Good. These places are just people practicing medicine without a license and an agenda they will lie for. Should be illegal everywhere.

Those places are religious places disguised as medical care. Fuck those places.

Sue these places up to the last penny. Fuck them.

And sue the fascists who fund those clinics.

The more these sham centers try to pretend that they're medical establishments, the more they're going to do this to people, and yet US lawmakers are giving them even more funding. They can't both say they're not medical providers and do things like ultrasounds.

At least they saved that baby, right?

Except they didn't.

There is and can be no baby when there is an ectopic pregnancy. The early fetus will never develop into a baby. It is impossible in the case of a nectopic pregnancy because that fetus needs to grow in the uterus, not in a tiny fallopian tube.

Even if you consider the fetus to be a baby already, there is zero value in preventing abortion because that baby cannot live. All it can do is potentially kill its mother before it also dies.

That’s… I’m pretty sure that’s the joke.

I understood. That doesn't mean it's not worth saying.

This is what happens when you let religious loonies practice medicine. I'm glad she didn't die & I hope she shuts the company down entirely.
