- Five women who say they were denied abortions in Texas, US, despite facing life-threatening health risks, have sued the state over its abortion ban.
Texas bars abortions, except for medical emergencies, with doctors facing up to 99 years in jail for violations.
The lawsuit claims that many doctors are refusing the procedure even in extreme cases, for fear of prosecution.
One of the five women, Amanda Zurawski speaks to the BBC’s Christian Fraser about the emotional pain she faced when seeking an abortion following life-threatening complications with her pregnancy.

My wife had an abortion because our baby was diagnosed with a severe skeletal dysplasia on the 21 week ultrasound. She had a severely small rib cage, undeveloped lungs and would have suffocated to death if carried to term. The abortion had to be approved by the hospitals ethics committee. All late abortions are done for dire reasons. We don’t need more laws regulating this.
Exactly. The people worried about the death part are so simple minded - no human being deserves to be born in such a state of suffering, let alone the fact that they would only exist for a short time anyway. Abortions are sometimes ethically necessary and even in the states with the most protections on abortion, it is taken very seriously especially once the fetus in more developed.
In your opinion is it alright to push a terminally ill person off a cliff?
@@MyDuckSaysFucc No human being deserves to be born into suffering, but they do deserve to be torn limb from limb in order to avoid suffering, right?
@@wordforever117 the terminally ill person has lived a life and had a family (and even a terminally ill person can ask for euthanasia, he can also be unplugged if unconscious with no hopes waking up, it’s always a hard decision for the family, but so is abortion) whereas the baby that will die a few weeks after being born will experience nothing than suffering.
Moreover I think everyone would agree that a baby will understands suffering much more than an less developed fœtus, so it’s probably more humane to abort it. *On top of that,* you forget that carrying the baby puts a severe strain of the mother’s body so I don’t see the point of giving birth to a baby that will die a few weeks afterwards. You have to realize that no matter wether you abort or not, the fœtus/baby will die (the only difference is that the baby will die only a few months later, and the body of the mother will suffer from giving birth).
@@wordforever117 the embryo develops by consuming the nutrients off from the mother’s body so your comparison is all over the place.
There is a common and interesting analogy about abortion : let’s say we tie up a very ill person to your back and connect your blood vessels to his, so that he can live off from your nutrients until he’s completely healed after 9 month. Will you cut him off of your back (which will result in his death) or let him consume your nutrients so that he can live (as you see the debate isn’t as simple as « is it moral to kill some innocent person ? », since it’s not completely safe).
Now imagine this very I’ll person will die either way (with only a few month gap) regardless of whether you let him live off of your blood or not. Will you let him on your back or cut him off ?
These barbaric laws are targeting young American women of child bearing age. The state of Texas is practicing medicine without a license, which Is illegal and amoral. Also, targeting and discrimination against women and denying life saving health care is unconstitutional and a violation of human rights. Thank you for your intelligent and compassionate reporting. If women in the US are being denied modern comprehensive and life saving maternal and reproductive health care, they are citizens without full rights and this is taxation without representation. This is worse than pre Roe days 50 years ago.
Good point.
Violating human rights. It'll be murder when they die.

Hello I want to have a word with you
Women outnumber men in the usa all they have to do is vote the Republicans out.
These crazy religious people!! They are willing to kill an adult educated doctor or nurse or kill a mother, but save an unborn, unwanted child. These childrens who will be born into unwanted homes, most likely will end up in foster homes, get abused, then become the next generation of drug abusers, drug dealers, homeless, become a murderer or become a burden on the same society who ruled to have them born and suffer a life time on this planet!
"Doctor was permitted to give me healthcare." What is the point of doctors if they have to be PERMITTED to do what they learned and know to be needed? Shame
as an european who has also been raped and stavbbed , my heart just breaks for american women... it brings literally tears to my eyes...I never thought that handmaids tale could be reality one day...but I feel like that we are going to this direction...and whats the worst is that other western countries try to copy US often and even in my country we have these pro life activists who dont care about the women...fetus is more important than a woman...its horrible I am soo afraid that this trend comes to Europe aswell...thats why I got myself sterilized at age 26 I feel sooo much more confident now...I know that this sh*t can never happen to me,, crazy tghing is that I needed to go to another country to even get myself sterilized cause they dont allow it in my country unless you have 3 children at least
@@HK-gm8pe Most abortion cases are not those who have been raped, it is mostly people who have had sex and can't accept the natural consequence of it and see the baby as an "inconvenience". I recommend searching up how different abortion procedures are performed, it is one of the most horrific things I have ever read. One procedure quite literally involves twisting and pulling the limbs off of the baby one by one.
