Hi Twitter friends. I’m going to post something out of the ordinary for me, but it’s very important so just bear with me. Four weeks ago, I was pregnant. My husband and I were simply elated for the 6 days that we knew before the pregnancy ruptured inside my fallopian tube.

False. Of the 20 abortion ban states only 7 have exceptions for nonviability & only 14 have exceptions to protect the health of the pregnant person. Which means multiple states currently require proof of imminent “risk of death” for an ectopic exception. Risking everything else…

Oh, and of course, I had to both recover from a traumatic abdominal surgery *and* mourn the loss of my child. A child that was so, so very wanted. This all happened 3.5 weeks ago, so I’m still very much in the throes of these things. Vote like you give a shit about women :)

When abortion laws are passed, they threaten the health and safety of women. Even exceptions for the “health” or “life” of the mother are dangerous — how close to dying do I have to be before I can be treated?

You don’t know all of the nuances of why abortion is healthcare, but it just is, okay? How about you leave the healthcare of women to them and their physicians and stop voting for people who want to police us into our literal graves. Thanks.

and it was over. Not only had we lost our first baby, but had I waited to seek treatment, or if the law had decided I wasn’t in enough danger for physicians to help me, I truly could have died. They don’t put just anyone lights and sirens across town.

But so many of these restrictive abortion laws are poised to make that treatment illegal. Women in the states with the worst laws are being told to wait until they are closer to serious health complications or death before seeking treatment.

If we had somehow known this pregnancy was ectopic before it ruptured one of my only two fallopian tubes, it would have been treated with an abortion pill. My baby wouldn’t have yet died, but it would only be a matter of time, along with the rupture of my tube.

As far as we knew, the pregnancy was normal and progressing well. You can only tell so much that early (about 5 weeks gestation). Then, all of a sudden, I was in the ER for abdominal pain and we were informed that my pregnancy had ended, my baby was never going to make it,

and I was hemorrhaging internally. I was transferred by ambulance for emergency surgery. My fallopian tube was damaged from the rupture, so I lost it. I’ll have only my left tube for the rest of my life. Only a few hours after I arrived at the ER, I was walking up from surgery,
