(71,132 posts)beg to differ...abortion rights are absolutely needed or women will die. I was miscarrying. I had two before in New York where I was given an immediate D&C and was fine...The righty Georgia doctor waited so long for blood work to 'prove' the 'baby' was gone that i hemorrhaged in my kitchen and nearly died. I had gone to his office that morning where here earnestly explained about his conscience blah blah...My neighbors hearing the screams of my young kids scooped me up and drove me to the hospital afraid to wait for an ambulance...upon arriving at the hospital my husband found me in a pool of blood by myself in a room without even an IV while they 'waited' for the all important blood work. Hubs fired the doctor and a young intern saved my life. I spent a just under a month in the hospital, was left infertile and in need of an aids test every six month for years because of the massive amounts of blood and platelets I received. It took me a year to recover from the ensuing depression and physical effects of blood loss...so don't tell me that social justice issues including pro-choice are not important and substantive. They are a matter of life and death for women. It might not fit on your bumper sticker though.
