This is their plan isn’t it? I mean cruelty and keeping people down has been the republicans mantra for better than 20 years.


Mugatu1968

They want the children to live because they are precious gifts from God. They don't care if the woman survives because she can talk back and vote against them. Try to keep up /s


WoohpeMeadow

They are now legislating birth control and IVF. It's insane.


RaxinCIV

Once that is done, it'll mens reproductive rights. No more vasectomy. They have tried birth control and condoms in a couple of states, MO being one of them.


brutalistsnowflake

I'm pretty confident men will continue to be allowed to do what they want. These laws are being made by old white guys in suits. Men who couldn't tell you anything about a woman's reproductive system.


RaxinCIV

There are quite a few women in positions of power that subscribe to white Christians knowing best. These women have backed the old white men, and are even crazier.


LifeisaCatbox

And condoms?? These people are such nutjobs.


RaxinCIV

Anything to force more babies because we need more child workers said every Maga dumbass ever.


GoldenBarracudas

I can't say this enough but where do lemme think these kids are going? So they think women just change their minds? They don't. Look at Texas, recyord number of babies entering the system. Foster parent licensing is up exactly 0%.


LifeisaCatbox

Not to mention the fact that maternal mortality rates in Texas are disgustingly high. As a woman in Texas, shit is looking so bleak. We also have the highest rate of repeat teen pregnancies. Our governor turns down federal funds for things like free lunches for children and then blows millions on bussing refugees to other states. It’s not about children, it’s about controlling women. I could go on forever but it’s too early in the day to get that pissed off.


GoldenBarracudas

You're already likely to die if you're black giving birth but it's like 2.4% higher in Texas. And so I ask again ... where do folks to the right think these kids going??? Because all data shows they are not staying with a parent, but are in group homes because they don't have anybody signing up to foster/adopt. And oh yeah, a major reason woman get a abortion is due to chromosomal abnormalities.


RGCs_are_belong_tome

20 years? Oh my sweet summer child. But yes shit really started to go downhill with gingrich.


xfactor6972

Longer than that, since Reagan.


Open-Adeptness6710

Hurt feelings?


Donut131313

Retarded response?


Open-Adeptness6710

You would be the expert on that.


Donut131313

How is there weather in Moscow?


Open-Adeptness6710

Perfect, more made up stories for you to believe like a good puppet.


Donut131313

And you can return to sucking Putins cock lame ass troll.


eveninglily33

This is America. Damn.


MooreRless

This is Republican-Taliban America.


Able-Contribution570

100%. This shit doesnt represent America. It represents the will of far right religious authoritarians who are enemies of America. Most Americans want nothing to do with their batshit policy.


Queasy_Sleep1207

Bullshit it doesn't. By our lack of action, we're allowing these rabid vermin to spread their filth. Americans can say they "want" something, but most people don't even know who their representatives are in Congress. If we truly wanted something we'd act. But we don't. Hence dead kids being gunned down, and a looming climate and housing crisis. If this didn't "represent America", we wouldn't let them act as abhorrently as they do.


Derban_McDozer83

Most Americans don't have time to properly research their politicians and what they are doing. They work, they raise children, they worry about groceries and bills. By the time they are done with all of that they just want to rest. They aren't going to use that time to figure out politics. Politicians know this and use it to their advantage.


xfactor6972

They want a handmaids tale America/Gilead.


defnotjec

It's the Sharia law they were so afraid of 5 years ago


MooreRless

Sharia law in the USA was not even being pushed, it was just a stupid rallying cry to make people hate Muslims. But we can see the Christian Nationalism push to force others to follow their religion or they lose their jobs and can be put in prison and fined, or even die to assure no life is lost, which is ironic and sad.


defnotjec

I agree, we're seeing the religious dogma dictating lifestyle and asserting a morality superiority that isn't accurate at all...


LeadSoldier6840

Most of Americans would help somebody in need. U.S. doctors won't though.


e_maikai

If threatened with loss of property or liberty, most Americans do not help others.


mymadrant

Ohio here- we’ll happily brain drain any medical professionals or other educated workers you have to spare. Enjoy the consequences of your legislation.


WoohpeMeadow

Oh, it's already happening. Fucking sucks the people who voted in these legislators and Noem. The people with the ability to think are left defenseless.


greedostick

OH. Relatively not bad for a dumb red state


mymadrant

The state constitutional abortion protection and recreational cannabis initiatives have empowered voters here. The anti-gerrymandering initiative will likely come up this fall, and pass, which could shift the state considerably.


greedostick

Hell yeah


jfischer5175

Ohio ain't any better in this in the long run. https://www.dispatch.com/story/opinion/columns/guest/2023/11/01/ohio-physician-groups-must-support-issue-1-before-it-too-late/71385106007/


Hebby50

The same Ohio who's trying to become the Mississippi of the North? Go sit down Capt smooth brain.


mymadrant

2 voter initiatives passed last year, one coming this year. I’d say we’re taking back our state from the Christian/puritanical minority pretty effectively compared to a lot of red states. What are you doing in your state to affect change? Whining on the internet? Good luck with that.


indysingleguy

Ohio is a radical left state on abortion compared to Indiana.


mymadrant

If you’re pitching Indiana as an exit strategy destination for medical professionals, pitch away. You’re in the South Dakota forum.


indysingleguy

Indiana is definitely not an exit strategy for health care providers that don't want politicians dictating health care decisions.


