.AOC says men behind 'heartbeat' bills 'don't know the first thing about a woman's body'
As yet another"heartbeat bill" banning abortion after six weeks of pregnancy was passed, this time in Georgia, New York Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez slammed the"men writing these bills" for failing to show a basic understanding of how women's bodies work.
Noting that it is "relatively common for a woman to have a late period and not be pregnant," the Congresswoman explained that by the six-week mark, many women will only be around two weeks late on their period and may not have even considered the possibility of pregnancy by that point."For context, this kicks in within days of a typical at-home test working," she continued.
As Britain's National Health Service notes on its website,"there are many reasons why a woman may miss her usual monthly period, or why periods might stop altogether" outside of pregnancy. "Periods can also sometimes stop as a result of a long-term medical condition, such as heart disease, uncontrollable diabetes, an overactive thyroid, or premature menopause," the health service states.
As a result, Smith said,"even for women who find out they're pregnant before six weeks, it would be nearly impossible to get an abortion before the cutoff." "But, the composition of the court has changed many times in the 46 years since Roe, and the Supreme Court has continuously reaffirmed that women have the right to decide to have an abortion," Smith said.
