On a practical level, and it is odd discussing practical when we are discussing the murder of children....
There is a guy at work now with a tooth abscess. He cannot get it fixed, he’s on pain killers, and has to wait. His life will be hell for the next few months, but it isn’t “life-threatening”. But when it is allowed, he WILL NEED to have this taken care of, it isn’t curing itself.
Meanwhile, the typical woman with a pregnancy will not suffer any serious medical issues, and will not be in any particularly bad pain. And if they do NOT get an abortion during the 9 month “window of opportunity”, the body will self-remove the baby. That process may be painful, although I understand they are considering epidurals as necessary, but I imagine c-sections are not being allowed at this time as a choice, only when necessary....
IN other words, after 9 months, the “medical condition” will cure itself, and the woman will no longer be pregnant.
Abortion is one of the few operations we do that, if you don’t do it, the problem solves itself. In almost every other case, doctors will refuse to do an operation, if the underlying condition is temporary.
A tooth abscess can be life threatening. People used to die from them, or more accurately from complications caused by them, in the olden days.
It’s an infection only a couple inches from your brain, and that can be a problem if left untreated. The lower jaw is less a problem than the upper jaw.
I’m not a dentist, but I once toughed my way through a vacation with an abscessed tooth, so I did some research. By the time I got home I could barely open my mouth and I looked like I had half a peach between my cheek and gum. When I finally got the tooth pulled the relief was immediate and I was so happy I almost cried.
No reason things like this should be happening in 21st-century America. Doesn’t seem like dentists spend a lot of time treating viral infections.
