When we do win back our right to bodily autonomy, forced birthers will forget these people. Some have absolutely no idea who these people are. But when you tell them you hope what they force on others gets forced on them, they gasp and say you're evil. Because they recognize that what they force on others is wrong, and they think they deserve better than their victims.

If you think the "abortion debate" is merely a difference of opinion, you haven't been paying attention.

agh, i didn’t realize empires were on spotify! i haven’t listened to them in aaaaaaages. 

i remember when @faerieishee called me from their show. and i still have that card, too! 

Forced birthers: No one will get hurt from abortion bans!

Milo was born with no kidneys and underdeveloped lungs. His mother, Deborah Dorbert, knew that while pregnant and wanted to spare him that pain. Had she been allowed an abortion, she could have. Instead she was denied an abortion, and he lived 99 minutes. During that time, he made sounds that his family thought were hiccups at first, but soon realized was him struggling to breathe. His entire life was filled with pain and terror.

You just wrote a diatribe defending this very situation. I won't call you cretin. That word is too kind to be accurate.

Life took a wrenching twist for Jessica Bernardo last fall. She went from being an elated, expectant mother — listening to audiobooks about pregnancy, teasing her husband about installing child safety gates on the stairs of their Frisco home — to using a private browser on her computer to search for an abortion. Bernardo desperately wanted the child she named Emma. About 15 weeks into the pregnancy, though, doctors said the child had severe medical conditions and would not survive to birth. As long as the pregnancy continued, Bernardo was at risk of developing her own complications. Fluid could build up in her heart and lungs. Her kidneys could fail. But Texas’ abortion laws blocked doctors from intervening just yet. Bernardo’s health would have to deteriorate first. “As I grieved,” she said through tears at a press conference, “I couldn't help but think of what I and so many others have gone through as inhumane torture.”

... The lead plaintiff is Amanda Zurawski, the Austin woman who spoke with me last fall about her devastating experience after her water broke at 18 weeks. Zurawski had to go home for a few days and wait for a life-threatening infection to develop before doctors, under Texas law, could end the pregnancy. ... Elizabeth Weller of Kingwood joined the lawsuit this week. In a case similar to Zurawski’s, Weller’s water broke at 19 weeks, but doctors couldn’t intervene until she developed an infection days later. “The darkest week of my life began as I left the hospital with amniotic fluid still leaking down my leg,” Weller told reporters this week. “With every passing day I felt the state's intentional cruelty. My baby would not survive, and my life didn't matter. There was nothing I could do about it.” Kiersten Hogan of the Dallas-Fort Worth area joined the lawsuit this week. Her water broke at 19 weeks. Doctors kept her in the hospital for days, hoping the fetus could hold on for a few more weeks. She said hospital staff told her she could face criminal charges if she left and her son didn’t survive. He was stillborn five days later “Texas law caused me to be detained against my will for five days and treated like a criminal, all during the most traumatic and heartbreaking experience I've had in my life to date,” Hogan told reporters. Taylor Edwards of Austin joined the lawsuit this week. About 17 weeks into her pregnancy, Edwards learned that the daughter she was carrying had a fatal condition in which part of the brain was protruding outside of the skull. Heartbroken, Edwards had to go to Colorado to end the pregnancy. Kylie Beaton of Fort Worth joined the lawsuit this week. About 20 weeks into her pregnancy, doctors diagnosed a brain condition in which the fetus’ head grows abnormally quickly. At the 28-week checkup, the baby’s head measured at the size of a 39-week fetus, the cutoff for vaginal delivery, but doctors refused to induce labor. After Beaton was rushed to the hospital at 35 weeks with abdominal pain, she had an emergency Cesarean with a larger-than-normal incision to accommodate the baby’s head. The child died four days after birth. Samantha Casiano of East Texas joined the lawsuit this week. About 20 weeks into her pregnancy, she learned the child she was carrying had a serious condition in which parts of the brain and skull would not develop at all. She wanted to put her daughter to rest then. Instead, she had to carry the pregnancy to term, then watch as Halo died four hours after birth. Lauren Van Vleet of Jarrell joined the lawsuit this week. About 22 weeks into her pregnancy, she learned her child had anencephaly, the same condition as Casiano’s child. Family members in Maryland helped her arrange to terminate the pregnancy there. Terrified of legal liability, Van Vleet avoided texting anyone about her plans. Dr. Austin Dennard of Dallas joined the lawsuit this week. Last summer, just 11 weeks into her pregnancy, she also received a diagnosis of anencephaly, a condition Dennard knew was not compatible with survival. She traveled out of state to end the pregnancy. Then in March, she saw one of her own patients, Lauren Miller, was among the first five plaintiffs to sue Texas over its abortion laws interfering with necessary care for pregnancy complications. Dennard decided to join and tell her story, too. These cases are not aberrations. They will keep happening as long as Texas law puts doctors in fear of prison time and massive fines for ending a pregnancy, even when it’s clear the pregnancy is no longer viable. How many names will Texas keep adding? When will enough be enough?