They are punishing the families who actually want children. I would prevent getting pregnant in the US at all costs.
We no longer have a law that kills babies and that hurts people trying to have families how.
You are slow.
She had a medical condition. We don’t just let girls kill kids because they want to now. Unfortunately a situation can occur like this. Grey area of emergency or not.
It’s still safe in places like here in California or in New York. It’s just that half the states are red states, and today’s Republicans have decided that fascism is just the ticket to help them win in future elections. Apparently committing treason with Putin and Russia didn’t quite cut it.
It also doesn’t help that Republicans have been planning this for over 50 years, ever since abortion was made legal in all 50 states in 1973. Democrats never thought that the other party would ever take it this far - but had they talked to ANY woman of color, they would have known, and they would have planned for this ages ago 😔
It's the height of irony because more "life" is "murdered" in fertility clinics than any abortion clinic can hope to achieve! (Epic /s)
this is not in every state though-Texas is the most conservative place on earth
There are also now moves to restrict access to contraception as well, so unfortunately choice is becoming less and less of an option.
This is why politics shouldn't interfere in Healthcare, leave medicine to qualified medical professionals.

I cant imagine being in this womans situation, it must be extremely infuriating that you have to wait until the brink of death to receive what should be basic and necessary care
ABORTION IS MURDER
Yeah sure
@@lightingbolt8148 you said absolutely nothing to the conversation
It’s depressing and gruesome. I remember when I had a fetus that had died but wouldn’t abort naturally and the earliest time my gynecologist could perform the surgery was one week later. Having to walk around with a dead creature in my uterus for one week, I found very creepy, not to mention still experiencing all the pregnancy symptoms because my body thought it was still pregnant.
So she wanted to kill the baby before it died??? She said daughter.🤔 Usually we do not kill something until it dies, or at least drug the person so they will not feel pain.
What a backward society
Backwards in everyway mate it goes even deeper than this
It’s a very popular law. Also Texas is so backward all the people in pro abortion states are flooding into Texas to live.
They are when Republicans are in power. They are so $#%%ing holier than thou, and a lot of the GOP House Republicans (past and present) are white men who have had adulterous affairs, mistresses etc. Two faced a***holes

To be 100% clear, she will also have been charged by the hospital for treating her ‘avoidable’ sepsis. Wouldn’t want a hospital executive to miss out on optional extras for his Mercedes’ car, would we? 😮😮😮
...or her Porsche.
Women can be hospital executives too!
And those charges will be very high
This isn’t about a hospital wanting to charge her more. U clearly don’t understand the situation. Go back to ur video games, alcohol, Russian/Chinese propaganda, or whatever u normally use to damage ur brain cells.
Meanwhile here in the UK. Waited over a year to be seen only to be fobbed off.
The surgery would cost me £500 private no fuss, just done.
Sadly Im FORCED to pay £3k a year to the NHS in national insurance payments and cant afford the surgery I need.
I would LOVE to be funding the Mercedes.
Instead I fund useless wasters as the tiktok dance in hospitals while people die of covid and we all get locked in our houses under threats of fines.
Exactly GREED is what is driving this whole thing
These laws in the USA are draconian and absolutely irrational . I pity american women and pharmacies that dont sell pills should be boycotted
Perhaps purchasing a condom or contraceptive is a better alternative.
I feel bad for the women who are so horny that they cannot use protection. And then they go kill babies because they were so horny that they didn't care about cream pie. These babies did nothing wrong and you are a sinner
@@RhizometricReality what's that?
@@MG-eh6bx 99% efficiency is not 100% mate . You also have to think although not her case rapist don’t think about condoms so that statement is not always the answer. And even in some republican states they are pushing to ban birth control as well so still no

Watching Amanda speaking the horrendous facts of her situation whilst doing her best to maintain her composure is such an unfair situation that her society has put herself in.
It’s clear that she’s not completely come to terms with mind blowing insanity of her trauma, and that she has not finished grieving.
Not cracking whilst on camera for the BBC must have been one of the most courageous and difficult things she’s ever had to do. I just want to give this woman a hug; it wouldn’t bring back her daughter but at least she’d know people recognised her suffering.
F___ the republicans. How dare they author such pain.
Exactly. And I still would have admired her if she'd lost her you-know-what on camera. Who would blame her?
