A reminder that the overturning of Roe v Wade will -never- become old news as long as it is not undone, and guys who think it will go out of women's minds are doing so only because their lack of uteruses enable -them- to pretend it's no longer a current event.
It will actually get much worse for Republicans for two reasons.
1) It takes roughly two years for state medical boards to review deaths to determine if they could have been avoided. For instance, the ProPublica account of the two women in Georgia who are known to have died due to Roe being overturned died a few months after the Dobbs decision. There will be many more deaths that come to light in the years to come.
2) Scientific and medical improvements will make abortion even more useful to women with health problems or who have fetuses who are not viable.
As an example, my wife had and abortion in 2016 due to the fetus having Edwards Syndrome; the test which showed that fetal non-viability only became available in 2011. There are many states now where my wife would be forced to go through another 7 months of pregnancy and bodily change only to have a late term miscarriage or stillbirth (the most likely result if she did not get that abortion).
Another example is mifepristone, which only became available in the U.S. in 2000 (and 2017 in Canada).
There will be other advances in abortion medicine making the GOP's position even more untenable.
It was not a loss. Thankfully my wife was able to get a legal abortion and we have a daughter who is now alive because of that. Without that legal abortion, we would never have tried to have another child again.
On the off chance this was intended to show sympathy rather than to troll, please delete it. It's clearly unwelcome. If it stays up, we know what you're about for sure now.
Some people do experience a miscarriage or otherwise a loss of a wanted fetus as a loss. You wanted the fetus until it was discovered to be unviable. However, I thought "sorry for your loss" was odd in this context, too.
Thanks for the heads up on information regarding medical science as it relates to abortion.
It really boils down to how politically any viable political party can be as it relates to empowering women to be able to make their own choices. Since it's obvious the GOP is being hypocritical here regarding its intention of getting the government out of people's lives as much as possible, exposing its hypocrisy is a winner for Democratic Candidates.

Sorry for your loss

You continue to act like a troll, which is not needed here. Please stop while you are ahead.

It was an attempt at showing empathy. How do I delete a comment?

Please do not tell me how I should feel.
Also, this person has acted like a troll before, especially in their comments regarding the pandemic. Quite frankly, I don't need their comments.
I don't understand your reaction to my remark.
