Didn't you ever watch the show?

I have an idea for spec script for that show "A Very Special HandMaid's Tale."

A woman works for the Gilead government as a bounty hunter.

She goes to Canada and grabs people who have fled the country.

Then she is betrayed by the Gilead Leaders and the she gets her revenge.

The journal article, published in the American Journal of Obstetrics and Gynecology, describes the experience of two large Texas hospitals over a period of eight months following that legislation. The authors, who care for patients at those hospitals, describe how their hospitals managed 28 women who presented at less than 22 weeks’ gestation with serious complications following the ban on abortion.

Without the ability to offer abortion to their patients, all 28 women were managed expectantly. This is a medical way of saying that they waited for something terrible to happen. That wait lasted, on average, nine days.

During that nine days of waiting, here is what was achieved for the babies: 27 of the patients had loss of the fetus in utero or the death of the infant shortly after delivery. Of the entire cohort, one baby remained alive, still in the NICU at time of the journal article’s publication, with a long list of complications from extreme prematurity, including bleeding in the brain, brain swelling, damage to intestines, chronic lung disease. and liver dysfunction. If a baby survives these complications, they often result in permanent, lifelong illnesses.

During those nine days of waiting for an immediate threat to maternal life, here is what happened to the women of that cohort: Most of them went into labor, or had a stillbirth, which meant the medical team could then legally intervene and empty the uterus. Fifty-seven percent of those pregnant women had some sort of complication, and for about a third of them, it was serious enough to require intensive-care admission, surgery, or a second admission to the hospital. One of the 28 patients ended up with a hysterectomy, which means she will never carry a pregnancy again. The authors of the article estimate, based on their pre-September practice, that about half of those maternal complications would have been avoided if immediate abortion had been offered as a choice. But of course, post-September in Texas, these women didn’t get a choice.

Not surprising. This is why full on binary approaches don’t work.

the world is high def, full of color.

our government is failing us distilling complex topics to “yes, no”.

I don’t believe in full on baby killing season and I do believe for balanced approaches with appropriate medicinal intervention for both mom and baby.

Shouldn't have been vaccinated - you wouldn't have these problems.

the matter of overturning Roe v Wade turning out to be a flop just like the Red Wave?

I'd say I have a pretty good read on the situation.
At least the shithole Republican states get to make some women suffer.
