We may well be talking about someone who received inadequate sexual/reproductive education. Typically the only sex-ed the pulpit provides is “pro-life” propaganda.

Then why did she know to seek abortion care? True ignorance would mean dying during a miscarriage because you don’t know what’s happening and not seeking medical care.

It’s likely her doctor told her she needed a DNC or something (without using the word “abortion”) and the patient didn’t realize the state laws would consider that an (gasp) “abortion” until the doctor told her so.

You can make excuses all you want. All “pro-lifers” can go fuck themselves.

Just because I think we should have legal and safe abortion access doesn’t mean we should root for people to die when it happens to them.

I’m perfectly fine with people facing the consequences for their beliefs.

If this experience didn’t change the patient’s mind about identifying as and voting “pro-life”, I might agree with you.

Where does it say her mind was changed, or is it implied?
