Ngomhla ziyi-12 kuMfumfu, uSenator waseMichigan uGary Peters waba yilungu lephalamende lokuqala emlandweni waseMelika ukwabelana esidlangalaleni ngolwazi lwakhe lokukhipha isisu.

Engxoxweni eyaqalwa phansi no Elle, uPeters, iDemocrat osekumele aqokwe kabusha, uxoxe ngendaba yomkakhe wokuqala, ukukhishwa kwesisu kukaHeidi ngawo-1980s - isipiliyoni "esibuhlungu nesihlukumezayo" ngokungacabangeki, kusho uHeidi uqobo esitatimendeni sakhe. Elle.

Elandisa ngokuhlangenwe nakho kwalo magazini, uPeters wathi uHeidi wayesenezinyanga ezicishe zibe ezine ekhulelwe (ku-trimester yakhe yesibili) lapho amanzi akhe ephuka ngokuzumayo, eshiya umbungu—futhi, ngemva nje kwalokho, uHeidi—esesimweni esiyingozi. Ngaphandle kwe-amniotic fluid, umbungu ubungeke ukwazi ukuphila, kusho uPeters Elle. Ngakho, udokotela wabatshela ukuthi bagoduke futhi “balinde ukuphuphunyelwa yisisu kuzenzekele,” kuchaza uPeters.

Kodwa uHeidi akazange aphuphunyelwe yisisu. Ngenkathi yena noPeters bebuyela esibhedlela ngosuku olulandelayo ukuthola ukuholwa okwengeziwe, udokotela wabo wancoma ukukhipha isisu ngoba umbungu wawungenalo ithuba lokusinda, ngokwe-akhawunti kaPeters Elle. Yize kunaleso sincomo, isibhedlela sasinenqubomgomo evimbela ukukhishwa kwezisu.

Ngakusasa, uHeidi wayengakaphuphumi isisu, futhi impilo yakhe yayiwohloka ngokushesha, kusho uPeters. Elle. Babuyela esibhedlela futhi, futhi udokotela wathi uma uHeidi engazange asikhiphe isisu i-ASAP - yona kanye inqubo udokotela wakhe amtshela ngayo ukuthi uvinjelwe ukwenza - angalahlekelwa yisibeletho sakhe. Noma, uma eba nokutheleleka kwesibeletho, angafa nge-sepsis (impendulo eyedlulele yomzimba ekuthelelekeni okungaholela ngokushesha ekulimaleni kwezicubu, ukwehluleka komzimba nokufa).

Njengoba ukuphila kukaHeidi manje kusengcupheni, udokotela wabo wanxusa ibhodi lesibhedlela ukuba likhiphe umthetho walo ovimbela ukukhipha isisu. Isikhalazo senqatshiwe, kusho uPeters Elle. "Ngisakhumbula kahle ukuthi washiya umyalezo emshinini wokuphendula ethi, 'Benqabile ukunginikeza imvume, hhayi ngokusekelwe kukwelashwa okuhle, okuncike nje kwezepolitiki. Ngincoma ukuthi uthole ngokushesha omunye udokotela ongenza le nqubo ngokushesha,’” kukhumbula uPeters.

Ngenhlanhla, uHeidi ukwazile ukwelashwa okusindisa impilo kwesinye isibhedlela ngoba yena noPeters bebengabangani nomphathi omkhulu walesi sikhungo, kubika lo magazini. "Ukube bekungekhona ukwelashwa okuphuthumayo nokubucayi, bengingalahlekelwa yimpilo yami," kusho uHeidi.

Ngakho-ke, kungani uPeters abelana ngale ndaba manje, cishe eminyakeni engamashumi amane kamuva? "Kubalulekile ukuthi abantu baqonde ukuthi lezi zinto zenzeka kubantu nsuku zonke," etshela Elle. "Bengihlala ngizibheka njengabantu abakhethayo futhi ngikholelwa ukuthi abantu besifazane kumele bakwazi ukuzithathela lezi zinqumo, kepha uma uphila empilweni yangempela, uyawubona umthelela omkhulu ongaba nawo emndenini."

