Regarding the case of the #Ohio woman who #miscarried at home, she had gone to the #hospital twice, been told that the pregnancy was #nonviable, but refused to do anything because #Ohio's #law made them fear giving #treatment.

The #welfare of the #patient is the first concern of #healthcare workers and the hospital staff should face #professional #discipline and gross #malpractice liabilities that end their careers.

On Monday, #KateCox #fled #Texas to seek an #abortion, after the #state #invoked its #authority to #force her to carry a #nonviable #pregnancy to #term. #Pregnant with what they’d hoped would be their third #child, Cox and her husband had learned that the #fetus had a #fatal #abnormality, #Trisomy18, ensuring that even if #delivered, the #child would #live a #short, #excruciating #life and #die a #painful #death.

This summer, for example, the American Association of #ProLife #Obstetricians & #Gynecologists published a “Glossary of #Medical Terms” instructing #doctors on what “life affirming” #language to use. Under their guidance, a woman whose fetus has a fatal anomaly would be told NOT that the condition is #terminal but that it’s “life limiting.” Similarly, if someone’s water breaks months before her due date, she would be informed NOT that the #pregnancy is #nonviable but that it’s “pre-viable.”

• A 24-year-old woman fled her home state of #Wisconsin to get an #abortion in #Chicago, only to find out that, upon her return, the abortion may not have worked. Before Roe’s overturning, the doctor could have immediately helped her but now, with abortion banned in WI the woman had to wait, bleeding and at risk of going into deadly #sepsis. 

• In #Louisiana, another woman was not able to get in-state abortions even though her #fetus was #nonviable. She had to travel about 1,400 miles to get an abortion in #NewYork.

• In #Ohio two children had recently fled to #Michigan & #Indiana for abortions after getting pregnant through #rape.

• Ohio, 2 women couldn’t get treatment for #cancer while pregnant.

• In #Arizona, a 14-year-old who used methotrexate to control her #RheumatoidArthritis had her prescription denied because, her doctor believes, #methotrexate can be used to end a #pregnancy.
