BUT - Earlier today M sent me a link to an article about a matter which could possibly affect anyone out there who is pregnant, trying to get pregnant, or might ever be pregnant. I realize that the source of the article may seem biased to some of you, but the information contained within about the bill itself is accurate.
Basically, a bill was passed by the house that {among other things} would allow doctors and/or hospitals to refuse emergency care for women even if their lives are endangered by their pregnancy. The hospital could also refuse to give a referral in this situation.
So, God forbid you have life threatening complications during your pregnancy, your hospital could tell you that they won't do anything about it. Meaning: you and your baby both could die, rather than terminate the pregnancy.
I would love to discuss this; what do you think about this bill?