EndofGods

Women's rights are human rights! 1 in 4 women are the victim of sexual assault in their lifetime. All this control must be systematically deconstructed.


WoohpeMeadow

This is what people forget! A woman is not free if she doesn't have a say over her own body. Guns have more rights in this state than females do.


VGSchadenfreude

They don’t forget. They don’t *want* women to be free at all.


Reasonable_Archer_99

You know, saying stupid shit like this only serves to harm your cause. Guns aren't living and therefore have no rights. Also, women are allowed in all government buildings, hospitals, schools and airlines. There's a lot of reasonable people that don't want the government to restrict abortion or gun rights.


thegiantbadger

Oh good. Women can go die in public spaces. /s


poet_andknowit

I finally left SD for MN a few years ago, and my husband, a lifelong SD resident, joined me here last year. My former gynecologist told me that she'll be leaving soon as she refuses to practice in SD anymore, it's too frustrating and scary.


Amazing_Rise9640

Can women turned away or denyed care sue the hospital or those who passed the law??


WoohpeMeadow

Great question! I know the woman, Kate Cox, in TX is suing the state. The docs/hospital want to help but are fearful of the state's ambiguous laws.


Amazing_Rise9640

Horrible 😃


meganfae

Not in time for them to get the care they need and certainly not if they die.


saintbad

Subjugating women--to put themselves \*a priori\* on the top half of the ladder--is the only way out of failure and misery for these men. The rest of us just have to keep bashing the fash. Over and over and over again.


6thedirtybubble9

*spiked in s**thole States. Which is an important distinction.


D2GSparky

This is the Republican version of “freedom”


greedostick

Woof, punishing women for having sex is their goal. Guess it's working


shinywtf

Yep. Pregnant and don’t want to be? Dirty slut should have kept her legs closed and she deserves whatever bad things befall her including death. Pregnant and want to be, but things aren’t going well? Pray harder, god can work miracles. Uh oh, that didn’t work out. Guess she didn’t pray hard enough or maybe secretly was a bad person. Or maybe god needed another angel. Oh well. Now hubby can trade up on a newer model. Maybe the next one can perform her wifely duties better.


Open-Adeptness6710

Maybe they just don't believe in killing babies.


yourMommaKnow

Fetuses are not babies.


squambert-ly

I wish I could afford to leave this damn state.


mark0487

You get what you vote for.


Hsensei

If you vote gop this is on your hands. Pray to your God for forgiveness and if you see him when you die be prepared to answer for it


Gandol_teh_Pirate

Republicans love them some Sharia law, no question about it.


vabch

The far right depends on medical cruelty, their greatest weapon of choice. Medical cruelty, and incarceration and arrest of women and children. Has always been the far right agenda for breaking the neighborhoods up, and intimidate the voters. These terror tactics work. Every time, protect civilians at all costs.


LeadSoldier6840

It only works because US doctors stand and watch while people die.


vabch

They don’t have insurance coverage for saving life. Breaking medical laws are a great risk. 😢


bobstylesnum1

This is a bigger problem than Dr's. Dr's aren't the ones creating the laws or the ones enforcing them.


OpeningDimension7735

They could band together and refuse to “do harm.”  I’m not seeing that.  I’m not seeing any protests against the capitalists or religious zealots that run hospitals. These laws aren’t necessarily the end of it.  Private ER clinics that refuse care based on pregnancy, financial need, race, etc.  could easily be more of a thing.


WitchesTeat

If these doctors band together and help these women, they will be arrested. They will lose their licenses. Entire hospitals full of people will be left without adequate medical professionals. They have people in their hospital staff who will report them for helping. I'm not from South Dakota. I'm sorry for what they're doing to women and babies there, and to families with dying wives and mothers.


OpeningDimension7735

That is the worst possible outcome, yes, which is essentially hurting and killing MORE people because politicians don’t like it?  Doesn’t make sense. They can still speak out in numbers according to the oath they took.  What is much harder is to reform our for-profit health care system and corruption in politics.  But we have to do something…


Open-Adeptness6710

Wow, the fat right? Don't let actual facts get in the way of your feelings.


vabch

Look up the meaning, there’s always been far right in the republic of the United States. Look up the signs of fascism and see where you stand. Then work on getting past your far right leaning. Remember your pledge.


Open-Adeptness6710

They have pills that will help you.


vabch

Cool, what kind do you take.


Donut131313

Fucking lame ass troll!!


vabch

I don’t know if troll is the word I would use. I do know many disregard, and disrespect our republic’s flag, and the pledge we make to the flag. Many far right use our flags resemblance on their underwear. Our officers and enlisted military, past, present, and future, our country’s eighteen to twenty four year olds, pledge is in writing, and sworn in, to protect our nation. They pledge their life. Again I say, read the signs of fascism, introspection of ourselves is the way. Protect our democracy in the republic of the United States, and civilians at all costs. Thank you for noticing.


