no tissues. Just red-hot rage at those bible-thumping f*ckers who even today (2019) enacted a law to put women through this. May they forever burn in hell!

My condolences to Dina Zirlott. This should not have happened.

I think the pharmacies here hand out morning after pills on asking. I know that option probably wasn't and certainly isn't available to Alabama women. Every time I think I've seen, witnessed, heard of men's brutality on women, something new comes up. I was standing in the grocery store line early one Sunday morning in another State. The men behind me were talking about kidnapping and drugging women them making videos of their assault. Did the clerk hear what I did? Did the video surveillance pick it up? Yes I was frightened. These men were in a uniform similar to firemen but not the official uniform I was familiar with. Another town, I saw that same uniform pant on a man with his car door open at a busy filling station where the restrooms were across the parking lot requiring a key. The car was there too long. I mentioned this to my sports ladies so they would be aware. I felt they just shrugged it off.

Wasn't there an instance where a pharmacist refused to give someone the morning after pill based on HIS religious beliefs. This was long ago and don't remember where but I think we'll see this repeated all over the country. And it's scary how people are not the least aware of their surroundings these days. I think "gut instincts" no longer exists and wonder why that is?

They've been doing that here since 2001. Pharmacies, clinics, university health centers, etc. No prescription needed.

I think "gut instincts" no longer exists and wonder why that is? I am sure some pharmacists could refuse. Awareness and gut instinct can help. The newspaper came out a while back that said perps did not have a vapor sedative that is odorless and can be puffed in the face. This was a calm fears of answering the door. I don't answer if I don't know who it is.
My H. read a book that had information on how one pimp kidnapped women, got them hooked on drugs then put them on the street. It sounded like a "how to" instruction to me.

They've been doing that here since 2001. Pharmacies, clinics, university health centers, etc. No prescription needed. I believe you can get it through mail order. Someone this weekend mentioned that Alabama women could still order the morning after pill through the mail.
Until they figure out how to make that illegal, too.

She didn’t know she was pregnant until she was 8 months along. That is not a fetus. That is a baby. My daughter was born at 8 months. Trust me, she was a person and not a clump of cells This is a very sad story but this has nothing to do with the new heartbeat law. This is long past any reasonable abortion stage.

DH is a pharmacist. Pharmacists like that douche burn him. He said, "my job is to administer the medication that is appropriate in your situation, not to judge you. Also, there are so many different situations where the morning after pill is appropriate, it doesn't mean she's a 'ho."

Why should she have to run and make special arrangements to get a prescription that is in stock? The pharmacist needs to dispense it and STFU. Unless it's going to cause some horrible reaction with something she is already on, he shouldn't be refusing it.

I also don't know if I could have gone through with an abortion. That choice was taken away from her.

I was forced to give birth to the child of this rape, always connected in some way to the man who took so much from me.
Her complaint, which I copied and pasted, was that she was forced to give birth to a child of this rape. At 8 months, I hope to hell no one is ok with her aborting a baby just because the child was a product of rape. The fact that the child had issues was not brought up by her so I have only to assume that she would feel the same way whether the child was perfectly normal or not. Sorry, but this is not the article that liberals should hang their hat on. Sorry that she didn't realize she was pregnant until the baby was just about full term but condoning murdering a full term baby just because it was a product of rape is beyond disgusting. If it was anything else, this article shoulf have focused on the brain abnormalities and not the rape.

At 8 months, and it's a healthy child, I'm sorry, but you really can't have an abortion now, I feel for you, but the fetus is now definitely viable. The hydroencephaly puts a whole different spin on it. There is no question this baby will not survive, and forcing her to carry it is horrible.

To the point where the 24 hrs. pharmacy near me has been closed several times because they don't have enough pharmacists to staff, despite 6 figure salaries. So yeah, I'd guess they're going to take anyone they can get with that degree.

One thing is for sure, these politicians are insensitive to rape. They still want to insist that Rape is consensual. Apparently if you breathe and are in the presence of a Male, you wanted it, and that is = to consent.

In my more cynical moments, I wonder/assume if this is because they've raped someone. Or ignored consent in some blatant fashion.

Abortion past 20 weeks is 1.2% of all abortion. These are all about maternal health and fetus viability. Even in a world where we reduced abortion through education, health care and social services, late term abortion could not and should not be stopped.

Initially I thought it said you were in favor of stopping late term abortion, but that did not make sense with the first part of your statement. I think you mean to say late term abortion could not and should not be stopped?
There are those in this world that have no problem with stopping all abortion, so it could be stopped.

In the case of a full term baby that hasn’t taken its first breath yet, do you think the father has any say in the matter? Or do you believe that only the mother has a say in whether their child gets to live?

Good luck finding a doctor who will do it. It's hard enough to find one to do a late term abortion when it's medically warranted.
