Yvonne ‘looks undocumented’

@gsymon It’s a good thing the Guardian is covering this, since US MSM are too cowardly to do so.

“Six of Idaho’s initial nine maternal fetal medicine specialists have abandoned the state or retired since the abortion ban, with almost one in four of all OB-GYNs leaving.
“To have to move state to be able to practice medicine … I did not expect that in modern-day America,” [Dr] Cooper said.”

The #Trump admin on Wed moved to drop an #EmergencyAbortion case in #Idaho.

The #DOJ filed a motion to #dismiss the lawsuit, which was originally filed by the #Biden admin, in a reversal that could have national implications for #UrgentCare.

The suit had argued that #ER #doctors treating #pregnant women had to provide terminations if needed to save their lives or to avoid serious #health consequences in ID, which has one of the country’s strictest #AbortionBans.

New York doctor indicted for prescribing #AbortionPill in #Louisiana

BATON ROUGE, La. (AP) — "A New York doctor was indicted by a Louisiana grand jury on Friday for allegedly prescribing an abortion pill online in the #DeepSouth state, which has one of the strictest near-total #AbortionBans in the country.

"Grand jurors at the District Court for the Parish of West Baton Rouge issued an indictment against Dr. #MargaretCarpenter; her company, #NightingaleMedical, PC; and a third person. All three were charged with #CriminalAbortion by means of #abortion-inducing drugs, a #felony.

"The case appears to be the first instance of criminal charges against a doctor accused of sending abortion pills to another state, at least since the U.S. Supreme Court overturned #RoeVWade in 2022 and opened the door for states to have strict anti-abortion laws."

In states that ban #abortion, #SocialSafetyNet programs often fail families

By LAURA UNGAR and KIMBERLEE KRUESI, December 27, 2024

MEMPHIS, Tenn. (AP) — "Taylor Cagnacci moved from California to Tennessee with hopes of starting a new chapter in a state that touts a low cost of living and natural beauty.

"But she’s infuriated by Tennessee’s meager social services, which leave her and many other moms struggling in a state where abortion is banned with limited exceptions.

"'I was going to have my child no matter what, but for other women, that’s kind of a crappy situation that they put you in,' said Cagnacci, a 29-year-old Kingsport mom who relies on #Medicaid and a federally funded nutrition program. 'You have to have your child. But where’s the assistance afterward?'

"Tennessee has a porous safety net for mothers and young children, recent research and an analysis by The Associated Press found. It’s unknown how many women in the state have given birth because they didn’t have access to abortion, but it is clear that from the time a Tennessee woman gets pregnant, she faces greater obstacles to a #HealthyPregnancy, a #HealthyChild and a financially stable family than the average

"Like other states with strict abortion bans, Tennesseans of childbearing age are more likely to live in maternal care deserts and face overall doctor shortages. Women, infants and children are less likely to be enrolled in a government nutrition program known as #WIC. And Tennessee is one of only 10 states that hasn’t expanded Medicaid to a greater share of low-income families."

"Manatt surveyed hundreds of ob-gyns in #Texas to examine the impact of #abortionbans. Seventy-six per cent of respondents said that they could no longer treat patients in accordance with evidence-based medicine. Twenty-one per cent said that they were either considering leaving the state or already planning to do so; thirteen per cent had decided to retire early."

i need y'all to understand #AbortionBans, blessed by the Republican-controlled #SCOTUS are de facto declarations of secession.

USA is now controlled from #SCOTUS by a new #Confederacy. when i use #Neoconfederate to describe the southern fascist states, am doing it because, just as with the first confederacy, this second one used the courts and shady state legislation to defend their slaveocracy.

remember that the Confederacy made more money breeding slaves than selling cash crops.

#Abortion rights groups & #medical experts called the #Idaho decision a preliminary victory that did not settle the broader question of whether a federal emergency-care #law preempts strict state #AbortionBans.

In both Idaho & #Texas, the #Biden admin asserted that federal law #EMTALA mandates emergency abortion care when it is the only treatment that can save a pregnant woman’s life or prevent serious harm to her health, including…organ failure or loss of fertility.

Well, I am canceling my #DetroitNews subscription today after they endorsed #Republican #MikeRogers for #Senate instead of #Democrat #ElissaSlotkin.

Rogers has consistently voted for #AbortionBans & co-sponsored 4 bills that could restrict or effectively ban #IVF.

He believes in #FetalPersonhood laws & supports a #NationalAbortionBan which a Republican majority in the Senate could enact.

Michigan Democratic Party · WHAT TO KNOW: Mike Rogers “Consistently Voted” for Abortion Bans, Co-Sponsored Four Bills that “Could Restrict or Effectively Ban IVF” - Michigan Democratic PartyLANSING — Mike Rogers can’t run away from his extensive anti-choice record. In Congress, Rogers “consistently voted” for abortion bans, and he co-sponsored four bills that “could restrict or effectively ban IVF.”  Rogers refuses to discuss “how the fetal personhood bills he sponsored in Congress squared” with his so-called support for IVF. Rogers is in a “sticky wicket” […]
