Rules:
- The mods are fallible; if you've been banned or had a post/comment removed, please appeal.
- Off-topic posts will be removed. If you don't know what "Leopards ate my Face" is, try reading this post.
- If the reason your post meets Rule 1 isn't in the source, you must add a source in the post body (not the comments) to explain this. If the reason is in the source but is tedious to find (e.g. in a lengthy video), you must add an explanation for where it is.
- Posts should use high-quality sources (for a rough idea, check out this list), and posts should retain the title (if one exists) from works like news articles, videos, etc. You may (but need not) edit your post if the source changes the title. (If you're only using an excerpt from an article that's otherwise not about LAMF, you can use the quote in the title.) Other types of posts should have a title which accurately, relatively neutrally describes their contents.
- For accessibility reasons, an image of text must either have alt text or a transcription in the post body.
- Reposts within 1 year or the Top 100 of all time are subject to removal. Within moderator discretion, this doesn't just include reposts of the exact same media but also includes e.g. a secondary source telling basically the exact same story as another that was already posted.
- This is not exclusively a US politics community. You're encouraged to post stories about anyone from any place in the world at any point in history as long as you meet the other rules.
- All Lemmy.World Terms of Service apply.

No baby. It was an ectopic pregnancy. They were so anti-abortion that they basically made any medical procedure in that direction illegal, ignoring any medical input.
An ectopic pregnancy is a pregnancy happening outside the uterus, and the only way to save the mother is to remove the embryo. Such a "pregnancy" never leads to a baby being born if left alone. It's basically abortion or both die. And those idiots went big ways to make this procedure illegal. Any doctor confronted with such a diagnosis has the option to let the mother die or go to prison.
Shit like that happens when the education system is so anti-science that actual scientific input to a discussion is simply ignored as being too "sciency". We are talking about the country where they once legally defined the value of the number PI as four...
I know, it was intended to be a dark joke but appreciate the details for anyone else that might be reading.
The article says she's due in August.
Not with an ectopic pregnancy. That must have been before.
