Joni Albrecht of Thurston has pushed to make sure the pledge of allegiance is recited in the beginning of the legislative session.
I used to be dismayed to see Sen. Joni Albrecht repeat the parable about ectopic pregnancies (“Local View: Wording oversimplifies issue,” April 28) that was extensively bandied about in the course of the debate about Ohio’s misguided anti-choice invoice final 12 months.
No, embryos which have implanted ectopically in a Fallopian tube can’t be eliminated and re-implanted. One can write a legislation that purports to power physicians to aim this; one can’t repeal the legal guidelines of nature.
To cite the British Medical Journal, “We do not need the expertise to transplant a creating being pregnant from the Fallopian tube, the place nearly all of ectopics implant, and reimplant the being pregnant within the uterus.”
And, “Rhetoric that inaccurately asserts one thing may have been achieved to avoid wasting the being pregnant could also be traumatising to sufferers who appropriately selected interventions that saved their lives.”
Disgrace on Senator Albrecht for this!
