Sounds like a bullshite interpretation. Sorry, but 2hrs postnatal survival would qualify. Who asserted otherwise? You said she'd not have considered it, so the option wasn't explored.

Sorry.
I missed this before.
Do you have any idea as to the inequity or inegality of outcome and/or justice within the region which your friend is addressing?

I'm thinking this may be a troll thread, a damn good one too.

East Jerusalem is a term used to signify the part of Jerusalem that came under Israeli occupation after the 1967 war, as opposed to the part of Jerusalem that has been under Israeli control since the 1948 war, which is often referred to as "West Jerusalem."

Would you risk your license, money and jail time to argue that a baby surviving 30 minutes outside of the womb qualifies as a fetus not surviving pregnancy?

Right.

The job of the government is to micro-manage mothers


First, are you suggesting pregnant ladies who have their babies aborted are Mothers? Sounds rather at odds with the concept of Motherhood.

Second, does the government “micromanage” criminals and try to prevent murders by criminals? Yes as it should. And if you ask me, the fundamental charge in the Constitution mandates the government to defend a person’s right to LIFE, LIBERTY, and the PURSUIT OF HAPPINESS. If that involves a basic guarding/“micromanaging” of a “Mother” to protect a child’s fundamental rights then so be it.

No. If I was in that game (which I would never be d/t personal choice), I'd have legal advocates clear it the day the law passed. It would be my very strong expectation that a prognosis of death in the immediate postnatal period would qualify as unsurvivable. But perhaps some of our resident esquires could weigh in.

I thought that answered your question. Land under Israeli occupation. Separate roads for Palestinians and Jews, separate schools for Palestinians and Jews, utilities rationed for Palestinians, frequent checkpoints and road closures for Palestinians, etc.

Edit: I don’t want to get in any sort it debate about this because I don’t know enough about the situation and complexities of the region.

By "land under Israeli occupation," you mean land previously held by Jews, then conquered and occupied by Muslims, then retaken by Jews?

bullshite!
Now it may be limiting preferred care, or elective care, but the claim re: "essential" is pure crap.

I mean East Jerusalem , which has been occupied by Israel since 1967.

Israeli-occupied territories

Did you see this part:

In October, Stephen Russo, lead attorney for the Louisiana Department of Health, told doctors that with the new statute, abortion is “more of a criminal nature and really it isn’t something that the [health] department has the authority to police,” the Louisiana Illuminator reported at the time. Russo said his agency wasn’t responsible for addressing physician confusion and that the state attorney general’s office would be better suited.


But, notes Avegno, that’s not practical. “No one’s going to call the lawmakers and say, ‘Oh, this was kind of a scary one. I didn’t know what to do,” Avegno says. “These are the same lawmakers that want to throw physicians in jail.”

I take you at your word. But "East Jerusalem" was not the erm you used. Nor is "East Jerusalem" a term (I'd hazard to guess) which your friend used in addressing things (which in turn led to your reference of "occupied Jerusalem" here).

No need to respond, cubbies. But do think about it.

Would you call it less equitable/fair than the American criminal Justice system?

My guess ... Dr. Jennifer Avegnois is either a total dumbass (possible, though not at all likely) or she is a manipulative, conniving, partisan liar.

There’s so much I don’t know about that region. If you noticed, I didn’t argue for or against any side. I’m aware that the knowledge about Israel that I possess pales in comparison to the history and nuance pertaining to Israel that I don’t know.

You really think highly of her, huh?

I don’t trust the lawmakers in Louisiana one bit. I wouldn’t put it past them to make an example of some unsuspecting physician to prove how serious they are about outlawing abortion.
