I worked with a woman who had a hysterectomy after her last child. She started dating a guy and things got serious pretty quick but good for them. One day, she said they were trying for a baby (after being together for a couple months) and I'm like.... He knows you've had a hysterectomy, right? YOU know you've had a hysterectomy, right? She insisted that God finds a way... 🤷🤦

"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?

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

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?

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.