UPeters uthe uzizwe ephoqelekile ukuthi abelane ngalolu daba manje ngoba iSenate njengamanje ihlolisisa okhethwe nguMongameli uDonald Trump waseNkantolo Ephakeme, iJaji u-Amy Coney Barrett, ozongena esikhundleni sikaJustice Ruth Bader Ginsburg ongasekho. U-Barrett, oqokwe njengongaguquki, usayine igama lakhe ezikhangisweni eziningi ezimelene nokukhishwa kwezisu, futhi ubize ngokuthi Roe v. Wade, isinqumo esiyingqopha-mlando esagunyaza ukuhushulwa kwezisu ngokusemthethweni e-U.S. ngo-1973, “ubuqaba.”

Lokhu kusho ukuthi, uma uBarrett eqinisekiswa ukugcwalisa isihlalo se-RBG, angaguqula uRoe v. Wade noma, okungenani, anciphise kakhulu ukufinyelela kuzinsizakalo (esezikhawulelwe) zokukhipha isisu - izinqumo "ezizoba nezinzuzo ezinkulu impilo yokuzala yabesifazane emashumini eminyaka ezayo, ”kusho uPeters Elle. "Lesi yisikhathi esibaluleke kakhulu senkululeko yokuzala." (Okuhlobene: Kungani Amanani Okukhipha Isisu Engaphansi Kunawo Wonke Selokhu Kwabakhona uRoe v. Wade)

Esitatimendeni kuUmumo, UJulie McClain Downey, umqondisi omkhulu wezokuxhumana kwiPlanned Parenthood Action Fund (PPAF), uthe iPPAF "iyabonga" ngokuthi uSenator uPeter wakhetha ukuxoxa indaba yomndeni wakhe. "Akungabazeki ukuthi kunamandla ukuthi usuku iSigele eqale ngalo ukuqulwa kwecala lomuntu oqokwe eNkantolo Ephakeme owayephikisana no-Roe v. Wade, uGary Peters wabelane ngokuhlangenwe nakho okujulile komndeni wakhe ngokukhipha isisu," kusho uMcClain Downey. "Indaba yakhe iyisibonelo esicacile sokuthi ukutholakala kwesisu kubaluleke kangakanani. Akwanele ukuthi sivikela isisu ngokusemthethweni ngokuvikela uRoe v. Wade, kodwa yonke imindeni ifanelwe ukuthola ukunakekelwa kwezisu lapho ikudinga - noma ngabe bangobani noma kuphi bahlala. Impilo incike kuyo. "

USenator Peters ungomunye wamalungu ambalwa kaKhongolose abelane esidlangalaleni ngolwazi lwabo ngokukhipha isisu; abanye bahlanganisa Abamele iDemocratic House uJackie Speier waseCalifornia kanye noPramila Jayapal waseWashington. U-Peters akayena nje u-senenja wokuqala ohlezi e-US ukwabelana ngendaba enjalo, kodwa ngokusobala, ubonakala eyilungu lokuqala leCongress ukwenza lokho.

Ngenhlanhla, nokho, uSenator Peters akuyena yedwa owesilisa osehhovisi lomphakathi ukweseka ngokusobala ilungelo lowesifazane lokuzikhethela. Ngokwesibonelo, lowo owayeyiMeya yaseNingizimu Bend uPete Buttigieg, wenza amagagasi ezinkundleni zokuxhumana kuleli sonto ngesitatimende esinamandla asinikeza mayelana nokuhushulwa kwezisu “sekwephuzile” ngo-2019. I-ICYDK, “ukuhushula isisu” ibinzana elivame ukusetshenziswa ngabameleli abamelene nezisu. abashisekeli bokukhipha izisu, kodwa ayikho incazelo enembile yezokwelapha noma engokomthetho yaleli gama. "Inkulumo ethi 'ukukhipha isisu sekwedlule isikhathi' ayilona iqiniso futhi ayinayo nencazelo emtholampilo," kusho uBarbara Levy, MD, usekela mongameli wenqubomgomo yezempilo e-American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists (ACOG). I-CNN ngo-2019. “Kwezesayensi nakwezokwelapha, kubalulekile ukusebenzisa ulimi ngokunembile. Ekukhulelweni, ukuba 'sekwephuzile' kusho ukuba sesikhathini sokudlula samasonto angama-41 edlule, noma ukudlula usuku olubekiwe lwesiguli. Ukukhishwa kwezisu akwenzeki ngalesi sikhathi, ngakho-ke le nkulumo iyaphikisana. ”

