Patients with rheumatoid arthritis, lupus, cancer, and other serious conditions can face barriers to essential medications because those drugs may also cause miscarriage or birth defects.

Some patients who cannot become pregnant have encountered prescription barriers, too.

And the consequences extend beyond medication. When physicians leave states with restrictive abortion laws, communities risk losing access to specialists, maternity care, and even routine medical appointments.

A law written to restrict abortion can reach into nearly every corner of medicine.

This isn’t just a conversation about abortion access. It’s about what happens when legal restrictions interfere with clinical judgment—and patients are left dealing with the consequences.

They claim to be pro life and rant about how abortion is murder and killing a human being.

But once the baby is born, they do not care. They don’t care about children, or women. They don’t care that a woman can die because of the pregnancy or childbirth.

The fact that they only care about human life before it is born is absurd to me. I never see these people advocating for single mothers, orphans, refugees of war etc. The only time they are “pro life” and care about anyone, is when it is a fetus.

How is it pro life that you want to put many women through an unwanted pregnancy? How is it pro life to force a baby to be born without a loving home, ending up in foster care and everyone knows how horrible the foster care is?

How is it pro life to have babies born for a mother who is in poverty or in active addiction? How is it pro life to make women give up their hobbies, career, mental health, hopes and dreams just because their birth control failed?

I can go on and on.
