She didn't "die", that implies this was an unfortunate accident or that she just got sick or something.
She was murdered by the Republican Gendercide
Punishing unwed, independent mothers is the plan.
The nth child killed by the prolife party
Can we start naming them like we did with Black people murdered by police? Don't forget their names.
Death after death after death. The GOP death cult is doing its job.
I have been saying anti-abortion instead of pro-life. But I feel like there must be another simply-expressed term to reflect their thinking. Something along the lines of anti-women or just anti-choice. I dunno.
It's absolutely anti-choice. The party of small government (except when it comes to controlling people).
Absolutely horrifying.
The second ER diagnosed her with sepsis and then sent her home because her fetus had a heartbeat.
I'm disgusted. If you are a woman, you need to get the fuck out of these death trap states. It is not safe for you there.
The second ER diagnosed her with sepsis and then sent her home
That right there should be criminal charges. Pregnancy staus is irrelevant at that point. Sepsis will kill you if untreated.
It was the politicians in Texas that harmed this woman. Not the hospital. The Texas AG sent letters to every hospital in Texas saying he would press criminal charges to anyone granting an emergency abortion. As hard as it is for poor and middle class workers, there's no way any nurse doctor or hospital is going to put themselves in front of the Texas government. If they could they would have left the state already. (many have.) Small towns in forced birth States literally have no pregnancy care facilities because the staff has all left.
Stop saying "died" - Another woman was MURDERED by ignorant texas bigots in their government and spiteful, irresponsible, freedom-hating voter base.
cruz, abbott, patrick, gohmert, cornyn and cock-eyed Ken the AG, along with trump, corrupt SCOTUS majority and the whole gop giving them cover, are soaked in this woman's blood.
She was a white woman, literally named heaven HEAVEN backwards, and she's still dead, you absolute cowards that voted to enable this. Y When will you realize that you're not safe from this, you're not different, you're not "one of the good ones" that will see some protections others won't. Go have someone read a short poem to you, commonly referred to as, "first they came for". There will be plenty of words in there you don't understand, but the gist is, YOU OR YOUR DAUGHTER ARE FUCKING NEXT UP - this dead teenager, who never saw her 20th birthday, is the latest Handmaid they throw on the wall as an example to others of what's coming.
There won't be an official announcement when christian fascism takes over your area or else there would have been one a while ago.
The cruelty is the point.
Where were all the pro-lifers? Oh, that's right, they only care about you before birth. My mistake.
Literally just had an argument with a born again Christian who didn't want tampons in bathrooms.. because tax payers would have to pay and it was the parents responsibility
This guy though has no problem with collecting the pension from tax payers or the church not paying tax.
So he's fine if we remove all toilet paper from bathrooms. How he wipes his ass is his parent's responsibility right?
Recalled this case that is getting public attention in Mexico. Queretaro, a state in the Bajio region of Mexico known by its conservative ideas, is using their attorneys to try to make a 14 yo child to pay 26,000 USD in damage repair to her rapist, because she suffered a miscarriage. The state attorneys also demand her to go to prison for three years.
Publicly, and in the media, the girl is known as "Esmeralda". I'm sorry I couldn't find a note in English about this case to link. The thing in common between both situations is a corrupted institution that's supposed to protect the people.
We all predicted this would happen because we have a basic understanding of the world and a smidge of empathy. Unlike Republicans.
Ken Paxton, the Texas Attorney General who is primarily responsible for the present situation, used to be my local state senator.
I specifically kept my voter registration in Texas during my college years so that I could continue to cast my vote against him. There is nothing good to say about that evil man.
I like Texas, and I hope that at some point we figure out how to govern it in a sane way, because I unfortunately cannot recommend living there right now.
politicians killed this girl as surely and as gruesomely as any serial killer.
Probably the Zodiac killer, Rafael Cruz.
Pro ~~life~~ fetish.
Around 1 in 5 pregnancies, that's 20%, end in miscarriage. There's a bit of a genetic lottery that is random within this crazy sensitive process of creating a baby. You can be doing everything right, but it doesn't matter. You can lose the pregnancy and many do. And then, statistically, their next pregnancy is healthy and without complication.
There's no fault to a person in this progress, just like there's no fault to how a flower grows - some have more pedals, some have crooked stems, some never grow and stay seeds in the ground. Texas killing this child for losing a pregnancy is akin to them having you roll a 5 sided dice and shooting anyone who lands on a "4" between the eyes.
Ignorance and fear rule the red areas on the US map. Of course those red areas are populated predominately by trees, lakes and mountains, all of which are likely more intelligent and empathetic than the few frightened human voters spattered throughout that share that very rural landscape.
The people that voted for this shit have the biggest blinders on right now. I'm sure they're trying to ignore that anything has gone wrong.
I hope someone with enough money to make this a problem for the policy makers gets after this in court soon. The USA needs to either pass a federal law stating that abortion is legal, or they need a new roe v. Wade judgement on the books. Until one of those things happens, this continual and unnecessary loss of life will continue; it is inevitable.
For people who call themselves "pro-life" they sure don't give any shits about people continuing to live.
Anyone who is anti abortion, this is for you: 🖕
Sincerely,
Not sure how doctors can willingly comply with this shit. Seems antithetical to the Hippocratic oath.
Ahhh shit. It's a young attractive white girl. They might actually pay attention to this one. Maybe...
No they usually abuse them so they wanna keep that under wraps, like the Catholic priests they kept moving from church to church instead of sending to the cops.
Not married, though, so I wouldn’t count on it.
I have a suspicion that a mother who named their daughter Heaven backwards might have agreed with the Republicans up until the time it affected her daughter.
This is exactly the goal of force birth policies.
Women who don't survive are considered weak and must be cleansed for Republicans' perfect society. It's eugenics. Killing women is the point, in the minds of Republicans every woman who dies deserves it.
Insane this is allowed to happen in 2024. And more insane that medical staff are following these caveman rules and are not protesting.
Is there a database that collects these cases? I'm not from the US, but I think it would make a lot of sense to have a website that documents all those cases, so one could point people to it if necessary.
Hey, remember that former Trump aide and professional jackass, John McEntee, who said he didn't see any evidence of women being injured as a result of anti-abortion laws? Funnily enough, he has been conspicuously silent on the subject since. Instead, he's now making "jokes" about repealing the 19th amendment. A real piece of work.
Sad thing is that these stories don’t seem to get in front of the people who need to hear them. The media censorship in right wing media is as aggressive as the media censorship that they think exists in traditional media outlets.
Right wing media convinces their viewers that any media which conflicts with their viewpoint is fake news. This perspective is super alarming because it makes it super hard to construct an argument when every set of proof is considered a lie and propaganda.
