I am just getting sick of people using these dying mothers as a “See, you get what you deserve” argument to take the holier-than-thou stance against these oppressive governments

Oh, to be clear: fuck that stance. The whole sentiment around "Oh, well you voted for Trump to oppress you, so you deserve to be oppressed" is gross. I certainly hope people who voted for these policies learn, and to that end, I moderate !leopardsatemyface@lemmy.world, but short of the leopards turning on themselves and getting their own faces eaten, I think we need to equally adamantly support the rights of these people who did vote for their own oppression. (Moreover, those who assume someone voted for this or failed to vote just because they're from a certain state is something I've actually seen, and that's just asinine.)

That said, comparing OB-GYNs who studied to help women who are now being thrust into this dilemma to camp guards who – I cannot emphasize this enough – volunteered to be there with the express and sole purpose of imprisoning and killing marginalized groups such as Jews is not at all comparable and demonstrates an extreme degree of black-and-white thinking.
