Ngo-Okthobha u-12, uSenator wase-Michigan u-Gary Peters waba lilungu lokuqala le-senator kwimbali yase-Melika ukuba babelane esidlangalaleni ngamava abo ngokukhupha isisu.

Kudliwanondlebe olwenziwe mhlaba kunye Elle, UPeter, onguMdemokhrasi okwangoku okonyulwa kwakhona, uxelele ibali lomfazi wakhe wokuqala, ukukhupha isisu kukaHeidi ngeminyaka yoo-1980- ngamava "abuhlungu nantlungu" angathethekiyo, uHeidi ngokwakhe wathi kwingxelo Elle.

Ebalisa amava kwiphephancwadi, uPeter wathi uHeidi wayeneenyanga ezine ekhulelwe (kwitrimester yakhe yesibini) xa amanzi akhe aqhekeka ngesiquphe, eshiya usana olungekazalwa - kwaye, kungekudala emva koko, uHeidi- kwimeko enobungozi. Ngaphandle kwe-amniotic fluid, umntwana ongekazalwa ngekhe akwazi ukuphila, utshilo uPeters Elle. Ngoko ke, ugqirha wabaxelela ukuba bagoduke baze “balinde ukuphunyelwa sisisu ngokwemvelo,” watsho uPeters.

Kodwa uHeidi akazange aphume isisu. Xa yena noPeter babuyela esibhedlele ngosuku olulandelayo ukuze bafumane izikhokelo ezingakumbi, ugqirha wabo wacebisa ukuba kuqhoshwe ngenxa yokuba umntwana ebengekabinalo ithuba lokuphila, ngokwengxelo kaPeter. Elle. Phezu kwawo nje elo cebiso, isibhedlele sasinomgaqo-nkqubo owawusalela ukuqhomfa. Ngoko, ugqirha wayengenayo enye indlela ngaphandle kokuthumela uHeidi noPeters ekhaya kwakhona ukuze balinde ukuphunyelwa sisisu kwemvelo.

Ngomso olandelayo, uHeidi wayesengaphumanga, kwaye impilo yakhe yayiwohloka ngokukhawuleza, utshilo uPeter Elle. Babuyela esibhedlele kwakhona, kwaye ugqirha wathi ukuba uHeidi akazange akhuphe isisu ASAP - kanye inkqubo ugqirha wakhe wamxelela ukuba wayenqatshelwe ukwenza - wayenokulahlekelwa sisibeleko sakhe. Okanye, ukuba unokufumana usulelo lwe-uterine, angabulawa yi-sepsis (impendulo yomzimba egqithileyo kusulelo olunokukhokelela ngokukhawuleza ekonakaleni kwethishu, ukusilela komzimba kunye nokufa).

Ekubeni ngoku ubomi bukaHeidi busesichengeni, ugqirha wabo wabhenela kwibhodi yesi sibhedlele ukuba ikhethe ukuvala umgaqo wabo wokuvala ukuqhomfa. Isibheno saliwe, uPeter uxelele Elle. “Ndisakhumbula ngokucacileyo ukuba washiya umyalezo kumatshini wokuphendula esithi, ‘Banqabile ukundinika imvume, engasekelwanga kunyango olulungileyo, olusekelwe nje kwezobupolitika. Ndicebisa ukuba ufumane omnye ugqirha onokukhawuleza enze le nkqubo, ’” kukhumbula uPeter.

Ngethamsanqa, uHeidi wakwazi ukufumana unyango olusindisa ubomi kwesinye isibhedlele kuba yena noPeter babengabahlobo nomphathi oyintloko wesibonelelo, iphephancwadi labika. "Ukuba bekungekho ngononophelo olungxamisekileyo nolubalulekileyo, ngendaphulukana nobomi bam," watsho uHeidi.

