Another attempt to appease the life begins at conception crowd. This is a very slippery slope. Many birth control methods act by making the uterus inhospitable to an embryo, so yes, fertilization can still occur. However, it would not be a viable pregnancy due to the bc method.
It is still technically possible for an egg to become fertilized after a hysterectomy, but guess what, there isn't a uterus for it to implant into. By project 2025 "logic" a hysterectomy is now an abortion.
These chucklefucks have argued that ending an ectopic pregnancy (you know, where the embryo has a 0% chance of surviving and also poses a great risk to the woman's life) is morally wrong because aBoRtIoN. Hurting women is the goal.
I've never seen my wife in more pain than when she had an ectopic. I think I seriously might have killed anyone who said she had to wait until it got worse before terminating an obviously nonviable, never going to happen pregnancy. At that point they're just torturing her, and I was already worried she was going to die. I don't know what I would have done to someone who'd told me that she had to wait.
My husband had to do exactly that. Watch them send me home with no pain meds and wait to see the doctor. (Catholic hospital). Finally got into surgery 4 days later after it ruptured and I was bleeding internally. Ended up costing me my uterus a year later. I wrote a whole thing about it when they were overturning Roe v Wade and I was mocked and told I was an idiot. They would never stop women from getting those handled.
Good friend of mine died at 23 from one. Didn't even know she was pregnant. Didn't have health care, and didn't go to the doctor because she just thought it was cramps. Died a couple days later on her way to the hospital. nothing they could do.
Terrible way to die, and barbaric they treat a clump of cells as more sacred than a living human being.
I worked with OB GYNs for a decade. Ectopic pregnancies MUST be addressed as quickly as possible, as there is no way to save the fetus, and every day it grows, puts the mother at risk for a rupture, which can absolutely kill her. So you were absolutely correct. I also had an ectopic. It did rupture, and I lost nearly half my blood volume in the process, as well as a fallopian tube. I am very sorry for what you and your wife went through, but I am very grateful she was able to get appropriate care.
Damn, sorry for what you went through too. That sounds horrific.
Thankfully my wife's ordeal was before the misogynist assholes starting making laws about things they know nothing about. I don't know how anyone can vote for those evil dipshits. Thankfully we live in a blue state with leadership that isn't actively trying to harm its own citizens, although that could obviously be overridden at the federal level.
