If Dems were Republicans they'd be running on Republicans wanting rape panels.

Hey, girl. 
 

Tell them you were raped by a gay drug addict with a hammer. 
 

They'll believe that.

Indiana doctor sues AG to block him from obtaining patient abortion records

 

An Indiana abortion provider who came under attack by the state attorney general has filed a lawsuit to block him from subpoenaing her patients' medical records – including those of a 10-year-old rape victim she treated.

 

In the lawsuit, Dr. Caitlin Bernard and her medical partner claim that state Attorney General Todd Rokita has been issuing subpoenas to healthcare facilities for some of their patients' records, based on complaints from people who are not their patients and may live out of state. Rokita "took the additional step of issuing sweepingly broad document subpoenas to a hospital system ... for 'the entire medical file' of the patient discussed in the news stories," according to the suit filed Thursday in Marion County, Ind.

 

After Bernard spoke out publicly in July about providing an abortion to a young rape victim who was denied the procedure because of an abortion ban in her home state of Ohio, Rokita suggested on Fox News, without providing evidence, that Bernard had failed to follow state reporting laws.

 

Indiana health officials later released documents confirming Bernard had submitted the proper paperwork. Rokita nonetheless promised to launch an investigation.

So where are are the people who were crying about HIPAA during the pandemic?  Why aren't they concerned about medical privacy rights now?

These companies claim to support abortion rights. They are backing anti-abortion Republicans

 

The pharmaceutical company Eli Lilly was one of the most vocal opponents of a sweeping anti-abortion law that passed in its home state of Indiana, last August, saying that the measure would make it hard to attract talent and would force it to look outside the state for growth.

 

But in the weeks and months that followed, Lilly continued to financially support Republican candidates and politicians who support bans on abortion across the country, including many who celebrated the reversal of Roe v Wade.

 

It was not alone.

 

A Guardian analysis of other major US companies’ political donations shows that those who suggested they would help female employees skirt statewide abortion bans, by offering to pay for out-of-state medical costs for those seeking abortions in states where the option was illegal, continued to financially back candidates who have called for abortion bans. They include Meta, the company that owns Facebook, Comcast, Citigroup, AT&T and Amazon.

Ah yes, because the police aren't notorious for their huge backlog of untested rape kits rotting away in storage rooms or anything as it is.

Judge temporarily blocks Indiana abortion ban on religious freedom grounds

 

Indiana’s near-total abortion ban has been halted, again, in state court. This time, a Marion County judge ruled that the ban likely violates Indiana’s Religious Freedom Restoration Act, or RFRA.

 

A group of anonymous women and the organization Hoosier Jews For Choice sued the state in September, arguing the ban infringes on their religious beliefs.

 

Marion County Judge Heather Welch agreed. RFRA says that a law can't substantially burden a person's religious beliefs or practices unless it advances a compelling governmental interest and does so in the least restrictive way possible.

I'm just thankful that her parents were willing to help her *ahem* try to keep her life moving forward instead of forcing something she's not ready for (and if they had chosen otherwise, would more than likely be dealing with/paying for themselves).

Virginia Republican Files Bill Defining a Fertilized Egg as a Human

 

Virginia State Delegate Marie March (R) has pre-filed House Bill 1395, a law that would define life as beginning at fertilization.

 

“Life begins at conception and each person is accorded the same rights and protections guaranteed to all persons by the Constitution of the United States,” the proposed bill states.

 

The proposed bill would effectively outlaw all abortions in the state and even endanger the use of Plan B (aka. “The morning-after pill”), a medication that prevents fertilized egg cells from attaching to a woman’s uterine wall.

 

The bill could also effectively criminalize in vitro fertilization, a method of inducing pregnancy that uses fertilized eggs and discards any unused ones.

 

Even though Republicans control the state’s House of Delegates, it’s unclear if the bill would have any chance of passing the state’s Democratic-led Senate. The legislature won’t reconvene until January 11, 2023.

So are miscarriages then suicides?  These people would probably prosecute the woman as a murderer.

No it doesn't. Plan B prevents the ova from releasing an egg. 
 

The folks who want to ban it, have spent years repeating the claim that "it's never been proven that it doesn't prevent implantation".

Actually it's both:

 

Quote

Plan B works like other birth control pills to prevent pregnancy. Plan B acts primarily by stopping the release of an egg from the ovary (ovulation). It may prevent the union of sperm and egg (fertilization). If fertilization does occur, Plan B may prevent a fertilized egg from attaching to the womb (implantation)

Tennesseans misunderstand abortion law, want exceptions

 

Most registered voters in Tennessee want exceptions for rape or incest in the state's sweeping abortion ban, but they largely don't know the specifics of what's in the law as it stands today, according to new Vanderbilt University polling.

 

The disconnect comes in a state that votes consistently for Republicans and has one of the strictest abortion bans in the country. Three out of four people polled think that abortion should be legal if the pregnancy results from rape or incest, an exception that doesn't exist in current law. But fewer than 1 in 5 were able to pick which of the statements Vanderbilt provided that most closely described the current abortion law's requirements, according to Vanderbilt pollsters.
