Pregnant teen dies after abortion ban delays her chemo treatment for leukemia

The Force is With Me
The mother of a pregnant leukemia patient who died after her chemotherapy was delayed over anti- abortion laws is accusing doctors of not putting her daughter's health first.

The 16-year-old's plight attracted worldwide attention after she had to wait for chemotherapy because of an abortion ban in the Dominican Republic.

Doctors were hesitant to give her chemotherapy because such treatment could terminate the pregnancy -- a violation of the Dominican Constitution, which bans abortion. Some 20 days after she was admitted to the hospital, she finally started receiving treatment.

Seems the life of the born human was less important that the life of an unborn fetus .. that still died.

Easy come, easy go - so long as their 'law' prevails...

Disgusting.
 
They make a simular argument for not having an exemption for the life of the mother in late term abortions.

They say its very rare that the life of the mother would be an issue.
 
The entire nation based on the late term abortion bill passed by Congress and signed by President Bush.
 
Some background on this disgusting point of view and where it comes from...

The implication of his position is that if you were raped and became pregnant, you must have actually wanted it—it wasn't really rape.

This isn't the first time Akin has expressed fringe views about rape in the context of the abortion debate. Last year, Akin, vice-presidential candidate Paul Ryan (R-Wis.), and most of the House GOP co-sponsored a bill that would have narrowed the already-narrow exceptions to the laws banning federal funding for abortion—from all cases of rape to cases of "forcible rape."

Drugged, raped, and pregnant? Too bad, says the House GOP.

After I reported on the "forcible rape" language in January 2011, a wave of outcry from abortion-rights, progressive, and women's groups led the Republicans to remove it. But a few months later, in a congressional committee report, Republicans wrote that they believed the bill would continue to have the same effect despite the absence of the "forcible" language.

So why was the "forcible" language so important? Pro-life advocates believed they needed to include the word "forcible" in the law to pre-empt what National Right to Life Committee lobbyist Doug Johnson called a "brazen" effort by Planned Parenthood and other groups to obtain federal funding for abortions for any teenager by (falsely) claiming statutory rape. Abortion rights groups, Johnson warned, wanted to "federally fund the abortion of tens of thousands of healthy babies of healthy moms, based solely on the age of their mothers." Richard Doerflinger, the US Council of Catholic Bishops' top anti-abortion lobbyist, echoed Johnson in congressional testimony, arguing that the "forcible" language was "an effort on the part of the sponsors to prevent the opening of a very broad loophole for federally funded abortions for any teenager." Planned Parenthood flatly denied having a plan to open up such a loophole.

The idea that women who are "legitimate" rape victims can't get pregnant has currency in some corners of the fringe right. Akin embraces it. Does he embrace the conspiracy theory about the need for the "forcible rape" language, too?

Just so we're all clear on where the dog whistle is used...and why.

Won't be long before that's happening in the US, if the religious reich has their way...

did you lie about the rest too?....

well of course you did...

Virginia law....
The physician need not obtain the informed written consent of the woman when the abortion is
87 to be performed pursuant to a medical emergency. "Medical emergency" means any condition which, on
88 the basis of the physician's good faith clinical judgment, so complicates the medical condition of a
89 pregnant woman as to necessitate the immediate abortion of her pregnancy to avert her death or for
90 which a delay will create a serious risk of substantial and irreversible impairment of a major bodily
91 function.

Why was she actively engaging in sex at the tender age of 16 while diagnosed with a deadly disease?

I know you baby killing lovers will try to glom onto any story to further your murderous ways, but leukemia is a deadly disease and delaying chemo 20 days did not kill her. No where in the story does it say the girl tried to get an abortion. Hell her mama could have taken her to Tiller the Baby Killer

This is who they are, it's now crystal clear for anyone to see. The Emperor has no cloths and the Tpublicans are exposed in all their awful glory. Truly grotesque examples of humanity.
