Kaitlyn Joshua shares how she was turned away from care in Louisiana in 2022 while she was having a miscarriage because of the Dobbs decision to turn over Roe v. Wade. #CNN #News
WTH? You're having a miscarriage, go to the ER and they tell you to go home and PRAY. 🤬 Louisiana is bad enough without dealing with this. I'd be packing up and getting the hell out.
@@stacymagnusson5683as dire as this is, it'll be one hell of a fight to take something like this national. But it's important to have a contingency plan. A trip to NYC to visit a jump to Canada maybe. Before Roe people found a way to get one. The neighborhood Dr. gave my mother an abortion around 1960.
@@paulacoyle5685 embryos are not children. Children exist *OUTSIDE* the womb. If *you* don't want to take the drug... then don't. Stop trying to enslave others as breeding stock.
That is so dangerous! What people don't understand is when some women miscarry, some of them need to have a D&C to clean out that necrossed baby if they don't pass the baby out! Then others need to be treated to fully end it! While others who are having trouble carrying the child have to use those drugs early on to end the pregnancy. Men have zero rights to legislate these, because you can't have any babies, to tell women what to do!!!!!
Amen. I was one of those women. I've tried to have babies. I have 1 out of 7 pregnancies. The last one I ended up needing the d and c in Alabama. I woke up from surgery screaming wanting my baby. The other women were praying for me who I woke up out of surgery crying over my baby. It was traumatizing. I had to make that decision to remove my dead baby while holding my 12 month old.
Republicans have gone nuts. They’re going to outlaw birth control next. Someone in my church actually asked what we were going to do about all the people who believe in other religions.
What else could we call it? A bypass surgery is healthcare. This is health kill. It is killing one of us - not a cabbage, or a sausage, but the most innocent one of us that it possible.
I agree with the sentiment, although technically a miscarriage is also an abortion. Medically that's what it's called and I fear that miscarriages will get people in trouble because our government officials don't understand that.
Soon President Trump will be back in office, and we’ll be able to afford groceries, gas up, pay rent, and still have a little something in the bank again. Yippee!
I live in Lafayette! The second worst at everything! Then they select one who has maintained the status quo! This is also a state run by legislators that ALWAYS vote AGAINST Helping CHILDREN AND THEIR SINGLE MOTHERS! Unacceptable! When will we stand up? This is an insult to human beings and a SLAP IN THE FACE OF GOD!!! WE THE COMPLACENT PEOPLE AND WOMEN!!!!
I should sue to remove my last name from every state that's created a theocratic, autocratic, or authoritarian extreme in state laws!. They completely dishonor my heritage that saved this nation from British monarchy! It's sad that UK has become more democratic than my own country!!!. Everyone credited George Washington. George Washington owed his life to my family!!!!. Was truly Franklin and marquis Lafayette who liberated America!!!. And the south was made to keep their slaves hidden from Lafayette who would have choped a man's hand off for whipping a slave! All human and civil rights root back to Franklin and Lafayette!!!!. Freedom camps. All the African Americans who have our last name. Was paid by Lafayette. Lafayette made them free men of arms which won against the British. Like Ukraine against big bully Russia!!!. Only Lafayette truly believed that that war could be won! The Bible belt is the slave owner families who wanted to remain British monarchy cause of slave rights!. Germany has evolved. Britain has evolved. Africa is evolving beyond that sickness. Australia is evolving. Why is my nation slowing devolving into this bs!!!!. ((If the liberties of the American people ever fall, they will fall at the hands of clergy))). Marquis de La Fayette!. Proof America was never (Christian nationalism)!. That was the Spanish. Henry the 8th/Joseph Smith treason! I'm sick of it.
The US as a whole is fourth world country. The citizens are just fed with the line greatest nation on Earth but that was never true. This whole situation is about money. The women are breeding stock for the government. They want to increase birth rate to have more people in working class. It’s simple as that. They even admitted it out loud when they called little girls ripe on television. I wouldn’t live in the US if they paid me.
but they’re pro-life right ? such bs!!! obviously women don’t matter, we don’t deserve healthcare, education or voting rights. we are worthless unless we’re giving birth … doesn’t matter if we are cared for in the process 😤🤬😤🤬
Omg! Weeks! Bleeding out. She could die, get an infection, and be permanently unable to get pregnant due to a miscarriage that was not properly managed!
it was properly managed. she wanted them to improperly manage it. if a women calls PP who gave them meds cuz she's bleeding during an abortion, she gets told to suck it up.
