Has the medical protocol for induced abortions changed over time? App 30 years ago I found myself very inconveniently pregnant (then husband had left me and our other kids at various times and for varying length of times) and when I sought an abortion was told that 6 weeks gestation is actually more dangerous for the mother than leaving it until 8-10 weeks. Is this still the case? ---

Don’t you mean “a woman might _ **not** _ even know she’s late at six weeks”? And for a 10 year old? C’mon! It’s not like she’s had all that much experience with menstruation in the first place. ---

They never tire of it. It’s like sustenance to the monster living inside of them. Grotesque. ---

As if we needed further proof that all of this “pro-life” crap is really about controlling women, we now have an Ohio rep (a woman, no less!) who is willing to discuss a birth control ban: > **[Ohio state representative says she would consider banning birth control...](https://www.mlive.com/news/2022/07/ohio-state-representative-says-she-would-consider-banning-birth-control.html)** > > State Rep. Jean Schmidt, a Clermont County Republican, said during a radio interview she would entertain a debate about banning birth control.
