You wanna know why? Because abortion is coded as everything even closely related now days. Even though they are different. One is an elective procedure the other is something needed out of necessity. Now one can argue semantics over a womanās choice of abortion being necessity all they want (and I disagree) however two necessities donāt automatically equal to each other even if that was a value held. Women are blinded by the little power theyāre given, and itās only works against itself.
you realize thatās the exact problem here? that the legislation of this was vague as fuck and it literally had to be clarified in real time, which delayed her emergency care?? lmao bffr like do you not see how this is relevant? legislating exceptions is difficult, especially when you set vague laws that arenāt based off scientific consensus. 6 weeks isnāt not enough time for someone to get an abortion. itās too early, tests can give false negatives and it wonāt even show on an ultrasound.
like srsly what youāre explaining here literally got clarified as the situation unfolded and they scrambled to give her emergency medical care due to the vagueness of the law SHE helped to pass. i donāt have any sympathy for her, i think she got a taste of her own medicine. i think she realized that maybe HER right to bodily autonomy was jeopardized, but instead of seeing her own fault she doubled down and blamed pro-choice activists for āfearmongeringā???
literally, the fact she directly called up the Governor makes my blood boil. like, iām so glad that YOU get to be the exception literally ONLY because of political connections. meanwhile victims of rape arenāt even afforded the same courtesy if they canāt substantially document and prove that they were raped. and itās hard enough for survivors to come forward, harder still to prove this in a legal sense but all Cammack has to do is make a phone call for an exception to a bs law SHE passed??
So for a woman going through this exact thing who doesnāt have to governor on speed dial would be delayed even longer if not just refused care until she is in the ER, what about then? What about the many women who have had this exact experience except they couldnāt call higher up to get it cleared?
