Women Conscripted to Work<\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\n

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez claimed that abortion should be treated as an economic issue. She feels that if women are forced to complete their pregnancy and have children, they would have a bigger need to work so that they could have the financial resources to raise those children. By her reasoning, this reality is a form of economic conscription. She appeared to take swipes at men when she said that it was disappointing to hear the opinion of someone who never had to deal with having a child.<\/p>\n

From Fox News:<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

“Forcing poor and working-class people to give birth against their will, against their consent, against their ability to provide for themselves or a child, is a profound economic issue and it\u2019s certainly a way to keep a workforce basically conscripted to large-scale employers and to employers to work more against their will, to take second and third jobs against their desire and their own autonomy,” she said.<\/p>\n

Ocasio-Cortez was responding to comments from Rep. Jake LaTurner, R-Kan., who criticized Democrats for focusing on abortion instead of economic issues like inflation and energy policy.<\/p>\n

She said it\u2019s “disappointing” to hear that point of view from someone who has “never had to contend” with bearing a child, and said abortion is a “profound and central economic and class issue.”<\/p>\n

Ocasio-Cortez also replied to another Republican lawmaker who sparred with a Democratic witness when he asked whether biological men can get pregnant. The witness, a doctor who is director of trans care for Planned Parenthood, said men “can have pregnancies, especially trans men.”<\/p>\n

Rep. Andrew Clyde, R-Ga., argued back that “men cannot get pregnant,” and asked why Democrats would call up a director of trans care to the hearing.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez uses Intrauterine Device<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez argued that since the Republicans forced a specific conversation, she would “meet them to it”. She admitted to using an intrauterine device (IUD). The failure of this device may result in ectopic pregnancies. By extension, the need for an abortion. Cortez proceeded to ask a witness what would happen if this occurred in a state where abortion is not legal with the exception of the woman’s life being in danger.<\/p>\n

From Fox News:<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

“I, for example, since Republicans are forcing this conversation in uncomfortable ways, then I will meet them to it,” Ocasio-Cortez said. “I have an IUD. I\u2019ve had one for years.”<\/p>\n

The congresswoman then discussed the possibility of ectopic pregnancies when IUDs fail to work and asked witness Dr. Bhavik Kumar about what would happen in such a case in a state that has outlawed abortions except when a woman’s life is in danger.<\/p>\n

“Would that mean that if I were hospitalized in these states, you would have to wait until I was in the process \u2014 potentially \u2014 of actively dying before you could effectively treat me and my or anyone in our position\u2019s life?” Ocasio-Cortez asked.<\/p>\n

“To date, and to my knowledge, there are no laws that outlaw care for ectopic pregnancies,” said Kumar, who is the medical director for primary and trans care at Planned Parenthood Gulf Coast.<\/p>\n

Misinformation about not treating ectopic pregnancies spread on the internet after some states banned abortion in the wake of the Supreme Court’s decision in Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization. Some claimed that women in those states could not legally get abortions until they were about to die. Kumar set the record straight by saying this was not the case, but claimed that there have been difficult situations due to confused doctors.<\/p>\n

“What we\u2019ve seen in Texas \u2014 because these laws are written by politicians and sometimes don\u2019t make sense and are difficult to grapple with and understand by physicians who are practicing medicine \u2014 we have seen people denied access to that care and have actually seen somebody in Texas who left the state to get care for her ectopic pregnancy,” Kumar said.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
