We Are Better Than This

 We Are Better Than This  Substack by JoJoFromJerz. 

The article starts with Amber Thurman's last words: Promise me you'll take care of my son."

Amber died because doctors were afraid to treat life threatening infection, least they be arrested due to SCOTUS giving states the right to deny liberty to females. To wit: Roe v. Wade. 

When GOP's goal was to end Roe v. Wade, I stopped considering them for any elected position. The first thing I would check in any election was a candidate's position on Roe v. Wade. I was pregnant 3 times; the father wanted me to abort all three. His parents tried to convince me to abort #2. I refused. I told him I would abort #3, if he came up with the money. I knew that he would not. So why do I care about Roe v. Wade?

It explains part of my reason. Physicians should not fear being arrested if they assist a pregnant female, because the needed care might cause the fetus (embryo) to abort.  D & C's have been standard care after natural miscarriages for as long as I can remember. 

Medical professions should not have to fear treating a pregnant female involved in a car crash, because treatment might induce a miscarriage.

A raped 14-year-old girl's parents should not have to travel to another state to have doctor assisted termination of the unwanted pregnancy.  No raped female should be forced to carry her rapists fetus to turn. If men gave birth, they would know to force childbirth is cruel & unusual punishment.

Who is adopting all those unwanted babies? Those forced childbirths? Put into the system, abused by foster parents, aged out at 18 with no place to go? 

It has zero effect on my life if a teenager, gotten pregnant by boyfriend  ~ whose first words are: "It isn't mine," ~ leaves her to deal with the unwanted pregnancy, choses doctor assistance to terminate the pregnancy. 

Let the choice be between the pregnant females and her religious beliefs.
