(6,189 posts)..... because I've been in an operating room when a woman with an ectopic pregnancy was having emergency abdominal surgery to treat the results of a fallopian tube erupting due to the pregnancy.
The erupted tube was bleeding into the abdomen.
The erupting tissue required complete irrigation of the abdominal cavity to guard against possible sepsis.
The fallopian tube and ovary were also removed because of the extensive damage done by the eruption.
In the three years I scrubbed in a USAF operating room, I scrubbed on multiple emergency ectopic tube eruptions, and they all ended like the one above.
Beau is right the repugs care more about their talking point than they do about the lives of their female constituents.

(47,140 posts)They don't care about this country or Americans.
We have so many examples of this. Covid deaths, gun deaths.
All the negative statistics about quality of life and happiness in the US.
They are ruthless sociopaths and will do anything for power and money.
I hope many people read your post.
There was a horrible similar case in Ireland where an immigrant from India, a dentist, died a horrible death after days of suffering. She presented to the hospital at 17 weeks pregnant in pain, the gestational sac was protruding from her body. She was in immense pain and the sac would not deliver. After two days of pain and sepsis she begged for an abortion. The doctor refused. She had severe sepsis and had a heart attack the two days after entering the hospital.
She was only 31 yrs old.

(13,528 posts)the MO state house tried to allow an abortion ban on ectopic pregnancies. He got an earful (I am being kind). I truly believe he had no idea what it was or that its a thing that can happen in a pregnancy. He backed off and took it out of their effing bill.
