Options for treating pregnant women for cancer.
14th Amendment forbids the states from depriving any person of “life, liberty, or property, without due process of law” and from denying anyone equal protection under the law.
States like Texas deprive females of liberty when it comes to pregnancy, and also want to penalize them, often forcing them to go through court.
A woman with a miscarriage went to jail due to medical personnel reporting her for a self-induced pregnancy termination. It is a sad precedent that many females will now need to prove a miscarriage was natural.
A doctor in Ohio is being investigated after ending the ten-year-old rape victim's pregnancy at the request of her parents.
Luckily an embryo will abort (according to article) by two weeks due to certain chemo drugs or tests. Unlucky the woman who learns that her fetus became deformed due to cancer treatment if she learns that after 6 weeks of pregnancy.
The 8th Amendment prohibits cruel & unusual punishment. Forcing a pregnant woman with cancer to continue pregnancy of a deformed fetus is cruel. It would be unusual for men to suffer the same fate.
How about arresting, fining, jailing the boy/man who created an unwanted pregnancy.
The Supreme Court gave states the green light to (mis)treat females in any manner they deem fair, for having the audacity to get cancer while pregnant. Or consenting to rape & incestuoud relationships.

Emissions of ethylene oxide
Emissions of ethylene oxide have been linked to cancer. I considered joining a class action lawsuit targeting B.Braun plant in Allentown Pennsylvania as the gas has been known to cause lymphoma.
Two years ago I was diagnosed (and treated) for Mantle Cell Lymphoma. The doctors do not know what caused it. I started having symptoms at least a year prior to being hospitalized with the terminal cancer. I lived in several Allentown locations after relocating to the East Coast several years ago. All being within 5 mile radius of that plant.
I did not inquire about my eligibility to join the lawsuit because I do not know how the lawyers can prove that my Lymphoma was caused by B. Braun emissions of ethylene oxide.
I also did not want the hassle of gathering paperwork, and/or phone calls.
And, I smoked cigarettes for most of my adult lifetime. Perhaps that caused the cancer? I think, maybe due to being forced to smoke outdoors everywhere, that I was deep breathing in the emissions of ethylene oxide, especially times when I walked many miles from DMV to daughter's home or walk to/from other daughter's home to go to stores.
Several of my neighbors smoke outdoors daily, some more often than I did when I still smoked. To the best of my knowledge none of them have had cancer. Only one that I know of does much walking or being outdoors other than smoking. Several of them have cars and thus in and out of vehicles when shopping.
Also, if I were to be awarded a substantial settlement in that lawsuit, I might have to move from my low-income senior housing unit.
I have been told that B. Braun has cleaned up their emissions, but I wonder how Supreme Court mandated end to some EPA restrictions will prevent other companies from poisoning the air citizens breathe.
