If that were true, then the mother wouldn’t be kept on life support. Contrary to popular opinion, abortion is not the simple removal of a fetus, it’s killing the fetus. If the fetus is dead, it can be removed or delivered without an abortion. The articles written on this subject don’t include those level of detail. But. Suffice it to say, any doctor worth his salt could tell the difference.
This narrative that abortion bans have all the doctors scared and it ties their hands from doing anything involving a pregnant mother is false. But, that doesn’t make for a meme that gets internet points.
It does tie their hands though. They can't practice modern medicine because the abortion laws aren't written by educated medical professionals. It also puts their license, job, and entire life in jeopardy if after review they are found to have violated it. These laws are trying to make gray areas like this black and white. This mother died. Unfortunately that means the fetus does as well in the real world. Just because we can keep the mother on life support doesn't mean we should. This fetus has a low chance of survival. She was 9 weeks pregnant. Abortion is any removal of a fetus regardless of living or dead. An ectopic pregnancy where the fetus will never live will be treated with an abortion. Otherwise the fallopian tube ruptured and the woman dies of internal bleeding painfully.
Tell that to the women who have been left without proper care and the doctors that have fled the christian-nationalist states passing these laws. Get your right-wing nonsense out of here.
I mis-read the title, ignore my previous comment.
It isn't.