Ke, kutheni uPeter esabela eli bali ngoku, phantse kumashumi amane eminyaka kamva? “Kubalulekile ukuba abantu baqonde ukuba ezi zinto zenzeka mihla le ebantwini,” utshilo Elle. "Bendihlala ndizithatha njengokhetha ukhetho kwaye ndikholelwa ekubeni abantu basetyhini kufuneka bakwazi ukwenza ezi zigqibo ngokwabo, kodwa xa uphila ubomi bokwenyani, uyayiqonda impembelelo ebalulekileyo enokuba nayo kusapho."

UPeters uthe naye waziva enyanzelekile ukuba abelane ngeli bali ngoku kuba iSenethi ngoku ivavanya umtyunjwa weNkundla ePhakamileyo uDonald Trump, uJaji Amy Coney Barrett, oza kungena endaweni yongasekhoyo uJustice Ruth Bader Ginsburg. U-Barrett, umtyunjwa ozigcineleyo, utyikitye igama lakhe kwiintengiso ezininzi ezichasene nokuqhomfa, kwaye ubizwa ngokuba ngu Roe v. Wade, isigqibo esibalulekileyo esivumele ngokusemthethweni ukukhupha isisu e-U.S ngo-1973, "ubuqaba."

Konke oku kuthetha ukuba, ukuba uBarrett uqinisekisiwe ukuba azalise isihlalo se-RBG, unokubhukuqa Roe v. Wade okanye, ubuncinane, ukunciphisa kakhulu ukufikelela kwiinkonzo zokuqhomfa (sele zilinganiselwe) - izigqibo "eziya kuba nemiphumo emikhulu impilo yokuzala kwabasetyhini kumashumi eminyaka ezayo,” utshilo uPeters Elle. Eli lixesha elibalulekileyo kwinkululeko yokuzala.

Kwingxelo eyaUbume, UJulie McClain Downey, umlawuli ophezulu wezonxibelelwano kwi-Planned Parenthood Action Fund (PPAF), uthe i-PPAF "inombulelo" ukuba uSenator Peters wakhetha ukwabelana ngebali lentsapho yakhe. "Ngaphandle kwamathandabuzo inamandla into yokuba mhla iNdlu yeeNgwevu yaqala ukuxoxwa komntu otyunjiweyo kwiNkundla ePhakamileyo kwi-Roe v. Wade, uGary Peters wabelana ngamava osapho lwakhe ngokunzulu ngokukhupha isisu," utshilo uMcClain Downey. "Ibali lakhe ngumzekelo ocacileyo wendlela ebalulekileyo yokufikelela ekukhupheni isisu. Akwanelanga ukuba sikhusele ukukhupha isisu ngokusemthethweni ngokukhusela uRoe v. Wade, kodwa yonke intsapho ifanelwe ukufikelela kukhathalelo lokukhupha isisu xa luyifuna - kungakhathaliseki ukuba ngubani okanye phi. bahlala. Ubomi buxhomekeke kuyo. "

USenator Peters ungomnye wamalungu ambalwa kakhulu eCongress athe abelana esidlangalaleni ngamava abo ngokukhupha isisu; abanye babandakanya Abameli beNdlu yeDemokhrasi uJackie Speier waseCalifornia kunye noPramila Jayapal waseWashington. U-Peters ayingosenenja wokuqala e-US ukuba abelane ngebali elinjalo, kodwa ngokucacileyo, ubonakala elilungu lokuqala leCongress ukwenza oko.

Ngethamsanqa, nangona kunjalo, uSenator Peters ayisiyiyo kuphela indoda ekwiofisi yoluntu ukuxhasa ngokuphandle ilungelo lomfazi lokukhetha. Owayesakuba ngusodolophu weSouth Bend uPete Buttigieg, umzekelo, wenze amagagasi kumajelo onxibelelwano kule veki ngesitetimenti esinamandla awasinikayo malunga nokuqhomfa “emva kwexesha” ngo-2019. ukuqhomfa, kodwa akukho nkcazelo yezonyango okanye esemthethweni yeli gama. "Ibinzana elithi 'ukukhupha isisu emva kwexesha' alichanekanga kwezonyango kwaye alinantsingiselo yeklinikhi," utshilo uBarbara Levy, MD, usekela mongameli womgaqo-nkqubo wezempilo e-American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists (ACOG). CNN Kwinzululwazi nakwezonyango, kubalulekile ukusebenzisa ulwimi ngokuchanekileyo. Ekukhulelweni, ukuba ‘lixesha lasemva kwexesha’ kuthetha ukuba kudlule iiveki ezingama-41 zokumitha, okanye kudlule umhla omiselweyo wesigulana. Ukuqhomfa akwenzeki ngeli xesha, ke eli binzana liyaphikisana. ”

