1/ If you care about the women in your life, abortion bans should alarm you. Tennessee already has a ban in place and there are people there who want to make sure that a woman is actively dying before they can have an abortion #NEleg propublica.org/article/tennes…
2/ Will Brewer with Right to Life said: pregnancy complications “work themselves out,” When faced with a patient’s high-risk condition, doctors should be required to “pause and wait this out and see how it goes.”
3/ Guess what: Will has no medical background. Doctors do not wait until an appendix bursts to remove it, they don’t wait for a tumor to metastasize before deciding to treat with chemotherapy. Prevention is the best medicine.
4/ An obstetrician who has a patient with early preeclampsia should not have to wait until she has a stroke or seizure to act. She shouldn’t have to wait until a patient with ruptured membranes is septic or hemorrhaging before acting.
5/ These bills are horrifying and are being created by people who do not understand medicine. This is about to happen in Nebraska and we need all hands on deck. I need everyone who reads this to please call your senator and let them know how you feel about #LB626. See below 👇🏼
