Travelling to US when pregnant

[Vintagegoth]

Someone I know who is pregnant is travelling to the US, specifically Texas, for several months. I expressed surprise that they would choose to do that considering the mess that is the law around abortion and women's reproductive health in the US at the moment. My husband says IABU. What do people think?

The other inequalities masked by averages is that health outcomes in « blue » states that protect women’s human rights are much better than in red states that don’t place value in women.

An acquaintance in Canada was advised by her doctor to only travel to blue states while pregnant if she needed to go due to red states not valuing the life of the woman if it an emergent medical situation placed woman and fœtus at odds.

Some very niave posts on this thread. They absolutely will, and have, put women's lives at risk. As reported in BMJ...

Of course the risks also extend to women who travel there without yet knowing they are pregnant. More so perhaps due the early stage problems.

So this thread did one good thing - I remembered to donate to this fantastic charity whose message boards supported me through my ectopic and ultimately led me to Mumsnet:
