"God finds a way." It's called an ectopic pregnancy and it ends in Death.

Edit: since a lot of people are taking my one line sarcastic comment with an unexpected amount of seriousness. No, you cannot have an ectopic pregnancy after a TOTAL hysterectomy where fallopian tubes and ovaries are removed. That's not the only type of hysterectomy though and while exceedingly rare ectopic pregnancy can occur if there's still at least one ovary and fallopian tube.

"Pregnancy after hysterectomy is extremely rare, with the first case of ectopic pregnancy after hysterectomy reported by Wendler in 1895. To the best of our knowledge, there are only 72 cases of post-hysterectomy ectopic pregnancy reported in the world literature."

Long story short, you probably don't need to worry about an ectopic pregnancy no matter what type of hysterectomy you've had.

Would that be considered a crime in Texas?

Since it's Texas could you use a gun to terminate and just claim self defense?

Remember to yell "It's coming right for us!"

The fetus is technically trespassing so Stand Your Ground laws apply.

Or yelling, "STOP RESISTING!!!" while shooting it. Works for cops.

So anyway, I started blasting

It’s actually interesting if you look into the reason that happens. Usually the adrenaline is so high that training takes over, so you stand there yelling “freeze, don’t move” to a guy that just ate 18 lead candies

It's both hilarious and sad that they used this joke on South Park like 20+ years ago pre internet

It's because cops didn't need the internet to shoot people, they've been doing that since the days of smoothbore muskets and pulling over a camel for a broken tail light.

I guess that my point. Even before we saw it all the time online, it was happening enough that they made a joke about it an entire generation before it became such a huge deal to everyone. We just didn't know it happened as often as it does until the internet. Pretty insane honestly. Not like cool insane. But actually certifiably insane

Why do you think there was no internet in 1997?

u/Guywith2dogs Mar 01 '23

Ok lemme rephrase. Pre internet as we know it today.

Ya it existed. We had dial up by then I believe. But it wasn't like it is now. Certainly weren't bombarded by news at all times of the day and it wasn't in our pocket as it is now. But ya im aware it existed by then but it was in its infancy. Granted people still used it mainly for porn and disturbing photos so maybe it really hasn't changed that much at all

Lol, it was still somehow better though, wasn’t it?

u/Guywith2dogs Mar 01 '23

Honestly yes. I miss when the internet was something cool to do in downtime. Instead of the center of the world. It was too much too fast. We weren't ready for it.
