A lot of nutjobs these days don't care as long as it doesn't affect them personally.
If you are in a cult you just follow the leader.
My heart goes out to you and all others who have to face this
EXACTLY !!!!
Then eventually it will affect them personally and they will blame the government and everyone else even though they demanded it. I was just going with the flow basically.
You know if the politicians who supported it have an affair they will still find a way to get it done. That is the crazy part. The right is the party of we hate this but we always participate lol
@@kutliksProbably not. The mortality rate for pregnancy is 0.0002%. So I don’t think it’s that’s big a deal!
There's a really good article somewhere out there titled "The only moral abortion is mine." I'd recommend giving it a read through, OP, but you seem to already grasp what it's trying to get across.
Thank you for fighting and calling out the ignorants.I wish you & your family well.
We live in awful times.
Ignorance is rampant, especially among those that claim they’re the most religious and most patriotic
I agree I've always been weary of those type of people since my childhood. I've notice they shout the loudest but are the quickest to turn their backs on the things they claim to support with extreme prejudice
The purpose of all religions is to make and keep people ignorant, a well educated population is the death nell for religion, it happened here In Ireland and it happened in much less than a generation and we are a much better country because of it
I know. It's gotten to the point I feel like they're taking the American flag and ruining it. They're the opposite of patriots! "The land of the free" somewhere along the way Republicans and their base forgot this. It's ridiculous to try to control people. It's easy af to just mind your own business... "live and let live"
That is exactly what I've noticed also. As time goes on, it's getting worse.
The ignorance is not a bug, it's a feature. If you really start to think, reflect and get proper information, you need to change your views to align with reality. That in turn tends to put GOP out of power...
Its not that they dont understand... THEY DONT CARE.... unless it happens to them.
Bingo! And if it happens to them it's justified, but not for anyone else. These are ppl who cannot walk in anyone else's shoes. Religious zealotry is a real problem in the US. The cult con has been on since before the founding of the country.
Yup. That’s exactly what changed his mind.
Yup.
They understand and still don't care, because they have convinced themselves that their God demands it of everyone - but they themselves are fine if they just confess their sins afterwards. Because they are the cream of the crop, the noblest of the noble, yadda yadda yadda
That's medically referred to as NARCISSISM
The problem originates with the people who make the law and their arrogance in believing it's what God wants.
They don't beleive it.
It's a way of distracting rheir base and keeping rhem righteous and enraged.
Easy to control.
we have people who believe there are more than 2 genders in our government. These people don't believe in biology.
In the old testament, God isn't against abortion. A baby is considered human until it takes first breath. Jesus even talked about using tonics to help abortion
@@PaulMacLean-bh8fiengaged, Yes. Righteous, no. There's nothing righteous about the maga cult.
These people are crazy. So they want to rule supposedly gods rules. So what’s next we going to band blood transfusion to save a life cause Jehovah witness say it’s wrong. We don’t all believe the same way.
So sorry for your loss and your horrific experience.
VOTE BLUE SO IT DOESN'T HAPPEN TO YOU! 🌊🌊🌊🌊🌊🌊🌊🌊🌊🌊🌊🌊
I doubt Fox and the like are covering stories like this.
Fox is a full throttle extremist network that indulge in racism and everything eles
After writing the check to Dominion they decided they have to hold back on some things lol.
Also, the abortion issues have started eating away from Republican votes and ballot measures, so they want to stray away these days.
They are they're just spinning it or out right lying like they usually do.
This is a bad problem, they are not covering enough stories main stream of what couples and women going thru now VOTE BLUE 💙💙💙
Well said sir
In a time when everyone but teachers are consulted in regard to education, why would you be surprised that everyone but physicians are consulted in regard to medical issues?
Because they will not inject very powerfull light... And I would say it is worst in education... They do complete nut job... In engineering it is also quite bad... That is what happend when you make profit over life and have TOTAL IMMUNITY... Like boeing...
It's the opinion fallacy. While everyone is entitled to their own opinion, they are not automatically entitled to have that opinion respected, or even considered _sane._
Exactly! As a teacher for 30 years, I keep saying the same thing.
You have my sympathy. I am so sorry you had to go through that, both the miscarriage and the backlash. I hope your wife is okay.
Why are you calling a dead baby in the womb a miscarriage ??
@@glendamartin8065 Dictionary definition of miscarriage: 1) A miscarriage (also called a spontaneous abortion) is the unexpected ending of a pregnancy before the fetus is able to survive independently of the womb. May include, but is not limited to, the spontaneous expulsion of the fetus from the womb. 2) An unsuccessful outcome of something planned. *That’s why.* It’s also a tragedy that this couple went through this experience. Do you have a problem with that, too?
@@glendamartin8065Do you seriously not know what a miscarriage is???
