In the majority of cases you don’t even have anomaly screening until 20 weeks so it’s utterly ridiculous.
Yes what is going on over there is absolutely horrifying but it seems to be a wholly political move to get the Supreme Court to overrule Roe vs. Wade (the very important court ruling making this kinda shit illegal) however let’s look a little closer to home shall we??....
Women in the North despite being part of the UK still can NOT access abortion services. Health care providers are not even able to give out information on how to access abortion services in another country. Women who aren’t able to travel have been prosecuted for abortions just across the border here!!!!
It doesn’t stop there though - a very close friend of mine (a Doctor herself) had an unviable pregnancy that was picked up at the 20 week scan. At the worst time in her life when she needed to be at home surrounded by her family with support, she found herself having to fly to England to get an abortion.
Horrific.
So maybe we should all be doing something and helping women here first before worrying about the US.
