This is your takeaway?
You post a hysteria-driven article which tries to push rare events as the mainstay AND as the gateway to allow abortions for any reason. Yes, my takeaway is that you want women to be able to kill inconvenient babies because that's the only takeaway available once you look past the pearl-clutching and dig into the actual numbers.
It's either that or you're vastly ignorant of the daily reality of the cause for which you're championing.

It's actually true. I'm as pro-life redblooded as there comes, but I have an unfortunate friend that had a miscarriage a few weeks ago. Her water broke at 20 weeks. The baby survived another 2 weeks, but died in the womb. Due to the new laws, they could have only either done a C-section or she would have to wait for the baby to be passed on its own. She carried it for another 10 days as she decided against surgery. This was her first child too. Heartbreaking. There definitely needs to be some adjustments to the law for medical intervention on miscarriage or ectopic pregnancies. As a father of two, and my wife also had a miscarriage, nobody should have to go through what my friend did.

My ex step sister, a vile creature , the ex wife of a B list celebrity, abortion crusader, parents of not one but two gay children ( 100%!) made a name for herself on social media for writing about her aborted baby , how great her life was for killing it, and holding a “ name your abortion “ contest on Twitter.

Pregnancy care... You mean killing babies. Stop sugar coating what it really is with "pregnancy care," "women's health" and "reproductive health." It's killing babies. Period.
There's a reason the media and pro-choice people do everything they can to keep actual film footage of a fetus being "aborted" from being shown to the broader public. Because when the broader public actually sees the reality of it and sees that these aren't just "masses of cells" being destroyed, support for abortion would decline significantly.

Respectfully, you're being emotional. The article was not hysteria-driven or hysteria-inducing. You don't like the content, so you're making unfounded accusations.

You're projecting. I've literally never advocated for abortions. It makes you feel morally superior to assume everyone you don't like has beliefs like that. You can think whatever you want. Abortion is illegal in Louisiana so I'm not sure why you're even bringing it up.

You don't even even know what my stance is. You're just spouting off emotional rants when the reality is you don't know what my stance is on most issues. You just make stuff up so you can wag your finger at another woman.

Same old leftist talking points when abortion gets rightfully handled.
People that need care, can still receive care.
Abortion as a form of birth control, not so much.

You believe that all pregnancy care in a state that has banned abortion is... providing abortions?

Going to step away from the abortion topic for a minute because my stance on that is highly derived from my own personal and religious beliefs. So apologize in advance for going slightly off topic:
I know the media is attacking the state now because of the republican governor and the recent abortion legislation, but the reality is that access to any kind of specialist was a disaster that was promised to be fixed when JBE expanded medicaid 8 years ago. That did nothing but cost the taxpayers a fortune. It was a total lie and most people outside of the Baton Rouge political bubble knew it. For some reason (shock), the local and national media outlets don't even talk about this.
The infant mortality rate is just as high as ever after 8 years of massively expanded medicaid that was sold as a method of improving health outcomes. In Louisiana, it's among the worst in the developed world when you get out of the urban/suburban areas. The problem is geographic access to maternity care just as it is to a wide variety of other specialists. Expanded medicaid didn't help those rural hospitals bring in additional specialists and broaden their service range.
A lot of people in La are far away from care and either don't have the transportation to get to any kind of specialist or don't have the $$ or time to take care of themselves when they have to travel hours to see a specialist. The rural hospitals we have can't really justify the investment of starting a maternity service. Most of them haven't had that kind of staff available since the 1980s.
And yeah, the state's obesity issue and other health care problems aren't making it easier. But we aren't the only ones with those problems.
A side note - our state's highway network also doesn't make driving into the larger cities easy either. Once again, our government has failed to keep our roads and highway network current. Seriously we have got to make it easier to get around this state. You'd be surprised at how many people are afraid to cross the Mississippi River or drive over the spillway - especially young women. It's extremely daunting for some of them to drive 75+ minutes through an unfamiliar city for semi-regular checkups.

"In the wake of Louisiana's abortion ban..."
You mean to imply that because abortion was banned women cannot receive prenatal care? bullshite. It's propaganda attempting to argue that abortion is "pregnancy care," or "reproductive health," or "women's health," and Louisiana's prohibition of it is supposedly having negative health ramifications for pregnant women. bullshite.

So, F B’s only response is to disparage NPR. It is self-evident that politicians inserting themselves
Into doctor- patient health decisions
Is a recipe for disaster. Pregnancy compilations should be addressed
using best
medical practices, as determined by the physician. The government should stay out of it.

You made the claim.
Can you substantiate it?
