They're Risking Women's LIVES



North Dakota has become a clear example of what happens when abortion becomes a felony, a shift that changes not only the law but the relationship between families, doctors and the government. After Roe was overturned, many states adopted total or near total bans with extremely narrow exceptions and severe criminal penalties, placing medical judgment under the control of legislators. North Dakota’s ban follows that pattern, allowing abortion only in rare cases of rape, incest or severe medical risk, which forces doctors into defensive medicine where every decision carries the threat of prison. Other states with similar bans have already seen delayed care, out of state transfers and growing danger for patients, especially in rural areas with limited access. Whether a person supports abortion or not, the core question remains the same: in a medical emergency, should the final decision rest with the doctor at the bedside or with a law written years earlier by politicians who will never meet the patient whose life depends on it?

So, if your cow dies birthing a calf, what do you do?

Get another cow.

That's it.

The astounding indifference to women and girls, the devaluation of their lives and well-being, and the inability to consider them even human are what support these attitudes.

... these are the same people who screech about FREEDOM! But their concept of freedom is a one-way street, only guaranteeing their unfettered freedom to deny others the freedom to make medical decisions for themselves.