Oh wait, that's right. Texas GOP men would. smh
I cannot imagine being in this womans situation
Just a question: When do you think abortion should be banned? Abortion is used mostly by people who have had sex and can't accept the natural consequence of it and see the baby as an "inconvenience". It is rare cases when there is actually something wrong with the baby/the mother's life is threatened. I recommend searching up how different abortion procedures are performed, it is one of the most horrific things I have ever read (I was pro-choice until I researched what actually happens). One procedure quite literally involves twisting and pulling the limbs off of the baby one by one (known as D&C - Dilation and curettage).
But you're being empathetic by trying to imagine. The politicians who decided this inhumane nonsense are, unfortunately, NOT imagining being in the woman's situation. Or, they are and don't care.
Get those criminal politicians and judges out of power and stop them harming so many innocent lives. They should be locked up, not in office.
Vote them out.
These laws better stay far away from the UK.
Yeah, we like killing 200'000 babies each year. More sacrifices for Moloch.
Abortion is a settled matter in the UK. The Abortion Act of 1967 allows abortion up to 24 weeks provided there is agreement from two doctors. Also since the courts are independent from Government, the chances of judges overturning this law is pretty much impossible.
@@inbb510 The 1967 law allowed abortions up to 28 weeks, but this was changed in the late 1980s. And one day it will be lowered even further as we finally catch up with modern medicine which sees babies born well before 24 weeks surviving outside the womb. One day we will again be proven wrong.
It would be horrible to protect the weakest and most vulnerable people in society wouldn't it? Let's keep it so that the strong get their preferences and the weak get killed. That is you view isn't it?
@@wordforever117 how many "weak" people have you adopted and fed/educated?
I’m from Spain in Europe.If the US continues in this path , a country we used to admire , it will become completely barbaric , backward in every sense .
As a woman , I’m glad to live else where, mind you, I had the opportunity to live in Austin, but preferred to stay in my own country, for personal reasons, even though at the time it was a wonderful place..
It’s Depressing to think civil rights , so hardly fought , have been lost..and need to be recovered.I am sad for people will suffer, not only women, men also, they also have wife’s , daughters sisters girlfriends ,or simply want to leave in a modern society , with basic human rights.
Let me tell you TO all those that do not approve of the right to have an abortion.
First of all its not compulsory,
Second and embrión it’s not a baby until it’s born, whether you like it or not.
Third , To have a baby in non suitable conditions, with no support in anyway just because you are obliged, that’s when real cruelty starts on the life’s of the baby and the mother..
Fourth , A question for you . Are you or that government , going to support economically and in every aspect the basics of an upbringing? Or that’s when you end your ideals?
Leaving the baby , and mother in utter poverty and misery , in many cases, ..good job!
Because once it’s born and it’s a baby , then ,there something really important, the upbringing of a human being, something which you do not care on the least.OBVIOUSLY.
Fourth , you are the living hypocrisy, for the same reason , you could not approve certain scientific studies(mother cells) but you do ! because you need them for your own personal health issues.
Sixth , all the obvious medical reasons , when the pregnancy can become fatal for the mother and embryo..like an ectopic pregnancy.All The reasons why this women have sued that government.Something which in your views does not seemed to be even considered.
And finally , this is personal.No one has an abortion “for pleasure or contraception” ITS traumatic.
And if you lot , had a full filed life , you would not need to impose on others your fundamentalist ideas and your backward understanding of religious thought , you ..fanatic freaks.

What a brave woman. I hope that you are able to have a family because you will be an amazing mother.
Yeah, the land of the free... This woman would have qualified for abortion in Iran, Saudi Arabia, UAE, Qatar and Zimbabwe, among many other countries. These are some of the more restrictive countries regarding abortion, yet they all allow abortions under these medical conditions. The USA always looks down on China and Russia, but both these countries allow abortion in almost all cases. Indeed, an oppressive society...
I'm a former healthcare worker, and I left the profession when I was prohibited from treating a child without parental consent due to some stupid law. There were two options - certain death or treatment with a 7% statistical probability of failure. Parents chose the former after about 5 hours of a team of doctors trying to convince them otherwise. They were convinced it was their daughter's time to die, and we shouldn't interfere by defiling her body with our medical procedures. Nonetheless, the law respected those parents' wishes to refuse treatment, even if it resulted in certain death. Society lost a bright young teenager that day, as well as an ER doctor.
No law should prevent a doctor from performing their duties to society. You can feel how you want about elective abortions, but if a medical professional determines it's the best option, don't stand in our way. These lawmakers didn't spend years in medical school.
