PROPOSED OHIO ABORTION BAN WOULD FORCE DOCTORS TO RE-IMPLANT ECTOPIC PREGNANCIES

[RandySF]

The ramifications of the bill have abortion-rights advocates concerned. They say that the criteria for determining whether the pregnancy threatens the woman's life are too restrictive. "Instead of making Ohio a safe place for women, children and families, Ohio politicians are focused on outlawing safe medical procedures and punishing people for seeking abortion care," Chrisse France, the executive director of Preterm, Ohio's largest abortion provider, told the Dayton Daily News.

In the case of an ectopic pregnancy, where the embryo has attached and started to grow outside the uterus, doctors are required to surgically intervene to remove it.

HB 413 contains language that demands doctors take "all possible steps" to save an embryo or fetus, including "attempting to reimplant an ectopic pregnancy into the woman's uterus."

There has never been a documented medical procedure in which an ectopic fetus has been removed and re-transplanted. Rather than surgical intervention, many anti-abortion campaigners have supported "watchful waiting" in which the woman's doctor monitors their condition until the ectopic pregnancy miscarries. That can result in significant health risks.

1. What next? Requiring licenses to cast wizard spells? Regulations on FTL travel?

[dewsgirl]

2. How horrific.

[Vinca]

3. I say they get reimplanted in GOP lawmakers. MALE GOP lawmakers.

And make them pay for it.

[ck4829]

4. That's not a bad idea actually

[LiberalBrooke]

5. Good answer!

[ismnotwasm]

6. Excellent idea

Give them the hormones they need to “save” the fetus

[Hortensis]

7. I'm imagining the first set of medical bills. Those will put a quick

end to this, if it gets that far. Anti-tax and regulation billionaires, not to mention pious conservative taxpayers, have no intention of paying for an avalanche of new medical expenses, incurred by people they'd immediate start demonizing in order to abandon.

Even with the fetus dying quickly, expenses over hundreds of thousands of women would be enormous. And when it didn't? What happens when the body threatens to abort at 11 weeks, again at 13 and 14? Birth finally coming at 22 weeks, actually viable IF the newest, most horrendously expensive technology is available to keep the baby alive for months until he or she can sustain life off machinery.

Uhuh. The only benefit to the right from declaring life begins at conception would be the ability to control women and persecute those unfortunate enough to be targeted. Of course, those ARE important benefits.

8. Such bullshit

Torment women with a nonexistent surgical procedure. Disgusting

[dawg day]

9. Yes, let's implant decomposing material into women-

They don't seem to mind us realizing that they literally hate women.

Ectopic pregnancies are life-threatening emergencies.
This bill is as if you have an appendectomy to save your life, and then the surgeon is forced to put the appendix back somewhere else in your body.

[alterfurz]

10. you can't make this shit up

[TheBlackAdder]

11. Fucking Ohio.

[smirkymonkey]

12. I'm sorry for all decent people in Ohio, but FUCK Ohio!

What the hell is wrong with that state?

[Greybnk48]

13. That would kill the mother from sepsis, (implanting a rotting, already dead embryo).

So they want legal murder of mothers?

[Wounded Bear]

14. K & R...for visibility...nt

[MoonRiver]

15. This country has gone mad!

[SammyWinstonJack]

16. Totally.

[keithbvadu2]

17. Gynotician

[roamer65]

18. Michigan in one week will be starting up recreational marijuana sales.

I can’t wait to see the reaction of the shitbag states of Ohio and Indiana when all that tax revenue comes north to Michigan.

Michigan...legal, safe abortion and recreational pot, too!
