Search Results: chance of pregnancy

A woman in Louisiana said that she has been told that she must carry a fetus without a skull and part of its head to term or travel out of state to recieve an abortion.

Nancy Davis, a mother of one, is 13 weeks pregnant. Several weeks ago, an initial ultrasound revelead to Ms Davis that the fetus would have no chance of surviving — but because Louisiana’s abortion ban does not include an exception for acrania, the condition the fetus is suffering from, she cannot get a legal abortion in the state.

If Ms Davis does want to get an abortion, she will have to travel out of state to Florida. But time is running out for her to make a decision: Florida has banned abortion after 15 weeks of pregnancy, giving Ms Davis a small window to schedule an appointment and arrange her travel should she decide to get the procedure.

Louisiana is among the Republican-led states that passed extremely restrictive abortion bans to take effect in a post-Roe v Wade landscape. The state has banned all abortions except for cases in which the mother’s life is in jeopardy or in some cases in which the fetus is nonviable.

Louisiana woman forced to carry fetus missing skull to term

Doctors in states that allow for limited abortions are already waiting too long to give women abortions until it's almost too late to save the mother.

An entoptic pregnancy can be fatal for the host & does not produce a viable fetus that would survive.

Going into labor in the first & early second trimester & not being able to expel the fetus can lead to major infections of the uterus & even death if not aborted. Even if a fetal heart beat is still detected, there is poor chance that the fetus will survive or develope properly.

Rape & incest victims have a higher chance of suicide if forced to give birth to their rapists/incest baby.

Maternity wards are closing in states like Texas in high numbers or are limited on days they are open & some don't have a close backup hospital. Leaving the mother to either give birth in the ER & be sent home after their baby is just hours old without being monitored for post-birth complications OR attempt to make it to the next hospital sometimes an hour or further away OR trying to be induced into labor on the first day the ward is open, only to be sent home because labor is taking too long & they are closing the ward.

Is the USA prepared to deal with this & so much more?
