[TheMutantCreeper]

I remember a story of a woman who died because of something wrong with her pregnancy. The doctors didn’t abort it and told her to wait when the baby dies. Both her and the baby died and the husband was the only one left. That story is why I support abortion as healthcare.

[ptitqui]

I looked this up. This wad a wanted pregnancy that didnt develop correctly. She was told the baby had no chance to survive, but because of the law she couldnt have it removed until it died on its own. Waiting until the baby died caused a massive infection that almost killed her.

[aliciachristopher]

They don't care about that woman or any woman.

[The_g_string_lover]

This is disturbing. This could’ve been your mom, wife, or sister almost dying.

[kathyclingerbutler]

This is much more common than people realize and women should have a right to choose what's right for their health, PERIOD! Why do men get to decide this? RIDICULOUS!

[lizzybennet]

They don’t care about women. They never have

[lorifiedler]

No laws should contradict medical treatments. Abortion is a medical treatment.

[cindiholtzman]

If senators can play doctor, then doctors should be able to play senator and rewrite these laws.

[ThePorcupine]

Last year there was one woman in Poland that died because of this. There were a massive protests about it, but nothing changed. It's awful what a stupid law can do...

[asheronwindspear]

The empty chairs speak volumes for their character.

[mumtobeans]

“Everyone” was so happy to ban abortions & now us women have to be afraid if something goes wrong during pregnancy we aren’t going to get the help we need 🙃

[hbmwqgy]

This poor woman has the worst senators in the country. Texas & Florida are two states worth leaving asap!😢

[amyjohoppins]

Since WHEN did politicians begin practicing medicine? Practicing Medicine Without A License is a punishable offense.

[gvc]

Get those monsters out of office. Vote blue this November.

[millennial_fairy]

Texas is so messed up and I feel awful for this woman

[duchessdiz]

I think anyone voting to ban abortions should be required to adopt an unwanted child in an orphanage.

[Daenysthedreamer]

Ridiculous when something is 100% MEDICALLY NECESSARY is not allowed! She absolutely deserves to sue and win. Absolutely barbaric.

[tc]

Do these people realize that one major consequence of this policy is that it will scare even women who want kids from risking being pregnant for fear of being subjected to things like this???

[leanneflories]

These are things that our government needs to stay out of, this is between Dr. and patient, not government, Dr, patient.

[leepope]

I won't forgive people who voted for Trump 🤷
