I would have bled out and died

As a very young woman

If not for an emergency D&C

Which is now illegal in a lot of States

They are fudging the numbers of the fatalities

I would have died at 17 and not have had the 4 beautiful children I eventually gave birth to. They don’t care that abortion saves lives.

4gabriel.bsky.social•3 days ago

I had to be given a shot to stop uterine bleeding after my first child- that’s not allowed now either.

wadebward.bsky.social•4 days ago

They ALWAYS fudge the numbers!

listenbannedbooks.bsky.social•4 days ago

Same for me. I've been so horrified to watch these women not receive the exact same healthcare I received less than a decade ago.

It’s the appendix to Project 2025.

They are NAZIs. The murder is on purpose.

My daughter,in a blue state thankfully, had to have a d&c a couple of years ago. She would have died without it.

wearethetruth.bsky.social•3 days ago

Yep

bonnieatl.bsky.social•3 days ago

I can empathize. I would have bled to death leaving two toddlers behind. I had placenta abruptia at 16 weeks. I was hospitalized twice and underwent several blood transfusions before my doctor told my husband that we needed to stop concentrating on saving the baby and try to save my life.

gazz1815.bsky.social•3 days ago

One is too many.

mimimm70.bsky.social•3 days ago

Same here. I was 26 and had 3 children under the age of 4 at home. Hemorrhaging after an incomplete miscarriage.

ckcnj.bsky.social•4 days ago

We need an underground railroad to help save women's lives blue states to red states.

lauralewa.bsky.social•3 days ago

An emergency D&C saved the life of my daughter-in-law when she and my son were young. She went on to have my three beautiful grandchildren and to be a gifted teacher who has impacted many lives. Women are NOT expendable.

kristanpaige.bsky.social•4 days ago

Same.

sgilley02.bsky.social•4 days ago

melaniemac73.bsky.social•3 days ago

As would I. 12 weeks pregnant, miscarrying, bleeding profusely, not passing the fetus. Thank god I lived in a world that cared about my health.

rainkitty.bsky.social•3 days ago

Same here, due to a burst ectopic.

elank.bsky.social•3 days ago

Same here. Only dialysis and a lot of blood donors made it possible for my child to have a mother.
Childbirth nearly killed me.
Or, rather, it sorta did but modern medicine brought me back.

revocsid682.bsky.social•4 days ago

I believe that!

midnorthcowboy.bsky.social•3 days ago

I'm so glad you had access to the medical care you needed. My fervent hope is that all women will have access to all of the care that they need and choose to access. I wish that we lived in a more sane world.

thinbrim.bsky.social•3 days ago

Same. I am very fortunate to be Canadian. The US started dying the day Roe v Wade was overturned.

erfaulkner.bsky.social•3 days ago

I had a similar traumatic experience almost 20 years ago. Thank goodness I received care and lived to have my 3 children.

immakatt.bsky.social•4 days ago

Yes! We know they are covering up the number of deaths their policies have caused. We are losing Doctors and nursed because of their policies.

If I were of child baring age now NO WAY in hell would I consider having kids….

matthew-ds9.bsky.social•3 days ago

Truly...

the stories of women bleeding out and getting septic in Texas hospital parking lots is anecdotal at best, and I'm absolutely positive that we are not hearing all the stories.

chicago21222.bsky.social•4 days ago

And deranged, morally deficient white ppl think this is a-ok. Let’s let our women have less rights than men. We don’t care if they bleed out and die. Who votes for this? 56.5% of white voters. Disgusting.

lunaluvgood2020.bsky.social•4 days ago

Facts

chicago21222.bsky.social•4 days ago

It hard to fathom how anyone voted for this.

chicago21222.bsky.social•4 days ago

You’re not the only one astounded by this level of cruel dipshitery

chicago21222.bsky.social•3 days ago

Insanity. And now there’s groups of so called Dems fighting other Dems. They want the gop too. F them.

They are definitely obscuring the actual reasons for women’s deaths. Our girl children are destined for Gilliad 😡😡😡

begtodiffer.bsky.social•4 days ago

In some states they’re not even allowed to report these statistics for the first two years. Texas for sure

grantlanning.bsky.social•4 days ago

Things won't change until enough Republican mothers, sisters, wives, and daughters have died senselessly. This shame will forever be the burden of the Republican party going forward.

millie29.bsky.social•4 days ago

No they won’t care. Women have already died.

