Is the USA prepared for the increased amounts of death that will occur without safe access to abortion?

[Dazed0N0Confused]

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?

Yes

Probably Yes

Maybe

Probably Not

No

[Aerissa_Jade]

Probably,

Deaths caused by other things don't seem to matter. Like when excessive child support causes a man to become homeless and kill himself, no one gives a damn and people still supports those laws.

Same thing will be with abortion, someone who can't get it and may end her life, no one will care... actually I think more people will care about that than child support suicides, or depression suicides, just depends on the topic.

People tend to care about certain kinds of deaths that 'matter' to them but don't care about others. Like gun deaths, some care a ton about that but ignore car deaths.

So more deaths or not, it won't be like covid with piles of bodies stored in freezer trucks with no where to go, it won't be that bad.

Just wish we could get everyone to care about all deaths, not selectively caring about certain kinds and ignoring the rest.

[Dazed0N0Confused]

I care about all deaths, but unfortunately a group of cells that doesn't have cognitive brain function is not something I consider murder.

[Cherry234]

I'm concerned about the possible deaths that could occur as a result of the overturn. Some fuckwits on here, especially those who answered this question, are clearly apathetic and even happy about this. People keep arguing "states' rights" but women shouldn't have to travel to a different state just to get abortions. Some don't have the time, the money, and other resources to do that.

I'm pro-choice. Restricting or even banning abortion isn't going to save lives. Pro-choice people are more logical and rational than pro-life people because we actually use our brains and think critically and analyze how this decision to overturn Roe can affect people. There are very negative consequences of this decision.

[Dazed0N0Confused]

Women should just stop having sex is their answer... My answer is to force men to have vasectomies & deposit a few samples at a sperm bank. Men are the leading cause of pregnancy & should be held to the same standards as women when it comes to having a baby.

[Cherry234]

I agree.

[ethanallen]

Is the US prepared for the spike in murders, assaults and rapes that will occur , starting 16 years from now. That will be when the first cohort of unwanted children born this year to mothers who could not get an abortion will reach age 16 and begin a life of violence and crime. Republicans have long been friends of the private sector prison system. This will increase the stock price of private prisons because many of this cohort will be cared for in private prisons. This is Republican version of Fatal Shore.

[RedThread]

You also ignore the financial burden of the state of having a lot of new infants that nobody wants to care for. I wonder how they will deal with that as well.

[MangoBob]

If you dont want children and dont want to care for them use a fkn condom or get snipped.

[RedThread]

@MangoBob what the hell? I never claimed I wasn't snipped or didn't use condoms? The hells wrong with you?

[Dazed0N0Confused]

@MangoBob a man can impregnate 365 women a year, women can give birth 1 time a year. Put the burden on the men because they are the #1 cause of pregnancy

[MzAsh]

Are they also prepared to deal with the skyrocketing illegal abortions being performed in spite of policy?

[Dazed0N0Confused]

Not just illegal, but more dangerous.

[MzAsh]

Exactly

[Lionman95]

Like honestly how many deaths are you expecting by state because did the USA change much after Covid? Did anything significantly change after all the shootings?

As a non-American I would say no, so I would say that all the women that die because they couldn´t get an abortion will expect the same fate.

[Dazed0N0Confused]

I'm expecting ~200/100000 women, as is projected from other countries who have limited heath care & abortions. It would be one of the highest in the world. The UK & majority of EU nations have less than 10/100000, but then you go to syria where it's more like 140/100000. It's too many for a first world nation to be in line with Syria

[joeldalton]

1) surgery for ectopic. pregnancy is not an abortion
2) rape and incest are exceptionally rare reasons for abortion
3) a woman’s health being in danger is also an exceedingly rare occurrence

You are trying to justify abortion by producing emotional edge cases while ignoring that the vast, VAST majority are the result of a baby being ‘inconvenient’.

[Anonymous]

I think people either don’t think that will happen or they don’t care that will happen. If half the states manage to restrict it or if there is a national ban I fear that years from now most people will lose someone they are close to because of the bans from one of the various reasons that you mentioned.

[Dazed0N0Confused]

It happened here in Ohio, a 10 year old rape victim was told they couldn't get an abortion because she was 3 DAYS past the 6 week mark. It's absolutely disgusting.