Ngokwenyani, ukukhupha isisu kuhlala kwenzeka kwasekuqaleni xa ukhulelwe. Ngo-2016, iipesenti ezingama-91 zokukhupha isisu e-US zenziwa okanye ngaphambi kweeveki ezili-13 zokukhulelwa (i-trimester yokuqala), ngokwe-Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). Okwangoku, kwakuloo nyaka mnye, iipesenti ezisi-7 zokukhupha isisu zenziwa phakathi kweeveki ezili-14 ukuya kwezingama-20 zokukhulelwa (kwinyanga yesibini yesibini), kunye neepesenti ezi-1.2 zokukhupha isisu ezenziwa kwiiveki ezingama-21 okanye kamva (emva kwekota yesibini yesibini okanye ekuqaleni kwesithathu) , Ngokutsho kwe-CDC.

Kwikliphu esandul' ukuvela kumsitho weholo yedolophu ka-2019 yeFox, u-Buttigieg, owayengumongameli weDemokhrasi ngelo xesha, wabuzwa ukuba kufuneka kubekho imida kwilungelo lomfazi lokuqhomfa, nokuba lithini na inqanaba lokukhulelwa. Uphendule wathi: “Ndicinga ukuba incoko yababini ibambeke kakhulu apho ukrwela khona umgca kangangokuba siye sawushiya umbuzo osisiseko wokuba ngubani oza kukrwela umgca, kwaye ndiyathemba ukuba abasetyhini bazakuzoba umgca xa iyimpilo yabo. .” (Idibeneyo: Ndifunde njani ukuthemba umzimba wam kwakhona emva kokutshata)

Xa u-Buttigieg wayecinezelwe kwinani labasetyhini abakhupha isisu kwi-trimester yesithathu, waphawula ukuba iimeko ezinjalo zinqabile kakhulu kwizinga lokuqhomfa e-US "Masizibeke kwizihlangu zomfazi okuloo meko," wongeze watsho. I-Buttigieg. "Ukuba liphele ixesha lokukhulelwa kwakho, ke phantse ngokwenkcazo, ubulindele ukuyihambisa kwikota. Sithetha ngabasetyhini abaye mhlawumbi bakhetha igama. Abafazi abathenge ibhedi, iintsapho ezithi ke zifumane ezona ndaba zibuhlungu zezempilo kubomi babo bonke, into ethile malunga nempilo okanye ubomi bukamama okanye ubukho bokukhulelwa obanyanzela ukuba benze ukhetho olungenakwenzeka, nolungenakucingelwa.”

Nangona olo khetho lulusizi, u-Buttigieg uqhubeke wathi, "eso sigqibo asizukuphuculwa, kwezonyango okanye kwezokuziphatha, kuba urhulumente uyalela ukuba masenziwe njani eso sigqibo."

Inyaniso kukuba, phantse omnye kwabasetyhini abane e-US uya kukhupha isisu ebomini bakhe, ngokutsho kweGuttmacher Institute, umbutho wophando kunye nomgaqo-nkqubo ozinikele ekuqhubeleni phambili impilo yezesondo kunye nokuzala kunye namalungelo. Oku kuthi izigidi Abantu baseMelika bayamazi umntu okhuphe isisu, okanye banaso.

"Kungokwabelana ngala mabali, indlela uSenator Peters kunye nowayesakuba ngumfazi wakhe benze ngayo ngokuncomekayo, apho siza kuzisa ubuntu, uvelwano, kunye nokuqonda kule nkonzo yesiqhelo, yokhathalelo lwempilo," utshilo uMcClain Downey.
