Wanna hear something interesting? There's Been So Many People Harmed By Dobbs That a Detailed List of Their Cases Exceeds the Tumblr Text Block Limit. The Complete List Won't Save in One Post Anymore. So Here's Part 1:
Marlena Stell had an incomplete miscarriage. That’s when the fetus starts to miscarry but doesn’t exit the body. She was forced to wait 2 weeks with a dead fetus inside her before she got treatment.
Amanda Zurawski had premature dilation. The pregnancy was previability, and the fetus would not survive. But it still had a heartbeat, so she had to wait before getting an abortion. She went into septic shock.
Mylissa Farmer’s water broke early. Too early for the baby to survive. The hospital said it couldn’t treat her. She reached out to her senator…who referred her to an antiabortion crisis pregnancy. She reached out to her state attorney general…who simply never got back to her. She had to travel out of state for an abortion.
The 10-year-old from Ohio was fucking raped, and she had to go out of state for an abortion. “Prolifers” said she should have been forced to give birth.
The 16-year-old from Florida was sentenced to parenthood by a judge who thought her grades showed she was too irresponsible for an abortion…but clearly responsible enough to raise a child…with no job or parents to support her.
The 15-year-old from Florida was raped and had to leave the state for an abortion.
Nancy Davis was pregnant with a headless fetus. She had to travel out of state for an abortion.
Elizabeth Weller’s water broke early. Previability. But the fetus had a heartbeat, so Elizabeth had to wait for infection to set in before she got an abortion.

Kelly Shannon had a fetus with multiple health defects. Even if it survived to 9 months, it likely wouldn’t survive labor. She had to travel out of state for an abortion.

May every forced birther hear that sound in their dreams.

Heather Maberry was forced to travel out of state to abort a headless fetus.
