A week after rejecting exceptions for rape and incest, the Louisiana legislatures criminal justice committee rejected two more bills on Tuesday that would clarify that abortion care is legal for miscarriages or nonviable pregnancies today.

Democrat Rep. Candace Newell and Republican Rep. Mary DuBuisson had both introduced legislation attempting to clarify what conditions doctors can still treat under the states strict abortion ban. Newells bill would have amended the definition of abortion to exclude ectopic pregnancies, so that surgery and treatment for them would be explicitly allowed in Louisiana. DuBouissons bill sought to clarify that medical procedures used to treat miscarriages wouldnt be considered abortions under the ban. (Medically, the terms are often used interchangeablyfor example, a spontaneous abortion or missed abortion is the same as a spontaneous miscarriage.)

New Orleans health director Jennifer Avegno testified about the confusion doctors have experienced when faced with pregnancy complications, which can be fatal if left untreated. The answer doctors get is to call [their] hospital attorney. I dont know of anything else that interferes with the patient-physician relationship like that, said Avegno. She spoke to how quickly an ectopic pregnancy, when a fertilized egg grows outside of the uterus, can rupture a fallopian tube, leading to profound bleeding.

Jeez, they really want to kill women, don't they?

That isn't a new thing. We've had this sort of issue for a while.

We should make sure that people who support these horrible laws are well taken care of. Because if we don't we would be just like them.

Because Republicans actively hate woman.
It's actually super uncomplicated once you acknowledge this simple fact.

that's not a question. It's a statement.

"treating ectopic pregnancies is illegal" is literally the exact same thing as "treating gunshot wounds is illegal"

actually "literally" is probably not the right word to use. I haven't looked up statistics about which occurance has a higher fatality rate.

I believe the reasoning you are looking for, is because they are hateful ****s.

The official reasoning is "life is precious".

The real reason is because "if God didn't want you to get pregnant he would have stopped you from getting pregnant" or whatever other bullshit a certain group of people come up with in their fantasy land. Not to mention they believe they have a right to tell people what they can and can't do.

I'm waiting for conservative posters to come in and defend this. They seem to never do so in topics like this where Republicans are being blatantly evil. Maybe they can't even spin some sort of BS defense of it.

Oh and everyone, if we talk about how bad Republicans and their supporters are, we're being "toxic".

Not allowing treatment for ectopic pregnancies and other dangerous complications is fucked up. Like am not even capable of coming up with a coherent world view for this that doesnt involve banning all medical care.

How is killing more white women going to help with that? Republicans are playing a dangerous game here.

to clarify a little:

LA GOP claims that ectopic pregnancies can be treated, so doctors wanted to clarify that in the writing of the law, to which the GOP refused, claiming it wasn't needed.

it's all bullshit GOP are maniacs

Yeah, ectopic pregnancies can't be treated. If you don't do it in time, you kill both. If you do it in time, you likely only make it harder for her to get pregnant again.

LA is going to cause a lot of OBGYNs to just leave the state, just like other red states are.

well the treatment is to get it the fuck out of her. Louisiana is labelling that as abortion. Also, from what I understand, the symptoms start within days.

Republican politics is all about getting you to go to a second location at this point. It's serial killer politics. Anything that they spend a lot of effort trying to convince you is not going to happen is exactly what will happen once they get the chance. Abortion is just one example of this. We see it with minority rights, labor rights, policing, online freedom, schools/academic freedom, you name it.

Any bad thing a liberal or leftist can sound the alarm on, you can bet your ass that conservatives are simultaneously doing that thing, denying that they're doing that thing, saying it's hysteria to believe they'd ever do that thing, and saying doing that thing would be completely justified.
