As someone who chronically doomscrolls abortion news, one set of photos stands above the rest.
Tissue at four weeks looks like a nasty sneeze when you have a cold. At five weeks, it’s a clump of white no bigger than a quarter inch. At seven weeks, it’s still less than half an inch wide. We may not have viral photos, but here in Arizona we have a similar piece of information that cuts through the noise.
The report showed a total of 13,896 abortions in 2021. Of those, 59% of them took place at or before eight weeks. This tells us that in Arizona, most women are trying to get an abortion as soon as they possibly can. About 600 abortions were done for medical reasons impacting the mother or fetus. This is a huge issue under attack in other red states, and could be coming for Arizona. These 600 cases show medical complications from pregnancy do happen, and Arizona women should not be left wondering whether they’ll survive a pregnancy.