Eqinisweni, ukukhishwa kwezisu ngokuvamile kwenzeka ngaphambi kwesikhathi lapho ukhulelwe. Ngo-2016, amaphesenti angama-91 okukhipha izisu e-U.S. Kwenziwa ngaphambi noma emasontweni ayi-13 ekhulelwe (i-trimester yokuqala), ngokusho kweCenters for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). Okwamanje, ngawo lowo nyaka, amaphesenti angu-7.7 kuphela okukhishwa kwezisu enziwa phakathi kwamasonto ayi-14 kuya kwangama-20 ekhulelwe (i-trimester yesibili), kanti amaphesenti angu-1.2 kuphela okukhishwa kwezisu enziwa emavikini angama-21 noma kamuva (ngasekupheleni kwesibili noma ekuqaleni kwesithathu) , Ngokwe-CDC.

Esiqeshaneni esisanda kuvela emcimbini wehholo ledolobha le-Fox News ka-2019, u-Buttigieg, owayengumongameli weDemocratic Alliance ngaleso sikhathi, wabuzwa ukuthi ngabe kufanele yini kube nemingcele yelungelo lowesifazane lokukhipha isisu, kungakhathalekile ukuthi yisiphi isigaba sokukhulelwa. Uphendule wathi: “Ngicabanga ukuthi inkhulumomphendvulwano isibambeke kakhulu lapho udweba khona umugqa kangangoba sesiqhelelene nombuzo obalulekile wokuthi ubani ozodweba umugqa, futhi ngiyathemba abesifazane ukuthi bazodweba umugqa uma kuyimpilo yabo. . ” (Related: Indlela Engafunda Ngayo Ukuthemba Umzimba Wami Futhi Ngemva Kokuphuphunyelwa Kwesisu)

Ngenkathi uButtigieg ecindezelwa ngenani labesifazane abakhipha izisu ku-trimester yesithathu, waphawula ukuthi amacala anjalo ayivelakancane kakhulu kwizinga eliphelele lokukhishwa kwezisu e-US “Ake sizibeke ezicathulweni zowesifazane kuleso simo,” wanezela I-Buttigieg. “Uma ngabe sekwephuze kangaka ekukhulelweni kwakho, khona-ke cishe ngokwencazelo, ubulindele ukuthi uzokuyisa esikhathini. Sikhuluma ngabesifazane mhlawumbe abakhethe igama. Abesifazane abathenga umbhede wokulala, imindeni ethola izindaba zezokwelapha ezihlukumeza kakhulu empilweni yabo, okuthile ngempilo noma ngempilo kamama noma ukusebenza kokukhulelwa okubaphoqa ukuba benze ukhetho olungenakwenzeka, olungacabangeki. ”

Yize leso sinqumo sibi, uButtigieg uqhubeke wathi, "leso sinqumo ngeke senziwe ngcono, ngokwezokwelapha noma ngokuziphatha, ngoba uhulumeni uyaphoqa ukuthi leso sinqumo kufanele sithathwe kanjani."

Iqiniso liwukuthi, cishe owesifazane oyedwa kwabane e-U.S. uzokhipha isisu empilweni yakhe, ngokusho kwe-Guttmacher Institute, inhlangano yocwaningo nenqubomgomo ezibophezele ekuthuthukiseni impilo namalungelo ocansi nokuzala. Kusho ukuthi izigidi AbaseMelika bazi umuntu oke wakhipha isisu, noma bake basikhipha bona.

"Kungokwabelana nje lezo zindaba, ngendlela uSenator Peters nowayengunkosikazi wakhe abenza kahle ngayo, lapho sizoletha ubuntu, ukuzwelana, kanye nokuqonda kule nsizakalo ejwayelekile, yezempilo," kusho uMcClain Downey.
