Commenter Points Out: Abortion Lobby Out to Create an American Savita

There's a comment to my post, "The Vultures are Circling," that I think hits a really hard point that I want to share:

Navi said: "The pro-life movement has grossly underestimated the utter depravity of its opposition. I think that’s a big part of why they lost so badly in Kansas. But I disagree about the mechanism. Rather than an illegal abortion, I think pro-abortion doctors are going to deliberately let a woman die of pregnancy complications and cry to the media that their hands were tied by the law or that it was too vague (despite life exceptions in every state law and ectopic pregnancies being excluded from the legal definition of abortion in many states). Already we have doctors and hospitals admitting to malpractice in states like Texas. The pro-life movement must call them out, help patients file lawsuits against those responsible, and get their licenses shredded. These are not good-faith critics, they are bad people that have graduated from killing babies to killing women."

I think that Navi really hit on something I missed: an entirely new way of getting a corpse. In fact, this observation is making me think that the death of Savita Halappanavar, which abortion enthusiasts leveraged into legalizing abortion in Ireland, might not have been garden-variety malpractice. It might well have been deliberate. After all, prior to legalization, Ireland had the lowest maternal mortality rate in Europe. Doctors knew full well how to care for pregnant women without deliberately killing their unborn babies. Why would this one doctor be clueless? Why didn't he prescribe antibiotics to his patient?

We seem to be seeing this happen already in the United States. Jezebel published "Non-Pregnant Women and Girls Are Being Denied Lifesaving Medications Due to Fear of Abortion Laws." Yup. We already have doctors in the US harming women and girls so they can blame it on abortion laws. Here are their examples:

A local news outlet in Arizona reported this weekend that 14-year-old girl in Tucson was denied a refill on her prescription for methotrexate, a drug she’d been taking for arthritis and osteoporosis, because a judge recently allowed a Civil War-era abortion ban in the state to take effect, and the drug in question is also used to induce abortions in cases of ectopic pregnancies.

Jezebel just reported last week that a woman in New York, who said her cluster headaches were so debilitating that she had contemplated suicide, was denied medication by her doctor because she is of childbearing age and the medication she needs poses risks to a hypothetical fetus. She recorded her conversation with the doctor, because she didn’t think people would believe her.

I sort of wonder, though, if the New York woman and her doctor totally staged the conversation.

Once again, we need to call them out on this. They're playing Russian roulette with women's lives because they need to maximize suffering and death for political game. It's absolutely despicable.