It's been only a day since a Texas court ruled that people with complicated pregnancies were exempted from abortion bans. The Texas Attorney General has already paused the ruling. Because he and other forced birthers want people to:

be forced to give birth to nonviable pregnancies, then hold their babies as they died hours later, like Texas forced Samantha Casiano and Kylie Beaton to do.

go into sepsis before being allowed an abortion even though the water broke far too early, like Amanda Zurawski (nee Eid) and Elizabeth Weller.

be held prisoner in the hospital, not receiving an abortion but also not allowed to leave after their water breaks far too early, then be forced to give birth to a stillborn baby, like Kierstan Hogan was.

be forced to leave the state for fetal reduction surgery when one fetus endangers the life of another and the mother, like Ashley Brandt and Lauren Miller had to do.

be forced to leave the state for an abortion of a nonviable pregnancy, like Austin Dennard, Taylor Edwards, Lauren Van Vleet, Lauren Hall, and Jessica Bernardo needed to do.

be forced to leave the state when their water breaks early, risking sepsis along the way, like Anna Zargarian.

Wanna hear something interesting? There's Been So Many People Harmed By Dobbs That a Detailed List of Their Cases Exceeds the Tumblr Text Block Limit. The Complete List Won't Save in One Post Anymore. So Here's Part 1:

Marlena Stell had an incomplete miscarriage. That’s when the fetus starts to miscarry but doesn’t exit the body. She was forced to wait 2 weeks with a dead fetus inside her before she got treatment.

Amanda Zurawski had premature dilation. The pregnancy was previability, and the fetus would not survive. But it still had a heartbeat, so she had to wait before getting an abortion. She went into septic shock.

Mylissa Farmer’s water broke early. Too early for the baby to survive. The hospital said it couldn’t treat her. She reached out to her senator…who referred her to an antiabortion crisis pregnancy. She reached out to her state attorney general…who simply never got back to her. She had to travel out of state for an abortion.

The 10-year-old from Ohio was fucking raped, and she had to go out of state for an abortion. “Prolifers” said she should have been forced to give birth.

The 16-year-old from Florida was sentenced to parenthood by a judge who thought her grades showed she was too irresponsible for an abortion…but clearly responsible enough to raise a child…with no job or parents to support her.

The 15-year-old from Florida was raped and had to leave the state for an abortion.

Nancy Davis was pregnant with a headless fetus. She had to travel out of state for an abortion.

Elizabeth Weller’s water broke early. Previability. But the fetus had a heartbeat, so Elizabeth had to wait for infection to set in before she got an abortion.

Anya Cook had her water break early. But she had to lose almost half her blood before getting treated.

Kelly Shannon had a fetus with multiple health defects. Even if it survived to 9 months, it likely wouldn’t survive labor. She had to travel out of state for an abortion.

Jessica Bernardo’s fetus would have either died before birth or lived a few hours or days after birth. Jessica became very ill…but not ill enough to qualify for an abortion. So she had to travel out of state for one.

Kierstan Hogan’s water broke early. 19 weeks. The doctors couldn’t perform an abortion. She was told that if she left the hospital to seek treatment in another state, it could be used as evidence against her in a court of law. She had to give birth to her stillborn son in a bathroom.

Taylor Edwards had to leave the state to get an abortion for a nonviable fetus that was risking her health.

Kylie Beaton’s fetus had a fatal brain condition, but she was denied an abortion.

Samantha Casiano had a fetus missing most of the brain and skull. She couldn’t afford to travel out of state, so she was forced to give birth. She vomitted while recounting this in court. Forced birthers said they should have made her wipe it up and compared her to a dog.

Lauren Van Vleet had to leave the state to get an abortion for a nonviable fetus that was risking her health.