@@glendamartin8065
What do you think it is?
GOP Ignorance is anything but bliss
They are mysogynist SADISTS. The "right to life" was ALWAYS a political canard to promote and cultivate FASCISM, while wearing a mask of a faith whose teachings they hate.
Tell me a man can get pregnant again then we will discuss ignorance
@@jimbob498This is why people treat you like children.
@@jimbob498 tell me you've already learned everything you need to know and I'll tell you you've learned nothing
What actually happened !!!did the baby die in the womb or did she have a miscarriage ????
The law and ultimately the deplorables just need to go away.
When Hillary called them deplorable they thought they could get deplorted. That's how smart they are.
@@jacquesphilippon5999 LOL.
Right winters seem to be filled with hate and rage toward anyone who refuses to live their way. They can pretend it's the other way around, but literally all anyone is asking of THEM is to leave others alone and be respectful.
Abortion is healthcare. Restore Roe. 💙🇺🇸
Abortion is murder...do better
You people amaze me.
Restore roe, so a president can sign am executive order banning abortion nation wide.
Did you know the the original ruling explicitly said that the government maintains the ability to restrict access to abortions based on age of fetus?
Of course you didn't. 90 percent of you people are so under informed. You're literally mad that you have freedom.
If DeSantis would have made it to president, he would have made abortion ilegal in all 50 states on day one. He said that verbatim. Now there is no option of that ever happening, period
@bmay282 how about we do this may be a compromise every women gets 2 no questions asked abortions after the 2nd mandatory tubes tied or hysterectomy preventing any future pregnancy
@@tylermalensek8654 I have a better idea. Have the government mandate that every boy entering puberty must have a vasectomy. When they’re ready to start a family , they get to have it reversed. 🙄
@monicadefreitas8776 nope because a vasectomy can be permanent and women can still have abortion after abortion after abortion costing tax payers millions
I'd move out of the backwards state of Texas.
Not everyone can afford to do so. And sometimes that means losing your family support and jobs
One in three pregnancies spontaneously miscarry. This law ,or the biased interpretation of it, is responsible for women dying.
Horsecock.
When a miscarriage happens the baby is expelled from the body ! If the baby dies. The Womb it is not a miscarriage! And I don't know where in this law it says s woman has to carry a dead baby ! An abortion is the termination of a live baby !!
That's utter bollox!
@@crizzhutch1066 Actually, no, it's not. Many pregnancies end in spontaneous abortion.
@@crizzhutch1066 Miscarriages occur much more frequently than most people realize. If you don't believe in statistics, talk to a doctor, a real one, not Dr. Oz or Dr. Phil.
Unfortunately at least half of people in America are indeed clueless. You need only consider the fact that Americans typically vote on personality, not policy; on style rather than substance. etc. This is clearly the result of the American education system, a system that has been (by far) performing the worst in the western world - FOR DECADES.
Not half. Much less than.u think. They are trolls. Their goal is to divide. Abortion.was used to instigate every 4 years for decades because it works so well.
Thanks, GOP for “No Child Left Behind”
The GOP wants to get rid of the Dept of Education! So, all the "workers" [as Speaker Johnson calls the babies] that are born from no woman being able to judge for herself if her family needs another child that may then lack the attention it needs. And the education it deserves. THINK> VOTE BLUE GET RID OF THE GOOP. 🌊🌊🌊🌊🌊🌊🌊🌊🌊🌊🌊🌊🌊🌊🌊🌊
@@kathleenmann7311 More like every child must belive the magical wizard in the sky and that the wizard is american and love money and guns... and hate health and books... but love tax cut... The real total Jesus Christ you know...
blame Republicans in Congress who want everyone to pay TUITION to PRIVATE SCHOOLS for K-12 education
This is exactly what happens when you choose faith over science
And your country's constitution.
Much like the 28 genders😂
I hope this is the wake up call that Republican WOMEN. They need to stop investing in a political party that labeled women as solely BREEDERS, regardless of how old the female is what they're carrying, how they got it or who they're carrying it for.
@@grantorino7644 A valid, but a COMPLETELY different issue.
They are separate and should never be compared.
They Understand....They just Don't Giva....🤦
Religion crossing the political border is the problem. No separation of church and state anymore.
That is why we need to protest in front of their churches
The GOOP doesn't care about religion. They're using it just like the beginners to control the ignorant uninformed people with fear. The is NOTHING TO FEAR BUT THEM, GOOP.🌊🌊🌊🌊🌊🌊🌊🌊🌊🌊🌊
This government was built on Christian principles by our founding fathers ! And the statement " separate of church and state " has been mis represented!! People need to read the history and what the law that was set up in the bill of rights , freedom of worship was because our founders came here because the government was telling them how to worship and they never said separate the church from the state it was worked to keep the government from telling people how to worship !!!!
