https://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/americas/us-politics/tennessee-denied-abortion-ban-lawsuit-b2529144.htmlTennessee woman who was denied an abortion despite a fatal abnormality says the states anti-abortion laws resulted in her losing an ovary, a fallopian tube and her hopes for a large family.
The state of Tennessee took my fertility from me, Breanna Cecil, 34, told The Independent. She added that state lawmakers took away my opportunity to have a family like my own biological family because of these horrible laws that they put in place.
The mother-of-one said she has not felt the same since her doctor told her in January 2023 that her fetus was diagnosed with acrania, a fatal condition where the fetus has no skull bones.
Then, 12 weeks pregnant, Ms Cecil was getting her first ultrasound. She attended the appointment alone, so when the doctor told her the fetus was not viable outside the womb, she was left with only asking the doctor what she should do.

their loved ones, and even their wives, to places that perform these procedures. Probably billing it as a junket to Mexico or Europe.

Donald Trump, the MAGA GOP, and the good ol boy KKangaroo Kourts of the 5th Circuit and the SC for this.
TAKING US BACK to the stone ages. We're one fucking MAGA ruling away from blood-lettings and inquisitions.
