Very grumpy Florida medicrats formally identify *three* pregnancy complication treatments that are “not abortion.” Must doctors now assume everything else *is* abortion?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

What does it sound like when gross politics and delusions of unaccountable dictatorship eat a government bureaucrat\u2019s brain?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Well, this is actual<\/strong><\/em> text from a formal \u201cemergency\u201d rule<\/a> (Section IV in link) adopted this week by Florida\u2019s Agency for Health Care Administration (AHCA). Note the parts in bold, particularly the snarling, defensive temper tantrum at the end about being forced to actually govern publicly, even just a little:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Effective May 1, 2024, the Heartbeat Protection Act goes into effect, and a physician may not knowingly perform or induce a termination of pregnancy if the physician determines the gestational age of the unborn baby is more than 6 weeks, except under certain circumstances. Prior to this change in the law, abortions have been permitted up to a gestational age of 15 weeks. Preterm premature rupture of membranes (PPROM), ectopic pregnancy, and molar pregnancy are medical conditions that can occur<\/strong><\/em> when the gestational age of an unborn child is greater than 6 weeks, and can present an immediate danger to the health, safety, and welfare of women and unborn children in hospitals and abortion clinics if immediate and proper care and treatment is not rendered. The Agency finds there is an immediate danger to the health, safety, and welfare of pregnant women and babies due to a deeply dishonest scare campaign and disinformation being perpetuated by the media, the Biden Administration, and advocacy groups to misrepresent the Heartbeat Protection Act and the State\u2019s efforts to protect life, moms, and families. The Agency is initiating rulemaking to safeguard against any immediate harm that could come to pregnant women due to disinformation.<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

Let me translate that last bit for you: How dare you ask us to clarify and govern our own fake beliefs, babykillers? Don\u2019t you know we\u2019re \u201cpro-life\u201d and we have no responsibility for anything? Let\u2019s go Brandon!<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Are PPROM, ectopic pregnancy, and molar pregnancy the *only* conditions for which treatment is \u201cnot abortion\u201d? What about Potter Syndrome and everything else?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

I did not know about these new emergency rules when I sent my request to the Lakeland City Commission to demand Lakeland Regional Health (LRH) identify with comprehensive precision what miscarriage\/pregnancy complications its doctors will treat \u2014 and which they won\u2019t.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Here\u2019s my article about that \u2014 and the Potter Syndrome Mom that LRH forced to give birth to a dead-fetus-gestating last year<\/a>, even though Kelli Stargel said LRH misinterpreted her law.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And here\u2019s a key excerpt from that article:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

[Florida law] says clearly, if you don\u2019t catch the fatal fetal anomaly before 27 weeks, you\u2019re birthing<\/strong><\/em> that dead-fetus-gestating. Moreover, it\u2019s not at all clear that Potter Syndrome, which killed the fetus in question shortly after<\/strong><\/em>birth, qualifies legally as a fatal fetal abnormality. That\u2019s why we need a hard, clear list.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

With great dudgeon, the grumpy, political state medicrats have now finally provided one clear, small list of conditions that allow for pregnancy termination. It stops at just three<\/strong><\/em>, while referring to unnamed \u201cother\u201d conditions. So as a simple list, it reads like this:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