@@glendamartin8065 Is Mormonism Christian? Would you be OK. Is the government built on Mormon principles?
@glendamartin8065 many of the founding fathers also owned human beings as well. Don't try to bring up history in the mix about Christian values for as the okay as well when the Establishment Clause even confirms the government will not establish a religion lol
A Doctor Who spent years and hundreds of thousands of dollars to get a degree to practice medicine; aren’t going to risk it because of a vague law that isn’t cut dry and clear, especially when it’s clear the punishment for providing care is imprisonment and loss of license, it’s not worth the risk, any doctor who provides care to a mother over the fetus will be suspended, investigated, tarnished and their lives ruined, they are now threatening them with the death penalty as an extra punishment, these people want to control the masses with these insane inhumane laws.
Now think WHY
@@louriz7488
Because men don’t care if women die during a non-viable pregnancy, especially if they’re not related to those women.
Does that sound like you?
Then a smart doctor would leave Texas.
@@louriz7488 Because women aren't actually people according to the people making these laws, and thus can be completely controlled if they do things right. you can always get another one .../s
@@louriz7488 Simple... They want poor deplorable without teeth... Because they vote for them...
I have understood since 1987, when an abortion clinic saved my life because a hospital denied me care for an infected pregnancy.
Sir, you need to go on the nightly news in Texas all over your state. This is not getting out to Texas voters. Don't stop fighting for your wife and all women.
Bingo on the "not getting out" part. The Republigelical cult lives in a tiny bubble of misinformation.
They don't understand and they don't want to understand. It's called Willful Ignorance. They will continue to criminalize everything that doesn't fit their narrow view and beliefs and fail to realize that continuing along that path will continue to narrow that view until they start destroying themselves.
To be fair, both sides are like that. But on this issue it's mainly the trash GOP
@@blackdolphin8643No both sides are not about this issue. Some People on both sides understand but that group on the right will tow the party line no natter what. Then later will find out all they lost towing that party line.
@@blackdolphin8643
Quit the “both sides” bs. This is driven by Republicans who hate women and don’t care what happens to them or the “babies”. The “babies” are just an excuse.
As a man I could never understand how women in the USA can vote against their own interest. You might as well build a time machine and go back to the 1800's.
You need religion to do that
Gus, this is not the time to make it about YOU.
@@bobbob-vw4cc I am so sorry my comment goes against the vision of your cult leader.
sadly, many of these women have been brainwashed by religion and their peers. plus republican women are usually the types that don’t believe in having differing opinions from their husbands and since their husbands are republican men you can guess who the husband is voting for
Agree with you 💯%!!!
People should sue every republican that voted for this bill to become law for damages since these legislators knew full well what would happen and did it anyway.
we need to vote out anyone that don't believe in biology. there are only 2 genders.
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
@@crizzhutch1066 What? When you get told that something you do will get someone else killed and you do it anyway, that's negligent homicide or involuntary manslaughter.
@@glennjanot8128 while I believe the ban is wrong. You can't sue because you don't like it. You have to get the laws changed.
@@crizzhutch1066 This has nothing to do with not liking it. This has to do with the fact that women are dying because of the ambiguous nature of the bill and the fact that these republican lawmakers were told that this would happen.
Because of that, doctors don't dare treat women with miscarriages beyond the first treatment but if that fails, they can't continue until they're basically dying already.
Just read the story of Ryan Hamilton and his wife.
Willful ignorance. In 2004 I was lucky to get the healthcare I needed for a pregnancy that was never going to result in a live birth, saving myself from a bleeding emergency. I was here to raise my other two children and to continue my (at that time)15 year marriage. My kids are now grown and we will be celebrating 36 years this year, no thanks to the GOP. 1/3 of all pregnancies end in miscarriage for those who say it isn’t very common.
The problem is when legislators want to play doctor. How are these laws not being treated as medical malpractice?!
Give people someone to kick down at and they will feel better about themselves. "At least we are not this or that group". Pathetic how easily manipulated people can be.
It is as though most of the people living in the world today have no empathy or ability to put themselves in someone else's shoes with humility in a real and honest way.
I am so very sorry!! There are so many delusional ignorant people... hiding under God, but they r the first to respond violently & throw stones. Unfortunately, it IS politics coming from the Trump Party...there is no longer a republican party. Keep OUT of private lives!!! Be safe😢
So True
And then there were some of us that thought Roe was in danger years ago.
"Avoidable human misery is more often caused not so much by stupidity as by ignorance, particularly our ignorance about ourselves."
FACT CK EVERYTHING THEY, THE GOP SAYS, BECAUSE THEY'RE LIARS.
Lots of that going around.