Trump// Pompoe released 5,000 Taliban fighters. & the leader. Trump signed a withdrawal agreement with Taliban in Qatar. Excluding the Afghanistan government from the Negotiations. Then Trump turned his focus on stealing an Election. Then an insurrection
I am more concerned that providers are refusing to see patients in the first trimester. Lack of prenatal care can set children up for a poor beginning in life
We'll start hearing about it soon enough. I was young BEFORE Rowe vs. Wade. I worked in the medical field. Soon, back-alley abortions will be back, metal clothes hanger self-abortions will be back. Young pregnant suicide victims will be back. Birth control being illegal will multiply this. Higher deaths from pregnancy related issues will return. We are already low down the list on countries for that. All this because of backwards religious people wanting every single American to abide by their religious doctrine. These are evil, vindictive, judgmental people who wouldn't know their Christ if they met him face to face. Hell, they think Trump is Jesus.
takes a weak woman not to go through a natural miscarriage. it was uneventful....normal. women have been doing it for thousands of years, even today without medical intervention.
Many years ago, I ended up with an ectopic pregnancy and it took the doctors almost 2 weeks to figure out what was happening to me and I ended up having emergency surgery because I was bleeding internally and was in the worst pain I have ever experienced. My fallopian tube had ruptured. I can't imagine that happening to me today. I would have died if I hadn't had that surgery. We must overturn these draconian laws and assure women get the medical treatments they need.
@9liveslisa Abortion laws are for elective abortions and have nothing to do with medical emergencies. Democrats are lying to scare voters. I have yet to find a medical malpractice lawsuit against a real attending physician, by any of these women claiming to have been denied necessary medical care.
@9liveslisa, the same thing happened to me. I went to the ED and after an examination I was told that I was ovulating. A week later I had to have emergency surgery after going into shock shock, and this was in th the 70's . Go figure.
When a fallopian tube ruptures due to an ectopic pregnancy, the woman can totally bleed out within 20 minutes if she can't get into an operating room in time. These draconian laws put women at risk, but the self-righteous lawmakers don't care. The wealthy can always procure an abortion for their pregnant mistresses.
Thank you for doing your Patriot duty this election, since your vote matters more than mine as I live in a solid blue state. You're helping citizens in all 50 states preserve bodily autonomy and humane healthcare. That is a BFD.
This is a Rx medicine and people should have an Rx for it, what if a man spiked a woman's drink because he didn't want it? This is how they get you to vote blue, no matter who. Running on your emotions where you can't think clearly
By best estimates 25% of pregnancies end in miscarriage - and the percentage could be higher because a pregnancy may be miscarried before it is apparent that the woman is pregnant - it could appear as a late or heavy period. These are not rare occurrences. When will lawmakers realize the unintended consequences of their actions are denying women the care they require?
Just remember that women voted for these "lawmakers." They didn't get into office by osmosis. How long will the American Medical Association stand silent, essentially letting politicians practice medicine without a license.
You do know that it was Adam and not Eve who was actually tempted to eat the fruit from the forbidden tree in the Garden of Eden right???? He gave into that temptation.
This has all helped me see how sadistic the Supreme court is and how utterly stupid many elected officials are . We must remedy this . Vote . While you still can , women of America .
I am so proud that we voted by national referendum by 70% for abortion here in 2018 which repealed the 1983 law which only allowed such a procedure if the mother's life was seriously compromised. That poor woman's experience is horrific. Your laws are dystopian. God help America 🇺🇸 from Ireland 🇮🇪
Just spent nearly a month in Ireland this past December, traveling from Dublin South, stopping in Wicklow, then on to Cork, Killarney, Dingle, Limerick, Tralee/Listowel, Galway and Connemara. We loved the country. But the most striking difference was that Ireland was a predominately Catholic country and we never heard one peep about religion or the Church while there, and men were polite, gracious and respectful towards me (woman). Yet here in this sh*tshow of nation, the religious beliefs most on the rise are agnosticism/atheism, and yet I hear so much BS about other people's religion being shoved down my throat (I live in CA on of the lesser religious states) on the regular, and sexism, patriarchy, chauvinism and misogyny are off the charts in every single area of society. I get grief for being a woman at least once a week here from random strangers. You guys are a way better nation of people than the US for all its supposed "exceptionalism."
There only three judges on the Supreme Court who voted against getting rid of Roe vs Wade, of course they're Democrats and women, so they keep going against the six judges that drump appointed to the Supreme court.
They claim that they want to ban abortion for religious reasons, but their own holy book says nothing about abortion. It says over and over that nobody who puts the law before compassion will be allowed in God's kingdom.
Actually their own holy book has instructions on how to perform a weird “magic” ritual to produce an abortion in cases where the husband is “possessed by the spirit of jealousy”. It is actually ridiculously funny if you don’t think about all the women who must have been subjected to it over the ages.