Austin Dennard had a fetus with ancephaly. She had to travel out of state for an abortion.

Lauren Miller was pregnant with twins, but one twin had a condition that endangered her life and the life of the other twin. She had to leave the state to have fetal reduction surgery.

Jaci Statton had a molar pregnancy. That’s cancerous. She was told to wait in the parking lot until she was sick enough to get an abortion.

Kristina Cruickshank had blood-filled cysts. She had to wait 5 days to get an abortion for a nonviable pregnancy.

Tara George’s fetus would not survive outside the womb. Giving birth would risk Tara’s life. She was forced to travel out of state for an abortion.

Kailee DeSpain’s fetus would be stillborn or die shortly after birth. Continuing the pregnancy would endanger Kailee’s life. She had to travel out of state for an abortion.

Deborah Dorbert’s fetus was nonviable. They knew that if he was born, he would live a short, painful life. Deborah wanted an abortion to prevent his pain, but she was denied one. So she gave birth to Milo. He lived 99 minutes. As his parents watched him die, he made hiccupping sounds. They soon realized that was him struggling to breathe. May every forced birther hear that sound in their dreams.

Mayron Hollis had to get a fucking hysterectomy because doctors didn’t give her an abortion.

Gabriella Gonzalez had to travel out of state to abort her abusive boyfriend’s fetus. When she returned, he murdered her. Forced birthers commented on a video showing her mother and sister sobbing that fathers had rights too, that it was her fault for being with the man, that she should have just swallowed.

Kristen Anya’s water broke early. She had to go into sepsis before being treated.

Heather Maberry was forced to travel out of state to abort a headless fetus.

Melissa Novak was miscarrying. She should have been given both mifepristone and misoprostol. But she was only given misoprostol. You know because how much litigation is going on around mifepristone. She went into septic shock.

Kayla Smith had to leave the state to get an abortion for a nonviable fetus that was risking her health.

Lauren Christensen’s fetus had organ failure, which would likely lead to Lauren’a organs failing. She had to leave the state for an abortion.

Beth Long’s fetus’ organs were outside its body. But her insurance doesn’t cover abortions that aren’t to save the life of the mother. Good old Hyde amendment! So she had to find an out of state hospital that gave them a discounted rate. When her husband wrote to DeWine, the same DeWine that once thought ectopic pregnancies could be saved, DeWine took months to reply, and never bothered to learn Beth’s name.

Anabely Lopes had to leave the state to abort a fetus with a fatal birth defect.

Christina Zielke was miscarrying. Despite filling diapers with blood, she was sent home. She passed the fuck out and needed to call paramedics.

Kaitlyn Joshua was miscarrying. Her jeans were soaked with blood. But the fetus had a heart beat. No D&C for Kaitlyn, she had to miscarry at home.

Lauren Hall had to leave the state to get an abortion for a nonviable fetus that was risking her health.

Carmen Broesder had to experience a 19-day miscarriage because of delays in treatment. She documented it on tiktok.

Jill Hartle had to leave the state to get an abortion for a nonviable fetus.

Brittany Vidrine had to leave the state to abort a headless fetus.

The Jane Doe had an ectopic pregnancy rupture after an anti-abortion pregnancy center told her she had a normal pregnancy

Emily Doe, whose fetus had lungs that wouldn’t develop and had no kidneys. The pregnancy had the potential to endanger her health…but it wasn’t endangering it yet. So she had to flee Missouri for an abortion. .

Victoria Doe from Louisiana, who had to go to Oregon

Ashley Brandt was carrying twins, but one had no skull. Continuing the pregnancy would have been dangerous to her and the other twin. But she had to leave the state for fetal reduction surgery.

Anna Zargarian’s membranes ruptured prematurely. She was at risk of sepsis and hemorrhaging. But Texas didn’t give a fuck. So she had to leave the state for an abortion.

Reverend and Doctor Love Holt was pregnant with an unwanted pregnancy. She tried to self-manage her abortion due restrictions in her state, but she ended up hemorrhaging. She had to go to the emergency room.

Michelle Mitchenor needed to go out of state to abort a fetus with no kidneys.

Brooke and Billy High are teenagers. Brooke wanted an abortion, but laws prevented it. Now they have twins and are trapped in an unhappy marriage.

Ashley from Mississippi was raped and forced to give birth to her rapist’s child. She’s 13.
