If a woman's life is in danger if she becomes pregnant, she needs to not get pregnant in the first place. If she does become pregnant, she can carry the baby to viability and give birth early.
Ah, to be that naive. I used to think like that when I was a teenager, raised by deeply Catholic parents and brainwashed with pro-life propaganda in my Catholic school. I had zero experience of life, of medical care or sex. I was pretty clueless, just like @agnurse is. To me abortion was hypothetical as I had never had sex, been sexually assaulted, been pregnant, given birth or had a miscarriage. I see that same naiveté among the male legislators and their handmaidens, like agnurse, usually older women who have forgotten what it's like to be at risk of pregnancy or young religious women who have no experience of life and have never had sex.
Now I'm married, have had two DC and a miscarriage. My first pregnancy ended in miscarriage at 12 weeks. I couldn't have a D&C for various reasons so I had to miscarry naturally. It was incredibly painful, I had a lot of blood loss and had to go to the ER, lying in the ambulance terrified I was dying because of the amount of blood pouring out of me. I wouldn't wish that experience on anyone. That was a transformative experience for me.
Because of Alabama's new legislation, a woman in that state who has a natural miscarriage like mine can end up being questioned by the police on whether she took pills or other action to induce miscarriage and could be charged with a crime if the men who question her decide she's guilty. It's sickening, it's medieval and women deserve so much better.
