An HIV-positive woman is forced to do her own abortion

I’m horrified by this … words fail me. How can someone who has been to medical school be so ignorant about the existence of hygienic practices to protect from exposure to HIV when helping a patient? This is barbaric.

Sounds horrible, then you think of the alternative headline you could read here in the States someday: “A woman is forced to do her own abortion”, or “A woman is forced to deliver her own baby and dies”. You don’t need to have HIV to have this problem if it is legislated against or there are not providers willing to take your case. Don’t think this couldn’t happen in the U.S..

Oh, I get it, you can’t do “it.”

If they refused to help her then what makes you think she could find a doctor to help her prenatally, during delivery or postpartum? The point of the article is to illustrate people with AIDs are ostracized in India. They told her to leave the hospital immediately afterwards. Do you think getting pregnant is all there is to deliverying a healthy baby? Ah, you’re wrong.

Don’t flatter yourself, you can’t type or spell. You assume incorrectly too, I’m a woman.
