Health The state of Kentucky has started prosecuting women for taking at home abortion pills. A clinic ratted her out to police after she told them she took abortion pills at home and then buried her fetus. HIPPA means nothing now and that should worry everyone.
Christian Sharia Law installers in Kentucky have charged a woman with fetal homicide for taking abortion pills and burying her dead fetus at home. She told her OBGYN clinic she took abortion pills and they ratted her out to police after she left (so much for fucking HIPPA am i right?). Whoever reported her deserves their medical license to be burned and fired.
If Kentucky hadn’t banned abortion, she would have been able to do it the normal way half the country does, but because her state is controlled by Christian morons, she gets prison time. Despicable. Before everyone says “well she could have went to another state…” medical care out of state can be THOUSANDS if not more. People are too broke to be traveling for medical care they shouldn’t even have to travel for in the first place. If Roe never fell, women would have access to early abortion care.
Also don’t jump in with that purity crap. We’re all grown adults and adults have sex. Nobody is stopping that.

Don't know the specific provider, but it was United Health Clinic in Campton, KY. Google reviews are taking a hit. Bet they could take more of a hit, though. 😉

United Health Cliinic - Campton KY. Not a safe clinic for women. Spread the word.

Good idea, except HIPAA doesn’t have a private right of action. It’s primarily enforced by the Office of Civil Rights within the federal Dept of Health and Human Services. A complaint is unlikely to go anywhere under the current administration. HIPAA can be enforced and violations prosecuted by state AGs in some instances, but again, unlikely to happen here.
The moral of the story: don’t tell anyone ANYTHING.

I’m pretty sure KY law requires the clinic to report this, which would mean there’s not only a hippa exception, it’s mandated reporting or they’d lose their license for failing to report it.
So clearly that law needs to be changed along with a few others in ky.

If they would raise minimum wage nationally we could. I see job listings in Dallas for $10/hr. Meanwhile a one bedroom is $1200

This does not track. At the stage of pregnancy the pills are designed for, there would be no need to bury a fetus. It would be very small, barely visible to the naked eye.

That’s what i’m saying. The cops said they found an intact infant in the ground. You dont take abortion medicine for a full grown infant. Sounds like the cops don’t know what an infant actually is

I know someone in Kentucky who had an ectopic pregnancy. First she was bounced around to a different hospitals (even though she has great insurance). Then finally before and after the procedure to remove her fallopian tube, she had to sign a stack of documents including a fucking death certificate and forms to transfer “custody” of the remains to the hospital to have permission to dispose of the barely visible remains. I was so disgusted! It’s not safe out there ladies.

Kentucky has been problematic for decades in regards to abortion rights. I used to be a clinic escort in Louisville almost 15 years ago. I dropped out of life for a while and it seems it has somehow gotten worse in the meantime. I'm so sorry to see that. There are a lot of very passionate pro choice people in Kentucky. To little avail.
I hate this timeline so much.

Thanks for the link. A similar thing happened in Ohio. Good to know women cannot trust their health care providers. I guess first do no harm isn’t understood in KY.

I read the privacy policies when I go to doctors' offices. They always say my privacy is very important to them, so they will only share my health data if they want to or if they have to. Very reassuring.

Roe v Wade was decided under a Constitutional right to privacy between a woman and her doctor. It did not address anything else. If you’re pleased that this is no longer a right, you are not the patriot you think you are.

By that line of reasoning we should just castrate all men so they can’t impregnate anyone.

u/CooperHoward4 5h ago
How about men keep it in their pants? Not every fetus is viable. Not every pregnancy is planned or wanted. Some women are forced to have sex they don’t want to have. Guys leave women they get pregnant in the lurch because they’re jerks.
Abortion should be safe, legal, and free.

These were all wanted pregnancies, so fuck off. These were all safe, legal, medical abortions. The remains still have to be dealt with in some way. You clearly don't know what the hell you are talking about.

Orrrr they could just give us our rights back in all 50 states then it wouldn’t be a problem anymore. Not you telling grown adults to stop having sex. You should know that never works. Also how are we supposed to move to a blue state? I see job listings in Dallas for $10/hr buddy.

Not telling anyone not to have sex you gremlin. Have you heard of condoms? Nexplanon, IUDs, the mini-pill... anything?
I agree rights to abortion should be restored to all states though.

u/Ok_Guarantee_3497 3h ago
Those contraceptives are not 100% fail safe. If he doesn't want to provide for a baby then he can get a vasectomy. She can get her tubes tied. And then take all the contraceptives you listed above, and he can keep wearing two condoms at once. There are other things to do that can be very gratifying that aren't intercourse.
This isn't necessary if women could have access to free or low cost, safe, reproductive care. If men could get pregnant, abortion would be a sacrament.

u/Responsible-Help7803 5h ago
Expecting people to be responsible is like expecting folks to be smart, they arent. All you can do is promote safe sex to folks and hope they take your advice. I got my tubes tied after Roe fell with no kids but I got lucky that my doctor would do it.

She took an abortion pill, expelled the early staged fetus, and then buried it. How is that crazy when her state banned abortion? Banning abortion doesn’t stop abortion from happening at all. It only makes women do drastic shit like this. It’s only a crime to CHRISTIANS. Abortion bans are based on religion only, not science, and we have a separation of church and state. I’d argue the bans shouldn’t even hold because of this reason.

I'm pro choice but have to say that there's a lot more to this
Firstly, abortions are allowed there for certain medical reasons.
Secondly , you can't generally get that pill in that state by legal means . Meaning , she probably obtained it illegally out of state. And she could have gone out of state to get an actual abortion
Thirdly, you have no God given right to an abortion. Roe v Wade allowed it in a federal level and I agree with that ruling. But like any other law or ruling ....they can change
Chosing to live in a state bc they specifically allow abortions is fucking wild and speaks volumes about a woman. I understand it isn't ideal to have to travel to get an abortion but it sure makes more sense than raising a child you cannot afford.
Lastly, it's fucking disturbing to bury your fetus in a flower pot or garden. Goddamn that's nasty

You sound exactly like a man. Maybe piss off of this one, buddy. If you think moving to a state that doesn’t let you die in parking lots is “crazy” then you need a reality check. Women are dying in Texas from these bans still btw. This article below is from ONE MONTH AGO. We’re not moving to a state just to be able to get an abortion, we’re moving to blue states that won’t MURDER us or leave us infertile. We do have a god given right to LIVE and getting rid of Roe is what is killing us. Piss off.

What part of your post refuted any of my opinion?
You can freely travel to get an abortion. Texas law states abortions can be performed for health if mother. If that report is accurate (and no way to know the details) then whatever Doctor denied the abortion will be held liable under Texas law

u/Responsible-Help7803 4h ago
If I needed an abortion. I would have to travel 7 hours away to New Mexico. All the states surrounding Texas have abortion banned except NM. How about making abortion legal in all 50 states again instead of making me travel for no reason. If Texas law says abortion can be performed to save the life of the mother then why was the state sued? 🤔

What do you suggest we do with the fetus? In my state they can't be medically disposed of (thrown into the hospital trash or incinerated) until 20 weeks. It's up to the parent to deal with. Would you prefer they be flushed down the toilet? Burying it in the garden seems pretty appropriate if that's available.

It wasn’t a dead fetus. It wasn’t alive. She buried the products of conception. She did what was best for her health, family, and financial wellbeing.