What will change us when enough women of powerful ppl have died.

grantlanning.bsky.social•4 days ago

I disagree, it's when the misguided common people decide enough is enough. When the broken hearts can shed no more tears. When the losses have piled so high that the powerful cannot bury the bodies fast enough... Then we shall have change

nettie06.bsky.social•3 days ago

Don't live in Texas. The state is catering to gun carrying white supremist males. Women mean nothing here. Hate lives unchecked here

deadlinedemocracy.bsky.social•4 days ago

Killing our reproductive rights is killing us.

eheart.bsky.social•4 days ago

Yes they are. In Georgia it’s illegal apparently to report a death due to a denial in a D&C.

kestrel61.bsky.social•4 days ago

Report it to a journalist.

eheart.bsky.social•9 hours ago

I read it online from the NYT a few months ago.

kkaysinger2024.bsky.social•4 days ago

Agree - just like the COVID deaths

lowerkey.bsky.social•4 days ago

You mean how Florida had so few covid-19 deaths because they reported the person as dying from their underlying medical problem instead?

talsmum.bsky.social•4 days ago

My daughter’s father was one of them.

countnathrakh.bsky.social•4 days ago

And ceasing to keep records, so nobody can see the horror

middlemolly.bsky.social•3 days ago

😡Mad because it is difficult in so many states for women who need them to get D&C's. Did you post this in response to a specific article or event?

lexie1179.bsky.social•3 days ago

Of course they are…

bluefiremonkey.bsky.social•4 days ago

As would I. I’m lucky to be alive. Many other women will not be so lucky.

hayleyphoenix.bsky.social•4 days ago

I was 21. My daughter took out an entire wall on her way out and we didn't know until a week later. My daughter would be without a mother had I not gotten that procedure.

queenky2323.bsky.social•4 days ago

me to i was 32 and 4 babies I was hemorrhaging...luckily my 8 yr old daughter heard me and called a neighbor who rushed me to the hospital 2 in the morning my heart hurts to know what the young women are going through our politicians are cruel and trump is cruel...god what happened to us

jaxhuddles.bsky.social•4 days ago

That happened to me as a 50 year old woman after a miscarriage, living in Key West FL. I needed a blood transfusion as well. Would I be able to get a D&C now? Most likely not!

chuerta1.bsky.social•4 days ago

Same here. I had an issue in 1978 where I was bleeding ever day for weeks on end. I wasn't pregnant and it wasn't a miscarriage. If not for the emergency D&C I might not be here today.

82drill.bsky.social•4 days ago

That is very brave of you to share your experience .In doing so you give voice to the travesty of overturning women’s reproductive rights that now sadly must be endured. It is the voices that point out injustice that truly gives hope.☮️💙🦋

birdiewny.bsky.social•3 days ago

It is incomprehensible that in the year 2025 so much ignorance exists regarding women’s bodies, pregnancy and miscarriage. Sadly, even within the medical community.

weeirish.bsky.social•4 days ago

My best friend would've died in '97 from an ectopic pregnancy 🤨🤬 Absolute horse💩

rhonnie-72.bsky.social•4 days ago

i had a similar experience, bleeding--not from a pregnancy. Without a D & C I surely would have bled out. I was 61.

armymp22.bsky.social•3 days ago

I’m so sorry for your situation but thank you for bringing light to this horrible horrible problem! Fortunately, I did not have to go through something like this, but if I did when I was younger, I would’ve been scared to death. It’s our body, not theirs!!!

smudge13-1.bsky.social•3 days ago

I too would have died, right after the birth of my son. First, my uterus came out with him and I was losing a lot of blood. Second, turned out some of the placenta was still there and again almost bled to death. 24 years old at the time.

sabrinarina.bsky.social•3 days ago

holy shit!
I've had a couple d&c during injury but wtf are they trying to control women.
There's got to be something deep down men with power are afraid of.

lucketthistory.bsky.social•4 days ago

Same with my wife, which means that neither she nor my 8 year old daughter (born later on) would exist today.

How would me being a childless widower align with anyone’s family values?
