I think it's important to note that the hospital that failed Brittany Watts is a Catholic hospital where care is determined first and foremost by church doctrine rather than best medical practices. The takeover of hospitals by Catholic hospital systems like Mercy endangers women even in Blue states.
Your essays on this subject are important reminders of a key political risk. Those of us living in blue states that treat abortion as healthcare can not afford to be complacent about the radical abortion laws in other states that visit such misery on our fellow Americans. Both because of the unfairness of it and the risk that such laws could become national in scope.
I think the mental development of the members of the AAPLOG should be examined. They reason like children whose frontal lobes have not fully developed. Also, why must these women’s lives be risked because of someone else’s religious beliefs. Gods are a creation of men to subjugate other men, so I am an atheist. True morality comes from empathy and compassion - two emotions existing only in our higher brain.
Thanks for this cogent, factual explanation. Let’s hope that, in the end, common sense will prevail over the sanctimony that’s causing real harm while claiming to prevent an imagined one.
They want to control a woman's life, suffering & pain levels, and direct her death. That's the end goal. A line of supplicants, stretching around the block, pleading with anointed "experts" for their life. Can you have control over your body? Can your spouse have a partner? Can your kids have a parent? The answer is "no" and it's not even a question where your opinion carries any weight. You - a woman - are not worthy of continuing to live. You don't control your body and you certainly don't control your future. Perhaps women never were worthy of life in their eyes?
Are there any levers that we can pull that will change proponents of these laws minds? Like would they care if these cases of patient abuse increase medical costs for everyone? If more and more women turn to sterilization thereby decreased the population and changing the culture toward childlessness? Do they have a line? Or is there no outcome/consequence that will move them?
