Pregnancy is actually quite dangerous. Why the hell would anybody deliberately get pregnant? Doesn't make any sense.

This is so inhumane! Why do lawmakers fight for a fetus and not for the child afterwards?

Baby Killer!!! Just another Selfish woman only thinking of herself. I hope you can never get pregnant ever again, you do not deserve to be a morher.
I have no sympathy for you, the one I feel sympathy for is the poor baby, who had the misfortune to have you as its mother. Because you discarded her like she was nothing but garbage. 😡
RIP baby girl. ❤️🙂

We need more of these women to step forward, and Show the legislators the Human cost of not having proper care.
– This is so much harder than people understand. To lose a baby that is desperately Wanted, wished for, that may have been their only chance to have a child, is 100 times worse.

Sad that Roe v Wade was struck down. It wasn't formed in a vacuum, it was based on decades worth of other cases that set precedents. And then a couple of right-wing judges entered SCOTUS and said, "Nope, none of that matters." Like we didn't see that one coming, from two Christian evangelical judges?
Roe v Wade said that abortion is private, and a matter between a woman and her doctor. That was the best ruling because no two cases are the same. It's absurd that anti-abortion is even happening in the 2020s. The U.S. needs to deal with its evangelicals badly.

Placenta Previa doesn't have to life threatening. She could have had a C section. It seems to me that the doctors rushed her into wanting an abortion. Abortion is clearly traumatic to women yet the left wants women to be free to do this not knowing the full consequences.

I have no problem with people practicing their religion, but what I have a problem with is laws built around religion that impede on people’s rights. As someone from an African country that is backward when it comes to reproductive health and rights, I always thought America was progressive in that department until I recently educated myself about what women go through in that country.

The people behind the right-to-life movement are the religious nut jobs who like to force their beliefs down other people's throats. Like George Carlin said, "If you're pre-born you're fine. But if you're pre-school you're f&$@!"

NO ABC NEWS SHE COULD HAVE GOT AN ABORTION IN WISCONSIN IF OTHER DOCTORS HAD AGREED WITH HER DOCTOR. FLEE WI? ALL SHE HAD TO DO WAS DRIVE 1 HOUR WEST INTO MN.

I am so sorry for this couple's loss and grief and fear. It's heartbreaking for all of these women and i am so FURIOUS that small minded men think they have the right to do this to women. A big middle finger to sam alito!
