Judge Joseph Seidlin on Monday temporarily blocked Iowa's six-week abortion ban bill.

Polk County District Court Judge Joseph Seidlin on Monday temporarily blocked Iowa’s six-week abortion ban bill that ceased nearly all abortions in the state for 72 hours. The legislation was signed on Friday by Gov. Kim Reynolds after state lawmakers held a special session Tuesday with the “sole purpose” of passing the legislation.

    Notice how I specifically said “and her doctor”? That wasn’t for funsies. At or near term, doctors will induce birth or perform a c-section, not an abortion.

    It’s a medical procedure and as such hypotheticals WAY outside of standard practice to the point that the doctor would lose their licence in any modern country are as irrelevant as arguing about whether it should be allowed for doctors to remove a healthy spleen just because they’re bored.

      You said “infinity weeks”. If you actually meant “less than 30 or so weeks” why didn’t you say that? “Infinity” and “less than 30” are very different.

        I didn’t mean less than 30 or so weeks, I meant infinity weeks within common medical practice. Which number of weeks you want to apply as an absolute isn’t the important part, the medical expertise is.

        You seem to have the reading comprehension and knowledge about female reproductive medicine of either an elementary school boy or an average Republican congressman, whichever is slightly worse than the other.

          I meant infinity weeks within common medical practice.

          So by “infinity” you meant “less than 30”. Infinity is literally the worst, most incorrect word that you could have used in this situation. You criticising my reading comprehension is a hoot based on your poor choice of words that mean one thing but you’re using them to mean something else. Even an elementary school kid knows not to use infinity when they mean “less than 30”. You seem to have the same amount of communication skills as an average Democratic congressman.
