how is an induction an abortion? it doesn't make sense the supreme court decision would prevent her doctor from performing an induction. am i missing something?

A lot of these procedures are termed abortions in medical literature.

This is why laws need to be precise in what they cover.

strange. thanks for the explanation.

i can’t see how a hormone to ‘induce’ labor is in the same category as a needle to the heart to ‘induce’ a heart attack and / or then delimbing a human. but i often find the current state of things v mind bending.

Any leading to the death of the fetus can be called an abortion.

Miscarriages are also called abortions, which is why some states are thinking about laws against women who miscarry for unknown reasons.

An induction and abortion are the same thing. Abortion pills just induce labor prematurely.

The difference here is she is at 26 weeks, almost her 3rd trimester. The baby is already large and developed; it has hair and will be sucking its thumb by this time. It will be big and need help being delivered.

After her abortion, especially at this very late point in the pregnancy, she will need a DNC procedure, to scrape the birthing material out of her body. This prevents infection and reduces risks to future pregnancies.

This is extremely late in her pregnancy and serious red flags are very very rarely found this late. This is also when about when so-called practice contractions begin, which might be confused for baby seizures. This is also when women really begin the onset of more serious mood swings and can become pretty nutty. Those with prior mental health issues or who develop them during pregnancy (think postpartum depression, but prenatal depression), begin really struggling here.

While you want to give people the benefit of the doubt and enjoy blind faith that these corporate news outlets did their due diligence of verification of this story...that is no longer the world we live in. We live in the world of people who fake births, medical conditions, and cancer for GoFundMe scams and don't have a single objective and accurate news source, only collisions of extremist corporate manipulation networks.

The story reeks of bullshit. First off, no shared official medical term for what the baby is effected by is a huge red flag. They just throw their hand up and say "WHELP, it ain't gonna live!"? Yeah that's bullshit, they have entire NICU wings full of equipment to help babies like this, I've seen them, and ran charities to help people afford these treatments through the March of Dimes. Furthermore, Inducing birth is not an abortion, and just a quick search proves such for her state. If the child dies after an induction, that is considered a death after birth.
