicians who are the pockets of corporations as opposed to the people.

When viability is mentioned, no one mentions the elephant in the room- healthcare costs. Do you know how expensive it is for a healthy, 40 week to term baby to be born in a hospital? Now, imagine that baby is born at 24 weeks. That child will have to stay in a hospital's neo natal unit for weeks. Who's paying for all that? The patient? The insurance company? The hospital? Every future patient of that hospital, and that insurance company? And what happens after the baby leaves the hospital? That baby will not be 100% healthy. How many Americans are receiving disability benefits because they weren't born healthy, at full term? It sounds cold, heartless. But, it's an important issue in this debate that is never mentioned.

Yup. My older son was born at 29 weeks. My husband said that he saw his medical bill at one point and it was a million dollars pre insurance payment. And that’s a baby that had relatively few complications and left the NICU 3 weeks before his due date. Imagine the cost for a brain bleed or NEC or continued respiratory care. Some babies can spend almost a year or more in the NICU. Who is paying for that? I’m not saying we shouldn’t save babies that can be saved, I’m saying there’s a cost and it doesn’t end when the baby goes home. Even my son needed occupational and physical therapy for the first three years. Some babies go home on oxygen or feeding tubes or need therapy for years after. And often those are the ones born before 27/28 weeks.

I drove an hour from my home to my on office bleeding so profoundly that I could have passed out if I had not made it in time. I had no other choice but to have an emergency DNC. My wife and I were planning to try again this year and now, I doubt it because if I end up in the same situation I will die! So upset about this I don’t even know what to do

Vote Blue Everywhere

The part that I don’t understand from this is that if the mother is at risk of death, so is that baby/fetus… so aren’t you just killing that baby/fetus anyways???

I have a role at my company that is unique. I recently had a male manager and a male boss make a decision regarding the process of how to do my job without consulting me. When I went up to them and told them that process wouldn’t work (because I was the person who had the experience to determine that), they ended up realizing that I was going to be the one most affected by their decision, so they changed it to fit what I wanted. I am glad that they did, but I can’t help but be baffled that these two men thought they were qualified to make a decision about something that would only impact MY life without even asking me for my input or feedback. It’s literally insane how people in power think. They make decisions just because they can. They are hardly ever informed decisions and you’ll be lucky to be a woman who is granted a seat at the table making decisions about your own life.
