What percentage of already born children forced to carry out pregnancy and dying is acceptable to you? Every pregnant child is a victim of rape.How many grown women dying from treatable diseases (and their fetuses) due to abortion being illegal is acceptable?
And here you prove my point.ajax18 wrote: ↑Wed Sep 28, 2022 11:08 pmI remember Brett Baier asking Tim Ryan if there is any point during a pregnancy at which abortion should illegal. He said no, that you have to leave it up to the sole discretion of the woman. If he believed that abortion should be illegal after 6 months, than he sure fooled me. He sure wouldn't answer the question in a straight forward manner.Ajax, that's basically what most Dems are campaigning on.

If they changed their platform tomorrow and FOX News started telling you abortions are necessary and should be mandated to keep the white race pure, you'd be jumping all over that proposition with glee.
Apparently it needs to be said that one Democrat doesn’t represent most Democrats.ajax18 wrote: ↑Wed Sep 28, 2022 11:08 pmI remember Brett Baier asking Tim Ryan if there is any point during a pregnancy at which abortion should illegal.

Like you, I Fully agree with Baier.
To be fair, though, it should be noted that Arizona's new anti-abortion law may not have been the only reason this girl was denied a refill. The fact that she recently turned 14 may have had something to do with it.A 14-year-old Tucson girl was denied a refill of a life-saving prescription drug she had been taking for years just two days after Arizona's new abortion law had taken effect. 14 year old Emma Thompson has debilitating rheumatoid arthritis and osteoporosis which has kept her in and out of the hospital for most of her life.
Another GQP success story.
But the fact that women who need methotrexate are strongly advised, even required to be on long term birth control might just be all the more reason why fanatically religious, ultra-conservative politicians want to outlaw the drug for use by women because they also stupidly oppose the use of any type of contraceptive.I'm not familiar with the AZ law and not defending it, but there is more to this story. I started to share a personal story but decided not to do that. since folks here can be brutal. Suffice it to say my family has experience with methotrexate. Methotrexate is commonly prescribed to teenage boys for certain illnesses, but not to girls, because of side effects. Tor is incorrect, methotrexate, at high doses, is used to induce abortion, but at therapeutic doses for other conditions, it doesn't cause abortion, but can cause severe birth defects in pregnant girls p and women. In order for an adult woman to get an RX for methotrexate, a Dr. usually requires idiot proof, long term birth control, like an IUD or implant. Walgreens (and every other pharmacy in my area) will not fill a methotrexate RX for teen girls, because they can't be confident that teen girls are following birth control recommendations, and they aren't old enough to sign legal waivers. This dates back at least 5 years or more. This sucks, because the alternate drug given to girls instead of methotrexate is mercaptopurine, which causes lymphoma. What a tradeoff...
In fairness, though, I can't say I know for sure that only Republican politicians are ever guilty of this.Republicans frequently pass laws written by extremist groups that are vague, poorly worded and misinformed. When real-world lawyers review them they determine that their company and employees/members/students/etc may be in violation of the law for certain actions that law makers don't even realize they may have outlawed.
Doctors only cut this treatment off for her because ignorant, hateful conservatives passed a law they don't understand. This should be nothing more than a decision between a patient, her family and her doctor.
Last year, 538 girls under age 18 sought abortions in Ohio, including 57 girls who were under age 15.
Another 1,352 abortions, or 6.2% of the total, were performed on women ages 18 to 19; 6,431 abortions, or 29.5%, were performed on women ages 20 to 24; and 13,492 abortions, or 61.9%, were performed on women ages 25-55 years.
White women had 8,784 abortions, or 40.3% last year. Black women had 9,446 abortions or 43.3%.
Many of the women reported already having children: 7,948 women reported having two or more kids, or 36.4% of total abortions; 5,371 women, or 24.6%, had one child; and 6,937, or 31.8%, had no children. The number of children was not reported in 1,557 women.