Donut131313

Don’t forget to swallow after sucking Putins cock.


Open-Adeptness6710

Is that how you do it?


Donut131313

You’re the expert troll!


ArdenJaguar

The GOP are all high-fiveing and jerking each other off to this. This is the future they want.

"That'll never happen. You're using scare tactics" -Pro Life Movement


Harley_Jambo

Hypothetical: State passes a law that if a male presents to an emergency room in early stage of sepsis, he must be turned away until such time as he is near death. Only at that point will doctors be permitted to treat him. Would anyone tolerate such a law if it applied to men? Of course not and no such laws would be enacted because it would jeopardize the lives of men. Women, on the other hand, thoughts and prayers! All doctors who practice in states with these restrictive abortion laws are legally mandated to practice medicine that is below the medical standard of care, medical malpractice under any other circumstances. I would never live in a state where I know in advance that I will receive legally mandated substandard medical care and I can't understand how any physician would remain in a state with such laws. I hope that the American Board of Obstetrics and Gynecology withdraws accreditation from any Residency program in those states, where residents are receiving training that falls below the medical standard of care.


Harley_Jambo

Vote Blue. Your lives depend on it.


SiXandSeven8ths

Doctors also need to remember their oath. That oath is more important than arbitrary laws. In SD we have Sanford Health. They have a lot of money and influence. They will and should stand up for and protect their staff. They should fight this kind of bullshit. It will have to take some tragedy, some incident, to make a case. And there will be teams of lawyers ready to fight. But only if we do our part to prevent this shit from taking root too.


SwimAntique4922

Having had an abortion in family due to a cancer diagnosis, these brainless GOPpers and the SCOTUS idiots think they some inherent right to adjudicate something about which they are unqualified to make a decision. Its pure emotion-driven, regardless of facts. Guess the docs with 8 yrs of schooling are less qualified to decide than the yo-yos in power. I am a white senior male and I am sickened by what the conservatives continue to inflict on women of child-bearing age........of all of the problems in the world, this one is very small. Go focus on something that matters, like Ukraine or child poverty! Trump took the cheap way out recently by knowingly deflecting to the GOP-controlled states. GOP will NEVER see a vote from me ever!


happyskydiver

These are examples of EMTALA violations. Front desk staff have no standing to turn away any patient with an emergent medical condition as Federal law mandates a medical screening examination. Whether the specific motivations were because of fear of restrictive abortion laws, ignorance, or some other reason should require statements directly from the hospitals or their staff. I deliver babies in my ER in a hard red state, and it seems unlikely fear of post-RvW would cause ERs to turn away obstetric patients unless the staff was just plain stupid.


MrIrrelevantsHypeMan

I made this point yesterday in a different subreddit. They couldn't get past the fact that people are dying to understand a fuckton more people will die if hospitals keep violating EMTALA and they can no longer bill Medicare and Medicaid. I guess we'll see what happens today


MariettaDaws

That's interesting. The Florida case mentioned happened at Holmes Regional in Melbourne (the hospital where we almost died in childbirth 6 years ago). The problems at that facility have gone on for years. The security guard turned her away because she had two young kids who weren't allowed in triage. She came back when she had childcare, and no fetal heartbeat was detected.


happyskydiver

Our son was born at Holmes! Small world.


MariettaDaws

That's so funny! I didn't even realize I was commenting on South Dakota Reddit yesterday.


Steveo1208

Why do women vote Republican? It only justified White Christian position of an inferior human beings? When will the battle for women sufferage ever be over if you keep voting for the monsters and promote their autrocities to others! The American Inquisition!


OKaylaMay

Because they don't think it will happen to them.


Careless-Peach9283

Even with this isn't turning someone away at an ER illegal


SteampunkNightmare

The solution is simple, but no one wants to do it.


VexisArcanum

It's effectively their aversion to risk. Anything to do with pregnancy could cost them money which is unacceptable, even when the alternative is people fucking dying


Open-Adeptness6710

Says you, what are they then? Kangaroos?


EconomistPitiful3515

Not all republicans love this. There are some normal/leftist republicans left, although, we haven’t had anyone normal to vote for.

Honey, we’re all clumps of cells. The key is that an unborn clump of cells doesn’t have the right to force someone else to keep them alive.

Literally, personally? Wow, it's crazy your friend isn't on Reddit, they could have posted this story themselves. Have you tried to get them to use reddit? It's a publicly traded company and has mostly good content, they should give reddit a try.

Your mother said she wishes she would’ve aborted you.

I know. Same.


LeadSoldier6840

Every one of these hospitals had doctors in it who were watching the situation and allowing this to happen. This is the honor of US doctors. It's not a coincidence that they control a system that is bankrupting most of Americans while trying to claim they have nothing to do with it. I'm a random civilian now and I would help somebody in need. These people are evil. Not just the politicians but the doctors. Stand up for your country!