@@littledickydolittle3071You do realize that health care isn't supposed to be a business. Originally hospitals where run largely by religious institutions (hence the association with religious symbols like the red cross). These were not run for profit and were funded through public donations. In most first world countries, the infrastructure switched from religious non profit charities funded by their communities donations, into government run facilities funded by taxes. American health care has transitioned into business models for profit hospitals. Health care being for profit is why pharmaceutical companies can take something that cost them $3 to make and sell it for $900 in America. Hospitals being for profit means they cut corners while cash gouging their patients. A hospital should never operate like a business. A business can refuse anyone for any reason. If a business kicks out an old woman for cursing them out, their acting within their rights, if a hospitals kicks out a dementia patient to the curb for having a aggressive outburst it's medical malpractice.
100% agree. Religious belief in the U.S. has primed many people to believe crazy things without evidence and paved the way for trump's lies and con job.
The Supreme Court ruled that Colorado could not remove Trump from the ballot because it would be too confusing with different states having different rules about voting. It was a ridiculous rule but ok.... then why did they not overturn their ruling on Roe vs Wade and restore it for the very same reason? The difference is power and control and where THEY think it should lie.
The Supreme Court is compromised, it's corrupt. They are pushing their conservative agenda regardless of law or precedent. The majority of us that are aware of it are paralyzed to do anything about it.
Sent home from the hospital with prayers. 😮So that’s the state of healthcare in what endlessly bills itself as the greatest country in the world? Obviously the women of Louisiana are OK with this because they keep voting these clueless clowns into office.
I am just wondering if the Republican Party thinks their diabolical laws ONLY affect the Democrates. News flash! Republican women do get pregnant too and their conservative views does not protect them from having a miscarriage as I am sure any survey will show.
They are claiming Christianity falsely. The Bible doesn't say this. Jesus did not say this. Neither Judaism nor Islam ban abortions like this. Jesus commanded compassion and mercy; not one single republican demonstrates an ounce of either.
It could lead to DIC: DISSEMINATED INTRAMUSCULAR COAGULATION, a severe condition that keeps the blood from clotting. This condition will keep occurring until the fetal tissues are passed. Still, medical intervention is mandatory.
With one exception. The women here are free to make their own decisions about marrying, having children, voting. So many of them give up these rights and follow along like good sheep.
to me as a European this is just unconceivable. I just can't understand how the US got this far off tracks. But, coming elections would be a good start for the American people to show what really matters. Specifically for all the woman living in the US. I'd be surprised if any woman out there in the US would vote for the Republicans, responsible for these laws. If all the woman would vote blue that would definitely send a clear signal to reps and they might reconsider their take on it, as all they care about being in favor of big voting groups. Woman are a big voting group.
Women do vote Republican over here, and it's because they've been brainwashed their entire lives. I'm an Independent. I do vote Democrat for most issues. This isn't about women's reproductive rights or reproductive freedoms. The party of pro-life isn't pro-life at all. It's the party of pro-birth. It's also about controlling women's bodies and only seeing them as an incubator. The line between being free to carry and forced to carry is becoming mire and mire blurred every day.
let’s hope we can get enough people to vote democrat this election 🙏 so many people don’t realize how crucial this election is & it’s terrifying! we need a democratic house as well which means we have to flip quite a few states 🙏🙏🙏
Because the laws are barbaric. It’s the Age of Ignorance. Initiated by Social Media and fanned by Misinformation Perpetrators like the Fraudster-in-Chief.
Whoa! 12 weeks waiting period should be malpractice! Nutrition counseling, ultrasound and blood pressure monitoring and a host of other checks should be done long before!!! It could make the difference between a healthy baby or not !! Egads
Yes, to not just restore Roe but to remind, restore or even demand more from healthcare nationwide. These actions or lack of action are egregious. We need more human beings to step up and provide the care that is needed. Must these victims sue the hospitals that refuse care only to be reminded that everyone deserves to walk through the doors and receive the care and immediate attention they may need at the moment ? Come on ! We must do better people.
"Lynching is the aftermath of slavery." ~ Mary Church Terrell (1863-1954), American activist and educator. Thank you for sharing your story your bravery will help thousands of women who have no voice. Bless you! It's really hard to speak out about your personal healthcare challenges in such a public forum. Good work! ⚡️
That's crazy. Alabama has ridiculous laws. The pple don't get it that this is just to abort during times of danger to lives. I will never live near these red states who did this. They should go to prison for the ones who die. Not the women.
They need to he charged with practicing medicine without a license. These politicians think theyre doctors. Theyre not doctors. They dint have a medical degree or a license to practice medicine.
