Miscarriage/Abortion & Election

It’s up to the states. This is not the scenario where I live.
@Kelsea why would you be induced instead of having a c-section in this case?
Did your mother have a TFMR at 8 months? Or had the baby just passed away? Because had the baby just passed away the exact same scenario would happen now. I'm not from the US but from my understanding on everything I've read even if Kamala got elected it wouldn't change anything regarding each states abortion laws
@Grayson yes typically they would induce first. What the poster is saying is false information. No one is leaving a dead baby inside a mother. If a baby dies inside the womb the baby would be delivered. There seems to be a lot of misinformation about this topic.
@Grayson Inductions are done for stillbirths for some of the same reasons inductions are done for living pregnancies - lower risk of severe hemorrhage, infection, and other surgical complications for mom
@Grayson I heard they deliver stillborn babies so that the mother won't have a c-section scar that serves as a constant physical/visual reminder of what happened.
But I imagine elective c sections are available??
If this happened today it’d be the same outcome - she would be induced to birth a stillborn. And a rainbow baby is a baby you have after a miscarriage, not one that has died in the womb. Also trump can’t do anything else about abortion at his point and Harris wouldn’t have been able to either, it’d be in congress.
