And we were told that our baby wasn't going to survive the pregnancy and that the longer I stayed pregnant, the sicker I could become. And Um, and, you know, that was putting my life and my health at risk. And, you know, we already had a toddler to consider. When we were given basically given a sheet of clinics in nearby states that we could try to call, the sheet was outdated because of all the different changes that were happening. Um, in other states as well as in Idaho, but after spending a couple of days calling clinics and being put on at several places, weeks long waiting list, other places, we were not able to. You know, we were too far along at 20 weeks. And some of the clinics that we called had actually closed down, so it just felt like this really defeating battle that we were up against. But we did have a last minute cancellation, thankfully, for a clinic in Seattle that was able to get us in. I knew I was on I knew I was on a timeline. I knew that, you know, not only you know, the longer I stayed pregnant, the more sick I could become, but I also knew that the longer I stayed pregnant, the harder it would be to access abortion care because I would be further and further along in my pregnancy. So I knew that my options would become more and more limited. And so, you know, I was calling clinics as soon as I got home from the doctors. Office. And it was incredibly challenging because I was, you know, calling abortion clinics and trying to keep myself together, trying to explain my story to them and asking, you know, do you have appointments available? And, you know, so it was really challenging to be making these phone calls while still processing the fact that my baby was going to die. Nobody should have to go through their pregnancy, wondering, how am I going to flee somewhere else? Who is willing to take me and who is willing to provide medical care for me? That shouldn't be even a thought that crosses your mind when you're pregnant, you should just feel like you have confidence, you know, in the state that you live in that you can access proper medical care when needed. We always had it in the back of our minds that something could go wrong and that we would need to access care outside of the state. But even knowing that still doesn't prepare you for when it's actually happening. We're real women with real stories, and this happens to people that you know and love. You know, in addition to sharing those stories and hopefully, you know, that being a compelling reason for somebody to consider maybe their views on abortion. We are hoping to get some clarity on the ways that the laws are written and hopefully some exceptions as to when abortion is allowed in the state, especially in regard to the health of the mother or the health of the fetus. It's really thinking on the broader spectrum of being able to provide adequate health care for Idahoans when they need it within the state of Idaho, not airlifting patients out of the state, not trying to coordinate, you know, travel outside of the state, especially in a case of an emergency, but being able, giving providers and their patients the confidence to proceed with the health care that they know they need. Abortion care is healthcare and that's really the bottom line of this is that a lot of this comes down to, you know, being able to provide patients the care that they need when they need it, where they need it. And that's what's at stake here. We're hoping that, you know, this lawsuit provides better clarity so that physicians do feel comfortable and safe, being able to provide the healthcare options that they know are the most appropriate. I think the stakes are very high for women in the state, whether or not you feel like you would ever choose an abortion or you would make that choice for yourself or your family. It's likely going to affect people that you know and love, and women are becoming sick and women are dying in other states. So this is a very real risk, and this is just, I feel like, you know, just a tiny portion of what needs to change, but I'm hopeful that the case, you know, can do something positive in regard to that. ```json {"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"VideoObject","name":"Idaho Court to Hear from Women Denied Abortions Amid Pregnancy Complications","description":"An Idaho court will hear arguments on Tuesday in a lawsuit over the state’s near-total ban on abortion—one of the strictest laws in the country.\n ","thumbnailUrl":"https://cdn.jwplayer.com/v2/media/fZ9Kswi1/poster.jpg?width=720","uploadDate":"2024-11-11T21:31:49.000Z","contentUrl":"https://cdn.jwplayer.com/manifests/fZ9Kswi1.m3u8","embedUrl":"https://time.com/video/fZ9Kswi1/","duration":"PT6M31S","potentialAction":{"@type":"SeekToAction","target":"https://time.com/video/fZ9Kswi1/?jw_start={seek_to_second_number}","startOffset-input":"required name=seek_to_second_number"}} ```
