yeah, keep the gov't out of our affairs.

oh, i can torture a woman who disagrees with my views? alrighty then.

 

[Rebel Leader]

Following criticism from medical providers, the state’s Health and Human Services Commission clarified that the requirement does not apply to miscarriages or abortions that take place at home. It also does not require birth or death certificates to be filed, to maintain confidentiality.

Woah woah what?

 

[Sullichin]

Can someone explain to me what's in it for the republicans that they would expend so much effort to put something like this into law.

 

[Atomic Playboy]

Why would Republicans want to give anyone more benefits? Those fetuses have bootstraps, don't they?

Those fetuses should've thought about that before they had mothers who couldn't afford them.

I'd put in a sarcasm tag, but since that is the exact point Republicans seem to be making with laws like this (which you know they will refuse to fund), I just don't know any more. Dumb fuckers.

 

[Jangowuzhere]

I am confident is reiterating what many are saying in this thread.

This is just fucking evil. Like, holy shit is this an awful thing to impose on women.

they hate women.

dont let anyone tell you otherwise.

 

[Kettch]

a process that can cost hospitals and abortion providers several thousands dollars in each case. But department spokeswoman Carrie Williams said the cost shouldn’t be a concern.

It's not a concern? So the department is paying for it then?

When does it come out that she has had at least one abortion and regrets it and so wants to make sure no one has the choice?

 

[RageWaffles]

Woah woah what?

yeah, the tried and true coathanger wire method (may cause minor side effects like permanent infertility or death). Exempting that lines up well with the notion that Republicans want to punish women for having sex (other than for procreation within a marriage).

So they can pretend they give a shit about being good Christians so they can keep hiding in the closet while fucking over their families, the LGBT community, the poor, women, people of colour, the environment, et cetera. Family values assholes are always the worst.

 

[Dryk]

Are cremation and incineration legally distinct? Because they're the same damn process under different names.

Texas won't stop until it has third world-rate maternal maternity rates

They are already on their way:

That or women can take some ulcer/cancer medication or some herbs like castor oil to abort. There are other ways, but the government wants the knowledge of the safe and sure way reduced.

The sad thing that it is minorities and people in poverty that are affected by this so those passing these laws don't care.

Single-issue voters.

Campaign contributions from religious organizations.

Soon they'll have women burying their menstruation.

 

[msdstc]

This is fucking weird... And scary. And sad.

 

[Hazmat]

This makes me sick. The things we do to women.

 

[Alchemy]

Republicans are shitty humans.

 

[EdibleKnife]

Soon they'll have women burying their menstruation.

If they could force women to apologize for being women in every interaction they have with a man, they would.

It just pisses me off knowing how many of these pro-life people in and out of politics are pure hypocrites

no, they do care. they want the poor and other minorities to suffer. make no mistake.

I work in a pathology lab for a large hospital system and we receive miscarriage specimens.

Anything over 20 weeks is done as an autopsy and a funeral home will pick up the remains and fulfill the wishes of the parents.

Anything under 20 weeks is a surgical specimen. All fetal specimens are set aside and collected in bulk, picked up by a funeral home and incinerated.

I would imagine it's pretty standard practice amongst hospitals already.

The post in the OP says they're normally disposed of in "sanitary landfills"...which, I'll be honest, kinda rubs me the wrong way.
