First Day

 This morning a nurse on TikTok posted about her night in the ER. A woman came in with an ectopic pregnancy. They were in a state where a trigger law had already gone into effect. The doctor was on the phone with his lawyer. The woman's ectopic ruptured. She didn't get treatment for nine hours, while the doctor was on the phone with his lawyer. Her abdomen was filled with blood. 

First day. 

I had an argument with someone about whether they would try to make ectopics illegal. Her position was that it was a lifesaving medical procedure and doctors wouldn't allow it to be blocked. Mine was that this isn't happening in an environment of wisdom. I had already listened to legislators argue that the "babies" in ectopic pregnancies had a right to life. 

 Here we go.
