Live Updates: Supreme Court to Consider Access to Em...so frustrating to live in a time where lawyers are arguing that women shouldn't have the right to medical care they need to live, like that should be an option, not a right.
"The Idaho lawyer argues that if the court upholds the requirement to provide abortions needed in a medical emergency, women could get abortions because they arrive in emergency rooms claiming that pregnancy is causing them severe mental distress." Only men with guns get to have mental health care crisises, mmm kay?
"Justice Sotomayor asks Idaho’s lawyer if it’s true that the state’s ban would prevent abortion in a situation where a woman would otherwise lose an organ or have serious medical complications. Idaho’s lawyer admits it would prevent abortion in those circumstances. “Yes, Idaho law does say that abortions in that case aren’t allowed,” he said."
Apparently he also said he didn't know of any situations where a woman's organs could be at risk and not be deadly. A uterus? Fallopian tubes? Ovaries? I wonder if anyone asked him where he got his medical degree.