I delivered an anacephalic to a couple once. It had a heartbeat. It had NO HEAD. I'll never forget their reaction to it. I delivered a fetus with a copper IUD in its skull and brain to a woman who was having horrible pain that was blown off as normal. It was having non stop seizures from the extreme brain damage and trying to abort itself.
Sweet baby June berries!
I had 3 miscarriages while stationed in Texas in the early 90's. So glad we had more freedom of care.
The problem lies in a lack of empathy. People often need to experience something themselves in order to truly relate to others. While I've always considered myself pro-life, I've never believed that I or the government should have the final say on this issue.
Murder is wrong.Even before 73 it was still wrong.
So sorry foolishness and blindness of some people. These people are totally lost in their souls. Their hearts are mush just like the brain. It a sad thing to witness. I'm so sorry for your loss. Stay strong young man.
If I was practicing gynecology living there, I would quit, and move to another state! from fear of going to jail, just trying to save someone life. What gives ! Or I would be going, because ,I just couldn't let a helpless woman die because I'm too afraid to do my job! .
Triblism! The cognitive dissonance, and the parroting and towing the party line is so strong that they will go against their own well-being just to fit in.
If my miscarriage happened now in Texas, I would hae died and never borthed the son who just started college
Sorry you had to go through that. People think they are right and others should feel the same. They dont understand "live and let live" and won't understand until something happens to them or a loved one. And now we have a Supreme Court whose majority is ignorant so we have a big struggle ahead of us.
You are so right. They don't understand at all. I hope your wife is alright.
Thank you for sharing your story. More people need to understand how horrific these laws are. 💙✌️🗽

Bro I pray for you and your family. I almost lost my second child which it was my wifes first her placenta started failing we got lucky because we were doing regular checkups still eventful induced labor premature. I think the problem is we got old politicians that can't have children no more and basically don't have a whole lot of time with us trying to regulate what the rest of the population do. Biden is not who I really want but if that other guy gets in we have two more justices retiring and he will put them in there and we will be effected for the next 50 years.
50 years is not enough, it must be law or we'll be going through this again.
Who says if Trump makes it in you will even have the right to vote?
Sorry for what you've had to go through
You are soooo right. I'm so sorry for you and your wife's absolute heartbreak. Loving hugs sent your way.
Some people show how ugly their lack of compassion is.❤❤
Thank you for fighting! I am so very sorry for your loss. You and your wife are brave and strong! I lost a child in infancy. Just keep their memory as part of your life, and as time passes, they will still be there but with less visceral pain. Hugs!
All that have moved to Texas will regret it eventually.
Crazy part is that the majority of Americans support reproductive health care. Vote all of the people supporting pro-life out!
They’re not pro life they’re anti-abortion. If they were pro life they would support mothers and children after birth, which they do not do.

My prayers and understanding of your heartbreak 💔 loss. No one should be denied health care EVER
Polititians should NEVER make medical decisions based on their religious beliefs. Let the woman and her doctor do that based on medical knowledge.
It's sad you lost a babby everyone knows abortion wrongly. Women's wright's to health care just as inpatient . Abortion should be put to the doctor,parents and God (NOT THE GOVERNMENT)
Why should killing a baby be up to anyone’s decision?

@@markhudson6137says the person reverting to insult.. I’ll gladly defend my view
@@jimbob498 first off I bet you don't even know what happened to his wife. Yet you're here spewing your beliefs that come from a book that in itself is full of hypocrisy.
Hosea 9:11-16 Hosea prays for God’s intervention. “Ephraim shall bring forth his children to the murderer. Give them, 0 Lord: what wilt thou give? Give them a miscarrying womb and dry breasts. . .Ephraim is smitten, their root is dried up, they shall bear no fruit: yea though they bring forth, yet will I slay even the beloved fruit of their womb.” Clearly Hosea desires that the people of Ephraim can no longer have children. God of course obeys by making all their unborn children miscarry. Is not terminating a pregnancy unnaturally “abortion”?
Bless you and your family, thank you for standing up for yourselves and so many others
Thank you for sharing your story. As a TX resident, I stand beside you.
Having a miscarriage is no joke nor is it a sin my prayers go out to you and i am sorry for your loss
One time is too many. No family should have their health care decisions blocked by this Kafkaesque horror. Best wishes to this family.

Exactly Right! God bless this beautiful couple for sharing true life reality even surreal moments, stories and experiences positive and negative. Understanding and feelings yet to be faced head on in order to attain the feelings one must weather before a true comprehension of feelings we tend to deny ourselves talking about. In setting feelings apart from the better of our priorities in how to deal with actual feelings. It’s like putting the cart before the horse. Mocking is in substitution for more vulnerable openness beneath the blooming core compassion toward others tragedies. God bless the joy of your little one and family!