The US's inability to differentiate between Spontaneous abortions, Elective abortions and Abortions in cases of incest or rape is a real shame. The Spontaneous abortions are a strictly medical issue! Abortions in cases of incest or rape are a justice issue concerning the prospect of having a person endure the debilitating secondary injury of having to carry a pregnancy unjustly forced upon them. Elective abortions are the only things that would require some sort of debate. Conflating all these issues under the umbrella of "Abortion" is the mess. The personhood of the foetus does not trump the mother's health
No, elective abortions don’t require debate. If people aren’t directly involved with the individuals in question, they don’t get to weigh in. If you’re not promoting Temporary Vasectomies and Make Oral Contraceptives, then you’re part of any problem you perceive. Address that first before weighing in on someone’s personal decisions.
@@Ketowski Temporary vasectomies is up there with temporary tubal ligations. This is society so personal decisions always comes with caveats including those affecting a foetus. There is no arbitrary line (2 weeks, 6 weeks, 16, 20, 28, 40 weeks) that gives a human foetus's life meaning, so it is something definitely worth debate if you're going to engage in an elective abortion at the detriment of another life.
give them time, if they get the power they will be worse than any religious fanatical you have heard of so far. It's easy to see the lust for power going on with that sect in GOP.
Cytotec in the wrong hands can kill the woman who chooses to use it. Many drug dealers will take advantage of vulnerable women, just like those who did back alley abortions. This situation with this victim is nothing but medical incompetence. She was actively bleeding and in need of medical care. She was married, but marital status should have nothing to do with receiving care.
So, they want her to die, too. What sorry excuses for human beings, let alone health care professionals. The politicians need to be voted out, and these people need to lose their licenses. They could have coded this so many ways to help this woman.
Is this what Louisianans really want, no prenantal care for the first trimester? I just don’t get who benefits from that? How is that healthy for the mother or the pregnancy? Idaho has five OB/GYN’s left in the entire state due, in part, to these bans.
My dog got better care with her kidney stones. I was told to go home and eat better. But we paid 4 grand for my pup 🐶 to get surgery that removed her stones. And she still has her gallbladder. And doing wonderful. Why do human doctors WANT MINE. I’m confused. 😮
I'm in Alabama. I'm a mother to one child out of 7 pregnancies. I could go get my urn of my daughter. Nobody understands until you've been there. If i woke you up out of surgery screaming on September 4 2019 I'm sorry. I wanted my baby.
Healthcare is not optional, if charges apply that is separate from healthcare. The American people need to get that through there thick skulls. Everything can’t be unified.
Those legislators better prepare for the honeypot of tax$ that pay their salaries is going to plummet as anyone above poverty level is going to leave the state, taking their $ with them!
This is disgraceful, and in other states the Republican Party is passing laws were women who are in a bad marriage or an abusive relationship or marriage you can’t leave their husband and you can’t get a divorce either
Not to mention, not necessarily everything comes out in a miscarriage and medical care is needed regardless. It is horrible and disgusting that our country is making women go through this! Politicians need to stay out of womens' healthcare. Women and their families need to sue their governments for their suffering.
And the Right is the party of "Family sanctity," But not women's health, women's happiness, women's desire to be mother or to be responsible for her existing children. No....not THAT part of "family."
@@FindMissingKids268 But it’s not yet banned, unlike what many states are wanting to do. Time to actually practice prevention beginning with withholding Viagra. Also promoting Temporary Vasectomies and Male Oral Contraception.
If you don't like stuff like this, you'll hate Project 2025. They're not even hiding their intentions. Mainly bcuz they're banking on most not looking at it. I did & creepy doesn't begin to describe it.
I think this couple should file charges against every facility that refused to see her before week 12, on the grounds that their refusal of prenatal care contributed to the natural abortion. See how they fight that. [And I still do not see how they can penalize miscarriages actually, since those have happened for centuries, as "acts of God", but in this case, the plaintiffs really could use the State's hypocrisy against it.]
Time to force these hypocrites to start promoting Temporary Vasectomies and Male Oral Contraception if they want a cause to support. Not interfering with Healthcare Fiordland Half the Population.
They are legal in most of the developed world and about half of the developing world. We are so bass ackwards it's not even funny. So much for "exceptionalism." It's a joke.
How can a state decide the rating of a drug? Isn't that the job of the FDA? A drug is the same no matter what state it's consumed in. I hope this is a law the Biden Admin does challenge!
Nope 19th century. In the 18th century, it wasn't considered a pregnancy until after quickening (14-18 weeks) - remember, there were no color changing sticks to pee on. Abortions were illegal AFTER quickening. Before that, it wasn't an abortion. It was clearing a blockage and reregulating a woman's courses.
