Radio Host Shares Impact of TX Abortion Ban on His Family
Texas radio host Ryan Hamilton is raising awareness online about his wife’s near-death experience, after she was denied necessary medical care while miscarrying, due to their state’s extreme abortion ban.
Even after her harrowing experience, Texas’ ban is still causing problems for Hamilton, his wife, and their family.

I completely understand why your wife doesn't want to speak about it... It's an ongoing trauma... She is being assaulted and battered by the state of Texas. Your family is being punished by GQP politicians who accepted church money. I'm so sorry you guys have to go through this. It is unacceptable especially in 2024, in America. This should not be.

everyone wants more babies to potentially make more generations of men. and everyone wants more dependent, controlled women who feel defeated and disempowered so their confidence doesn't threaten a culture of herding, hoarding & suppressing them to maintain power over them. everyone wants wombs to be a controlled public resource. nobody wants women to feel in charge of their bodies, nobody wants women to feel safe. nobody wants to admit that a uterus is first and foremost an organ in someone's body long before it's a baby vessel. nobody wants to admit making babies is a _byproduct_ of having that organ, not the purpose of the organ or of the person who possesses it. even though that organ gets cancer, even though that organ regulates hormones, even though that organ sometimes doesn't successfully make babies, even though the person who possesses that organ may be mentally/physically disabled and making a baby has nothing to do with what her mind, body & life need.

They shouldn't HAVE to leave, we need to DEMAND that the state & politicians who claim to represent them respect and protect their residents. I acknowledge that giving up and fleeing is sometimes necessary, just for a person's straight-up survival-- but there will always be ppl too poor or too ill to uproot their lives, move to a state where they know no one else, then have to find a new job and place to live.

My grandmother used "not getting a DnC" as pregnancy prevention, but back then that was one of the few methods available - and she _chose_ to do it. Key word: CHOSE. The government's role in healthcare should be making it available, not taking it away!
makes me so angry that they claim to care about "life" whilst actively harming currently-living people. an unborn fetus is more of a life to them than a woman.

You need a good healthcare provider who is knowledgeable about what you and your wife are going through and hold your hand every step of the way. Of course, I can't diagnose anything without seeing an ultrasound. But the pregnancy hormones can slowly decline and it can take a month (sometimes a bit longer) for a pregnancy test to turn negative after a miscarriage. Everything MIGHT be fine, in terms of the miscarriage may be complete and will not affect future fertility. Your healthcare provider SHOULD know all this and be able to discern precisely what's happened with the miscarriage. As far as your big point, that laws and restrictions are HARMING women and families, thank you sir, for speaking out!!!!!!
Thank you for sharing your story - can't imagine how hard this time is for you and your wife, but I appreciate how important it is to tell people what these laws are actually doing to women, men, and their families.
