My goddaughter was carrying triplets. They had to abort one to save the other two.

What would happen to the doctor and my goddaughter under the dracoanian anti-abortion laws today?

1. They discussed the possibility that might be necessary when my niece was pregnant with her triplets.

It wasn't necessary in her case (the fact she's six feet tall helped a lot), but it's always a possibility with multiples. She was very lucky. But I've been asking myself the same question and I have no idea of the answer. It seems like they didn't think this through because every case isn't clear cut.

Happily, we live in a state where the governor and both houses of the legislature are controlled by Democrats -- Illinois. I won't say that it can't happen here, but I'm hopeful for the time being.

I hope that your goddaughters children are doing well.

2. The babies would die, and perhaps the mom.

This isn’t about saving lives. Wait until they remember frozen embryos and think to do something about IVF.

3. That's Right - As Heartless As They Come

This isn't about saving lives but exercising political power and subjugating women.

4. Same thing happened to my sister n law

She was so sad.

5. All the babies would die unfortunately. This scenario also happens in twin births.

Alabama and the like states don't care about medical necessity.
