The baby is not part of the body of a woman. The umbilical chord and placenta do not directly connect to the woman. The baby floats inside the woman. It is not about the woman’s body, it’s to kill then remove the baby’s body. It is done in greater proportion to black babies.

It's the woman's body being parasitized. If she chooses not to feed a separate body with hers. that's her choice.

So.. what is it connecting to them, hm? The ether?

The fact that this man is on a county council just speaks volumes about what is wrong with the US.

Like, not even agreeing/disagreeing with abortion, but just the total lack of education on subject matter they want to make rules for.

The placenta consists of intertwined fetal and maternal tissues, so, therefore tje fetus is,in fact, actually "attached to the mother,"

So how does the blood get to the embryo or foetus? Is it not blood then? Is the foetus munching away on some kind of secreted nutrient? Is the placenta hoovering up the nutrients the foetus is floating in?

EDIT: Just seen ‘Salt Lake’. A Mormon, then. Why am I not surprised.

It’s not mentioned in the quote, but this guy’s actually a doctor. A dentist, to be precise. So yeah…

Some say no utuerus no opinion. I say if you're education is not good enough for middle school, shut up.

Lay off the laughing gas, please?

The unbelievable cord is literally attached to the mother. Moron.

The placenta is an organ that develops in the uterus during pregnancy. This structure provides oxygen and nutrients to a growing baby. It also removes waste products from the baby's blood. The placenta attaches to the wall of the uterus, and the baby's umbilical cord arises from it.

All I did was google "placenta" and the above was the first response. There is no excuse for this sort of ignorance.

@Chloe #137935

I think you meant to say "umbilical," not "unbelievable!"

He later reacted to the backlash with “My tweet was not a biology lesson but was intended to simply point out that a baby, the umbilical cord, and the placenta are part of a new and developing body, with its own unique DNA and gender, separate from the mother,” (exact quote). People then pointed out that this is a very different usage of the word “separate” than used in his original message.

I wondered if it was on purpose for sarcasm, considering that the OP appeared to be denying the connection/link.

“The umbilical chord and placenta do not directly connect to the woman”

Could you maybe list all the complications that may occur during a pregnancy that could threaten the womwn? Just for grins, you know, if this is not an issue about the woman’s body.
Let’s start with what an ectopic pregnancy is, and why it’s a big-ass deal to a woman’s healthitude. Work our way down from there.

The umbilical chord and placenta do not directly connect to the woman.

That’s at the biology-ignorance level of “If it’s LEGITIMATE rape, she can’t get pregnant! Because her body shuts all that down!”
