Summary

An Idaho doctor testified that confusion over the state’s strict abortion bans left a miscarrying patient “passed around like a hot potato” as doctors avoided treating her out of fear of legal consequences.

The 14-week pregnant woman, suffering heavy bleeding and anemia, was denied care during three ER visits before being admitted against hospital rules, miscarrying, and requiring a blood transfusion.

The testimony is part of a lawsuit challenging Idaho’s abortion laws, which ban most abortions with few exceptions, leaving patients in dangerous situations without timely care.

They should just exclude pregnancy, births and anything associated with it from health care.

Women should be screaming in agony and bleeding out in their beds at home, as god intended. Pain and death in childbirth is the price of Eve’s sin, and only the pure and righteous earn an easy pregnancy.

I am not kidding, I’ve heard this from evangelical extremists (who have now been voted into power).

and the big argument that a lot of first world countries debate is the lowering birth rates ... why in the hell would anyone want to have children in this environment?

These people don’t ask women for permission.

I believe you, that something like this was said, but in this age where the web is at our command, "some evangelical somewhere said that" seems needlessly vague and unconvincing.

I can’t remember their names, but one is a televangelist preacher and the other is a woman who’s claiming to be a prophet. They’re both fairly well known. They were in a recent compilation video of evangelical sermons.

Yes, but then where would they get good little soldiers for the meat grinder from?

There's always North Korea /s

Test tube babies probably ... because giving natural birth has become so politicized and affected by religious beliefs that fewer people will actually want to have children and countries will try to figure out alternative ways of creating expendable humans.
