US anti abortion laws, as currently written, generally do not punish a woman herself for getting an abortion.

In 2016 Trump floated that idea but, even among the “pro-life” crowd it was very unpopular.

So the laws have been written to target healthcare providers who do abortions. And abortions, as written, can have a very wide range of potential definitions including helping someone who is undergoing a miscarriage in early pregnancy (a sadly very common occurrence).

So to avoid any possible legal entanglements healthcare providers in those states will naturally try to avoid dealing with women until their pregnancy is more secure. This obviously is not great for either maternal or fetal health but is an entirely predictable outcome from the rules as they are written.

Some states’ abortion laws specify that care for ectopic pregnancies and pregnancy loss is not criminalized in its statutes. Most states with these provisions in their bans allow for the removal of a dead fetus or embryo, but not for miscarriage care, generally. This means that pregnant people who are actively miscarrying may be denied care if there is still detectable fetal cardiac activity. There have already been reports of such situations in Texas and Louisiana. In Louisiana, for example, a pregnant woman went to the hospital after experiencing sharp pain and bleeding. She was informed her fetus had likely stopped growing a few weeks prior, as its size did not correspond to the length of her pregnancy, and that it had very faint cardiac activity. Despite the pain and the blood loss she was experiencing, she could not receive the regimen of mifepristone and misoprostol commonly prescribed to pregnant patients who are miscarrying to ensure that the pregnancy is safely expelled from the body completely in a timely manner, thereby decreasing the risk of sepsis and infection. Instead, she had to wait for the miscarriage to progress without medical intervention, which would have expedited the process and reduced her medical risk. In states where the abortion bans do not clarify that miscarriage care is not criminalized – even when there is still detectable cardiac activity – pregnant people may not be able to receive care to manage their pregnancy loss unless and until it becomes a medical emergency.
This issue alone would be enough for me to vote Kamala if I voted over there.
It's absolutely disgusting and tragic what pregnant women who need medical treatment are having to go through because of some medieval thinking and short sighted laws.
 
Joe Rogan listeners were going to vote Trump anyway, no?
trump is relying on low propensity voters which I’d imagine a large proportion of Rogan listeners would be.

it feels late though for those guys. If you aren’t registered by yesterday could you still vote?

Answer is a handful do allow registration this late but some are pretty blue.

So it’s down to whether those low propensity voters are already registered, otherwise it’s meaningless.
 
…..apparently premises boarded up in D.C. expecting trouble in the unlikely event of Harris being declared winner, Trump setting a small fortune aside to legally fight the outcome. My understanding (and concern) is he selected the key judges when last in power, so much for democracy and the Rule of Law.

MADA; make America decent again, elect Harris.
 
I support my many friends based in the US, most of whom are voting for him having suffered as small business owners and young families over the past four years. They've had enough and I'll back them any day of the week.
SMall business' were booming under Biden compared to Trump according to stats.

Throughout Biden’s presidency, he has sought ways to make life, less terrible for parents.” His administration has embraced a robust role for the public sector in universal policies like paid family leave, child care, and home care. But while his heart and his ambition may be big, he has not been able to deliver big for families, because of GOP opposition and a razor-thin Democratic majority in the Senate


You might want to have a word with your many friends in the US!

Admittedly, I am going off what I read not what I experience but, it is out there