I’m so sorry you had to go through that. I would be unbearable furious and I wouldn’t be able to work in such a horrible environment.
The public is not qualified to speak on this matter. Those parents are murderers and yet they go unpunished. It’s disgusting. Every woman should get an IUD ASAP or do whatever they need to do to protect themselves from such a cruel world that refuses medical cars
Iran allows medical abortions? didnt expect this, will read more in wiki. thank you for sharing your experience. were the parents religious? or why they didnt allow the treatment? 7% is pretty low risk while there is a death on the opposite scale
@@ukraine_will_win_ Iran does allow abortions in such circumstances, but not generally, so actually more liberal than the USA in this regard. They had some religious bias because they mentioned things like that - didn't bother to ask for more details. Anyway, I'm out of the chaos that's the field of medicine.
It's absolutely barbaric waiting until someone's life is in danger before helping them!
If someone's at risk of drowning, you don't leave them in the sea until they definitely are - you try to rescue them before their life is at risk.
These anti-abortion campaigns are putting endangering people's lives and it's only going to get worse if they carry on pushing for things they don't fully understand.
I am so angry these people should not be in charge especially what a woman does with her body
What will happen if woman is abused by someone than is she has to continue her pregnancy ?😶😮
That's right. She will be forced to carry her abusers baby to term. Then either raise it and spend the rest of her life dealing with the trauma, or abandon it to be raised in a government institution or foster care or adopted.
@@user-vg8ox3he1i vaow this is really bad circumstance I am sorry for victims of this law. I hope it changes .
God forbid that the people who pass these laws ever have to walk a mile in the shoes of someone who has to make the choice!
USA is supposed to be the “leader of the free world” yet abortion is a contentious issue. Apparently some states believe that banning abortion doesn’t violate freedom but banning guns does. What a joke
"Leader of the free world." - It's a title they gave themselves
Indeed! I question the USA being the 'leader of the free world." That is in the past but no longer, sadly and all thanks to the Trump cult which continues unabated. My question is this--"Why the f.... don't all the Maga cult members, who obviously like the way Russia , Iran, China and North Korea operate, go and live there and leave the rest of the Americans in peace?
America loves freedom....the freedom for the state to subjugate women as reproductive property under threat of police and legislative violence
They haven’t been the leader of the free world when it comes to setting a good example for a loooooong time.
The world's most developed nation...
Really????
There should be no laws on women’s uteruses. Elective or preventative all women should have full rights to their birth plans, even to terminate.
My whole thing is if there is going to be an abortion ban, Then any man that skips out and doesn't pay child support should be put in a prison work release program. Where he is forced to wear an ankle monitor and is forced to go to work to pay for that kid.
I do hope that the people who made, supported and signed these laws will live a long life filled with daughters and grand-daughters. And that they will reap what they have sowed when their little girls will die in childbirths or lose a uterus, limbs or their life to sepsis when a fetus dies and rots inside of them. I also hope sons, brothers and friends to those people who supported this, I hope they will see the sorrow in their fellow men during those times when a man is powerless to save his family against the goverment he has made.
Men, but also women can be pro-life too. You can also be atheist/agnostic. Let me ask you something: When do you think abortion should be banned? Abortion is mostly used by people who have had sex and can't accept the natural consequence of it and see the baby as an "inconvenience". I recommend searching up how different abortion procedures are performed, it is one of the most horrific things I have ever read (I was pro-choice until I researched what actually happens).

As someone with a conservative parent, PLEASE do not wish this on their daughters. A lot of them will grow up seriously disliking their parents' authoritarianism.
I am so sorry and scared with what is happening in the USA over a woman's right to choose if she wants to have a child. We are at a cross roads in society. Populations are declining in socially developed countries and we have been propping up our traditional systems for economic growth through the use of immigration. We are moving towards a point where if we are to continue to grow our economies we need to either tackle the declining birthrate or develop a better system of importing labor, one that benefits both the countries sending and receiving populations.
Our greatest asset in the UK is our knowledge and the amazing systems we have developed to deliver it; our schools, colleges, companies and universities that train our young people. I am a firm believer that by growing our education sector we can solve both these issues.
When you vote in your local elections please remember to check you are not voting for a pro-life politician as we do have them in the UK.
Eliminating the right to have an Abortion is Not really about Abortion, the right to life; It’s about control.
Yeah, because if The "Virgin" Mary can get pregnant without having sex, then so can you... 🤦🤦♂🤦♀
Nope! You can get pregnant while married too! Sorry your religious background didn’t give you the basics on sex education!
