This is true. A loved one faced with a fetus that was already dead had excellent support when she chose induction. She would have had nothing if she'd chosen a D&E. She wouldn't have been allowed to see the remains. Women should not be coerced into labor.
Finally, the hospital informs you that if you go through with the birth, they’ll provide you with therapy, financial help and remembrances like ultrasound pictures and a teddy bear with your baby’s name embroidered on it. You’ll get no such mementos if you end the pregnancy.

@philipcball Thanks for making the limitations so clear. I'm curious how you view ISSCR guidelines. Did your editor choose the headline "synthetic human embryos"? (I know a lot of publications ran with "synthetic embryos")

A forced birth is a form of sexual violence. Pregnant people are traveling as far as a thousand miles and more to escape that violence. This is the state of human rights in the US for those in female bodies.

A state government demanding medical records so it can go after those it deems deviant. This isn't a slide toward fascism - we're in it now.
WATCH: “It really does feel like a betrayal by a friend.” A mom whose daughter received the “lifeline” of gender-affirming care at Vandy says @VUMChealth giving their medical info to the partisan @AGTennessee hurts because they trusted Vandy. PODCAST:
