"SNIP......

“Missouri lawmakers are reviewing a Republican-backed bill that would ban abortions after 10 weeks, and make it a crime to terminate deadly ectopic pregnancies, punishable with many years in prison,” Insider reports.

Ectopic pregnancies occur when a fertilized egg implants and grows outside the uterus, most often in the fallopian tube, and can be life-threatening for the mother if left untreated. The fetus can’t survive to be carried to term.

but any woman who has a miscarriage will, no doubt, be investigated on suspicion of abortion.

It will cause women to avoid prenatal care and going to doctors when they miscarry, to avoid being sued or put in jail.

And change the law so they can get away with it everywhere.

They aren't content to just murder women they want women to suffer and then die. They want women to submit to men. Even men who rape abuse and murder them..

Notice this is pregant women they want to kill.

Is it any coincidence pregnant women are more likely to be killed by thier abusive boyfriends and husbands more than any other time in the "relationship"?

is found to have an ectopic pregnancy? I suppose if the embryo has already grown and busted the fallopian tube then they would be OK with surgery?

But what would they say for someone that was in my condition; knowing that I had an embryo growing in me that was not in the womb and that could be treated medically? I wonder if they even understand what an ectopic pregnancy is?

doubt they know what an ectopic pregnancy is. Women around these asshole men (it is a man) need to tell them in graphic detail what it is and what happens if not removed.

...if I lived in Missouri and this bill was law in the 80s.

Who the hell gave these crazy old white men the reigns of power? This is madness, plain and simple.
