Teenage Girl Denied Life-Saving Prescription Under AZ's Abortion Law
This doesn't sound pro-life to me.

Yet another horror story came to fruition following strict abortion bans after the conservative-leaning Supreme Court overturned Roe. 14-year-old Emma Thompson of Tucson was denied a refill for a life-saving prescription drug she had been taking for years.
The denial of the direly needed medication for her debilitating rheumatoid arthritis and osteoporosis happened just two days after Arizona's new abortion law had taken effect.
This is absolute evil disguised as religion.
This is what these outrageous draconian anti-science laws are doing. But hey…what’s the big deal about children suffering as long as they’re born, right? Evil wrapped in religion is still evil. https://t.co/yq3cOXtcPP

Via KOLD News 13 :
She relies on methotrexate to help tame the effects of the disease.
But methotrexate can also be used to end ectopic pregnancies, to induce an abortion, and that's where the problem arises.
"As a mother who has had to deal with my child being very ill most of her life, I was scared, I was really worried," said her mother, Kaitlin Preble. "I was shaking. I was in tears. I didn't know what to do."
The young girl's physician, Dr. Deborah Jane Power, said, "this was the first pediatric patient that had been denied her medication."
She admits she was angry, which spilled over into a Twitter post where she said, "Welcome to Arizona, she was denied because she's female," and she said she was "livid."
Dr. Power said. "It's really frustrating, and I'm very angry."
Someone, please explain to me how denying a girl much-needed medication for a disease she is suffering from is pro-life. Explain it to me like I'm 5-years-old. Annnnd go!

It's so fucking sick, so fucking cruel, it could make whoever reads this cry.
Ectopic pregnancies are a failure of the blastocyst to attach to the uterus and instead attaches elsewhere. They must be aborted (naturally or induced) or else the female would die.
So on top of the insanity of the law (a system gone awry) preventing medication just because it has other uses, denying medication for ectopic pregnancies themselves is insane.
I hope Samuel Alito gets pregnant.
Alito should have his butt sick removed so he can enjoy anal sex with Herschel Walker.
Then Alito should have to carry the little turd for nine months.
I have declared this whole # 4 thread off topic and am awaiting deletion by the moderators. Please do not continue the distraction.
Why doesn’t the article include the fact that she got her refill?
Please post the source for that.
So it's okay then that her access to her medicine was delayed for a day... for no good reason ?
Did you see the source for her getting her medication? I searched for it and couldn't find it.
Yes, her medication was approved 24 hours later.
Thank you Snuffy for posting that link - an excellent article confirming that she received her medication, but very clearly also criticizing the effect that Arizona has wrought upon women, invoking a 19th century law that has been triggered by the decision of the SCOTUS, that did NOT take into consideration the horrid effects their decision would bring upon American women.
As this matter has now come to a conclusion, I am locking this seed. Perhaps someone should post an article on the terror for women that the SCOTUS' Roe v Wade decision has wrought.
