The false promise of abortion exceptions

BarbraUnited States, , ,
"When Jessica Bernardo found out she was pregnant, it was reason to celebrate. Bernardo and her husband had struggled for two years to conceive, and when their fetus was diagnosed with Down syndrome, they continued to celebrate, naming her Emma, which means “whole.” Emma’s health continued to deteriorate until it became clear she would not survive birth. Bernardo, too, was at risk—she was in danger of developing mirror syndrome, a rare condition in which the fetus has an abnormal buildup of fluid, and the pregnant person has high blood pressure, or preeclampsia.

MollyInternational, , ,
"Victoria Satchwell was desperate when she called the fifth pharmacist asking them to dispense abortion pills for an almost 10-week pregnant client. The woman is a 19-year-old rape victim living in Vredefort, a small farming town in the Free State. Over two days, Satchwell’s team spoke to four pharmacists and they all refused to dispense.