[RealDaveThomas]

Yeah

Republicans love population control, through death and destruction. Just look at the IRAQ war, BUSH, was president

[Anonymous]

If you count the unborn children, as you should, the death rate in states that no longer allow abortions will actually plummet. Before Roe was overturned there were nearly a million unborn babies killed every year in the US.

[Dazed0N0Confused]

It's not a child, it's a fetus, it can't survive without its host body, which technically makes it a parasite

[Opinion Owner]

A newborn baby cannot survive without its "host" either, so your argument goes out the window. Care to try again?

[monorprise]

Abortion like other forms of murder is legal in every state I know of in such cases as a necessary to save a life.

[Anonymous]

Not sure how people believe that a pregnancy that kills the mother and the baby, because a doctor is legally paralyzed from giving appropriate care, is saving lives.

[maximumpower]

Not concerned. Maybe the sluts of the world will begin considering consequences of their actions.
After all - it takes two.

[Dazed0N0Confused]

How about we make men the responsible party since they're the ones who need to ejaculate to get the woman pregnant? If life begins at conception, the man should be on the hook from day one to pay for everything regarding the infant

[maximumpower]

It takes two.

[exitseven]

like everything else in the Biden administration. They will be two steps behind the crisis.

[Dazed0N0Confused]

This was a GOP talking point that got passed, this is the Republicans fault

[Sixgunsound]

The US healthcare system can’t even handle all the heart problems from the Fauci sauce.

[KrakenAttackin]

This is what it takes for women to have the smallest amount of accountability.

[Dazed0N0Confused]

How about men who refuse to wear condoms? He should have to pay for everything regarding the fetus the day he ejaculates inside the woman. Women already have all the accountability, men do not.

[KrakenAttackin]

@Dazed0N0Confused. Bullshit. Men are always held accountable. He will have to pay, ONCE PATERNITY IS ESTABLISHED. Also he has zero say about whether the child is kept, aborted, given up for adoption. Don't talk to me about men "not being accountable", because is screams that you are clueless and entitled.

[MangoBob]

Oh the drama, just move your ass to a state that allows abortion, chicken little.

[Dazed0N0Confused]

I can't wait to see the death toll rise because people don't care

[MangoBob]

The death toll is already rising due to war, food shortages, fake toxic “ vaccines” meant to thin the Earths population. Problem is you won’t accept responsibility for your actions, refuse to use condoms, pills, foams, IUD’s tubal ligation vasectomies no, you just want to kill babies because it makes you feel powerful and in control.

[Anonymous]

um, yep I think we can handle it. No more fear mongering about all the death and destruction that will befall us all for stopping legalized murder. 🤡

[Dazed0N0Confused]

Unless you're also against war (murder), death penalty (murder), taking people off life support (murder), NROs (murder), Police Shootings regardless of reason (Murder), "good guys with guns" (murder), then don't spout abortion as murder, because it's not, religions have abortion in their frame work, some religions higher power doesn't believe fetuses are even human & that life begins at the first breath.

[msc545]

A few women will die from this, but probably (and hopefully) not many as it can be medically treated.

[Dazed0N0Confused]

Not if the doctors are afraid of being prosecuted. Doctors are already waiting in Texas to give abortions to women who need them or they will die until it is almost too late

[msc545]

An ectopic pregnancy is a clear-cut medical emergency. Nobody will be prosecuted for treating this. Stop the drama.

[EnglishEuropean]

US didn't care about COVID deaths. Even vilified people for trying to save lives.

[shortster]

Don't you mean the increase in the number of lives saved?

[Anonymous]

Joey's in bed with the CCP and they have ordered depopulation on mass

[Anonymous]

I'm pretty sure the death rate will decrease significantly, actually. Think about it.

[duttyjamagyal]

Tell the doctors to do their fucking jobs then

[Dazed0N0Confused]

Tell the Republicans to stay out of medical decisions

[duttyjamagyal]

Not when that medical decision directly harms/KILLS someone else for elective reasons, stop using the sick woman who quite LITERALLY cannot in actuality successfully LEGITIMATELY carry a child to justify you killing your baby because you don't want to take care of a child... Its always ectopic pregnancy and never I just want to be a fucking hoe or fuck irresponsibly
