Ohio’s 24 hour wait when you miscarry


Women who miscarry in Ohio will now be given propaganda intended to coerce women into giving birth, and face a 24-hour waiting period to think it over.

This is part of the same amendment that will require an ultrasound before birth control. In addition to redefining “pregnancy”, it also redefines “medical emergency”.

What to expect when you have pregnancy complications

Except in very narrow circumstances (see below), your OB-GYN will face criminal penalties if you aren’t subjected to the ICMS (Informed-Consent Mansplaining and Shaming) before he treats your miscarriage. The ICMS is generally bad enough; when you face a life-or-death decision, the ICMS is psychological torture.

If you are forced to terminate a wanted pregnancy due to a complication to your health or a fetal abnormality,

you will be informed the probable gestational age of the fetus and the medical risks associated with carrying to term
you will have to sign a form saying that you consent to the procedure “voluntarily, knowingly, intelligently, and without coercion by any person, and that [you are] not under the influence of any drug1 or alcohol”
you will be given a pamphlet that informs you of “the probable anatomical and physiological characteristics” of a healthy fetus at this stage of development.
you will be given another ultrasound (externally)

1. huh. I'm confused. By it's very definition a miscarriage is the termination of a pregnancy.

Pregnancy complications are not the same thing as a miscarriage. you can't treat a miscarriage as if it's the same thing. this is a very poorly written piece.

2. Miscarriages cannot be stopped.

They happen when the embryo has died, and the body is getting rid of it.

Period.

The embryo is NOT healthy or viable. It is dying.

3. A friend of mine...

had a tubal pregnancy.She was in so much pain.The hospital performed surgery and removed the fetus from her tube and they removed one of her tubes.Her husband felt that the fetus was alive and it wasn't. He felt she consented to an abortion.Causec a lot of problems in their marriage.

4. Her husband should consume feces and expire.

My wife suffered an ectopic pregnancy many years ago, and would probably have died without emergency surgery to remove the Fallopian tube which contained the fetus.

9. I wouldn't be here

if my father and mother thought that, because my mother would have died before I got a chance to be born.

5. Who is going to stop this shite?

This is madness. I hope these backward ReTHUG politicians end up in prison for murder because women are going to die.

I detest these people.

[frazzled]

6. Wha? 50% of all pregnancies end in miscarriage; 85% before 12 weeks

when the fetus is not even viable. A miscarriage is, by definition, the spontaneous loss of a fetus before 20 weeks.

There's something crazy about this article. Or Ohio has gone stark raving mad.

7. What?

The author needs to research what a miscarriage means.

[HappyMe]

8. What the hell?

A miscarriage is something that can't be stopped. It's the body eliminating the pregnancy.

10. Is this satire or something that is actual?

I'm at work on lunch, no access to that site, so I can't read the context.

11. Epic fail.

Don't these idiots even know what a miscarriage is? A miscarriage can't be controlled or stopped, and many happen so early in the pregnancy the woman doesn't even know she was ever pregnant to begin with. This is exactly why these yahoos should not be legislating women's bodies. To start with, it can't be done!!

[friendlyFRIEND]

12. strange... the law doesn't mention miscarriage. Fictional article.

In Ohio, the following restrictions on abortion were in effect as of May 1, 2013:

A woman must receive state-directed counseling that includes information designed to discourage her from having an abortion and then wait 24 hours before the procedure is provided. Counseling must be provided in person and must take place before the waiting period begins, thereby necessitating two separate trips to the facility.





you can be a strong advocate for a noble cause without lying about it...