Outside of marriage? This woman was clearly married. And many more the same
this woman had a husband and they wanted that child. she should have had the right to abort (save her reproductive health to be able to have kids in future) and try later again to have a healthy child with the help of doctors if needed.
Because my uterus is the property of the state legislature
What does the Ethics Board have to do with that decision?

This IS the truth of the abortion ban!😢
They wonder why ppl in the U.S don't want or aren't having children.
What a terrible law, this is a crime to deny a patient health care!
I am generally against abortion…especially when it comes to pragmatism in response to unwanted pregnancies. I live in China where it is more than legal and know people who have aborted children due to not getting the right gender. That being said, it is coverage like this that makes us aware that the abortion restrictions can hurt so many women and even result in their deaths. I feel for this woman and people like her who have and will go through similar heartache and dangers.
What has happened to America?
History hardly repeats itself but it often rhymes,,, we’re slowly going back in time and not a thing we can do about it.
Women outnumber men in the USA all they have yo do is vote the republicans out. It's very simple.
I don't know when consciousness shows up but if I was a child growing up I would not choose to live in this world my parents created.
The world created by your parents is one where if they don't feel like allowing you to exist they can book an appointment to have you ripped limb from limb and totally destroyed.
Exactly
Back to coat hangers and staircases? You’ve come a long way, baby.
They dont care. It is easy to worry about the unborn specimens in the womb rather the millions of children in foster care and adoption system. Separation of church and state.
This is a giant Prisoner's Dilemma. The stakes of saving a life are life in prison and crippling debt for their family. The stakes of risking two lives are a medical malpractice suit that will result in a maximum of $750K in damages (average is only $200K) and a potential career change if a review board later deems them unfit to provide care.
Keep in mind that before roe v wade was removed, it was already difficult to get medical care that has anything to do with the term “abortion” I’ve heard about women being denied life saving medication at the pharmacy even when they had an ectopic pregnancy. People are sick and ill informed. It’s criminal.

@DR LARRY NASSAR IS A HERO!!!!!!!! killing the female body you mean? though a sepsis which this embrion gives to the mother through the invasive placenta which is linked directly into arterial blood stream of the mother!!!! educate yourself a bit about female anatomy first.
Heartbreaking
Here's the thing ..we need an equal number of women & men in the boardrooms & legislative bodies of the country ..& an equal number of men & women staffing pre-schools, daycares, serving as nurses, serving the elderly (either in their homes, in care homes etc.) .. we need an equal number of women & men in EVERY field of endeavor (be it pilots, astronauts, game keepers, bingo callers, lunch school monitors, in construction, as surgeons, gardeners, CFOs, CEOs, photo journalists ..you name it ☺) / EVERY sector of the ECONOMY.
A majority of (white, middle aged, straight) men, who call themselves "Christians", ought not be allowed to make laws, which concern a women's body.
The bodily autonomy of men isn't ever questioned, it's automatically granted. So TOO for WOMEN.

These states with these laws should just take it a step further and instead of having any hospitals or doctors anyone with any medical issue should just go to church and pray for whatever issue they have to just go away.
I am utterly surprised by a fetus lasting 3 days without amniotic fluid, which is how a fetus breathes.
So, is it abortion law, healthcare that slows down doctors from performing their duties earlier to save both lives or the system"s procedures, insurance and so forth needed?
i have gone through agony and pain of incomplete abortion due to domestic violence by ex serial killer husband syed aqeel sajjad cid caught hi red handed wth blood and death and i was dying from septic hemorrhagic shock as well dowry abused in uk gmp cid police mcr nhs saved me
From a Medical and moral point of view, i totally agree with the doctor.
If you support the doctors who refused the abortion, you are morally degenerate
there are gun laws that are causing major issues in the states and elsewhere
People need to be more aware and need to raise awareness in order to help those who don’t know what’s happening in these situations. Things are going ballistic
I don't think gun problems is due to any kind of lack of awareness, but on other problems. Abortion might well be, however. Most people are probably not aware of terrible situations like in this video.
I hate to even think it... but how many pregnant women in Texas will begin dying after a bent hanger?
Well said. Historically speaking, legislation doesn't prevent abortions, but it can prevent *safe* abortions.
Hello I want to have a word with you
@@mae8646 So sad.
Wow! We assume that the US medical care focusses strongly on preventive medical care but here.... what could have been clearly averted, was not. Don't these laws have bylaws that could be enforced in cases like Amanda's?
