This is A Thing That Exists: A bill in Missouri would make it illegal to abort an ectopic pregnancy. I cannot even anymore. For those of you who don’t know:
An ectopic pregnancy is a complication that occurs when a fertilized egg implants and grows in a woman’s body outside of her uterus, often in the fallopian tube, according to the Mayo Clinic. The fertilized egg can’t survive and can cause internal bleeding and possibly death if it goes untreated.
This is an actual medical condition that needs to be treated with an abortion or the patient will die. I can’t stress this enough. This will quite literally kill people.
Oh wait. No it won’t. Because, you know, those walking uteruses are only good for incubating babies. 🙄
Remember, we’re living in a society with people who honestly believe that an ectopic pregnancy can be re-implanted into the uterus so yeah. That Mike Judge movie Idiocracy? We’re already living in it.
Things like this make me root for the eventual asteroid. It’s been a good run, but I think humanity is over now.
