Pregnancy is too complicated to regulate & legislate. And so called “exceptions” to abortion bans are bullshit PR stunts. Per @JessicaValenti: “Heather Maberry was 20 weeks pregnant when she got the news, and was told that despite the prognosis the law prevented her from getting care. But she couldn’t bear the idea of carrying the pregnancy for another 17 or 18 weeks: ‘I said, 'I physically can't and mentally can't continue carrying her knowing that she's never gonna breathe, we're never going to have a life with her.’ Maberry was able to get financing from abortion funds, who helped her with the cost of procedure and travel to Chicago, where she had the abortion. Without their funding, she would have had to pay $6,000 to $7,000 out-of-pocket. She doesn’t blame her doctors, she says, but the politicians. ‘I mean most of them are men. They are never going to have to carry a child. They're never going to have to be in the position, they're never gonna be the one that was carrying that baby and had to go through hell.’”