Nobody is going to risk 100 years in Jail to help a woman. People are being charged with crimes for trying to help women make reproductive choices.
The governor is not budging on this
This aired months ago, but none of the Walgreens around me (FL) actually took those pills off the shelves... They might have in some states, though I don't know.
Ladies it’s time to leave Texas 😅
When I go to college I’m definitely leaving this hellhole
it is disgusting and infuriating. women in 21st century have less rights than slaves had centuries ago. but again, if in ancient history a male slave "who was freed" had more rights than a free female citizen, then it says a lot about the progress of humans as species. if this continues like this i hope our planet finally will get a grand cleaning.
Sorry but if this is what she wanted/needed then it is her body and I'm a guy, wtf does that have to do with the state? - Good luck and I hope you get what you're fighting for
I thought this was worth watching. I watched it on the BBC app. Like it or not abortion is healthcare. I'd say in more cases than not I'd be against it but I've found several states have put such restrictions on the care that things like this happen. There's some other similar examples easily found.
👍
Oh my godness
Women need to start just driving to other states to get the medical care they need. I mean, I know it's ridiculous, but it's a temporary solution.
This case was straight forward.once the amnion Leakes before 20weeks it is called Inevitable abortion and Medical Abortion should have Been Provided Right away.whats wrong in USA physicians?
Widespread Panic many doctors will leave those states to go to states with the abortion,Pre-natal, mammogram services because they seem to be almost gone in middle America an the south( of course it’s in the south). What doctor wants to do 100 years in prison for an abortion procedure
Willow "Sounds like a dogs name"
Whats the argument against Leagal voluntary abortion
Who will provide for the children who would otherwise have died due to changes in the Abortion law? If you care so strongly about the preservation of their lives then it's only fair that you take on the responsibility for their welfare and upbringing. So?
America has religious zealots and this is what happens when those zealots hold any form of power.
This is a rare case. An exception to the rule.
You mean the Biden Bolsheviks?
And saddest part is it was founded of secularism. It is shame what happening to parts of USA
Yeah, the religion of scientism, humanism and reductive materialism
Roe v Wade was not a law, it was a case tried by the supreme court back in '73. Once the Supreme Court rules on a case, that is used as a blueprint for lower courts so those courts (particularly the judges) don't waste their time and resources. In this specific case, lower courts had no incentive to accept cases regarding abortion because their ruling would be overturned, given enough appeals (district to circuit to supreme). Such rulings are sometimes called "Case Law" but they are not an official part of the constitution, they are an example of how the current Supreme Court Justices interpret the constitution. For something to be an actual law, it must go through the House and Senate with majority approval and Executive branch (president) approval. Failing presidential approval, it goes back to the Legislative branch where it must get a supermajority in order to override the presidential veto. Only after years or decades of revisions and voting will an official amendment actually be made.
All the Supreme Court did in this instance was to say that that the current sitting justices do not agree with the previous ruling and it is once again open for individual states to regulate (or not) and lower courts to figure out for themselves, should a case be presented to them.
Personally, I believe this is an issue that shouldn't be regulated one way or the other. However, it seems there are plenty of people that have to force their way into other people private affairs so protecting a persons right to make their own decision is better than denying them autonomy with regards to such a major decision.
@DR LARRY NASSAR IS A HERO!!!!!!!! This, coming from a person who glorifies a serial rapist. Your opinion carries very little weight.
So life of American women is not important at all…sad 😢
Very illogical conclusion
Not looking at all well for the pro deathers 👌
She calls it her daughter and the anchor calls is a fetus. Seems like he’s unwilling to humanize the child.
Great point
Hand maids tale was a
I hope she leaves Texas. Anywhere else is better.
I'm sure the communist police state of Canada would be better. ROFL
America becoming a 3rd world country. Good job there guys. Continue on this path for sure....
Live and let live 🏫
Islam is a moderate religion. If a mother's life is in danger and her doctor takes responsibility, then it's lawful. Otherwise, it's not lawful, and indeed, it's a big sin.
Jesus is coming
But, this situation is not an abortion! Someone is confusing medical terminology! Either the news reporters, or local doctors who don’t care about patients, but rather about political issues. Please don’t misuse these situations for your political agenda.
USA - the land of freedom, isn't it?
sick society fascists
4-5 good.
Remember people those Jesus freaks are from heaven 🌵☮️😭
Just...wow. Also, BOYCOTT WALGREENS. Ugh!
