"pro life"
* women not included
She didn’t just “die.” She was murdered by politicians and anti-abortion death cultists. She was tortured for 40 hours and then murdered.
Half true. According to texas law, how it is written, the doctors could have aborted the fetus and saved the woman. They chose not to.
The partial birth the 17 week fetus was in was impossible to be saved, and it put the mothers condition in one risking her life (obviously). That met both criteria needed to legally abort in Texas.
Yes, the anti abortion shit is too strict, and if it wasn't so strict they probably wouldn't have refused to abort. But it was still at least partially (substantially) on the fault of the doctor/hospital that she died. They let her die because it may have caused some red tape.
From another thread...
Sure sure. Perfectly legal to do an abortion in Texas in a case of a medical emergency.
And then the case gets reviewed by a board of religious zealots who believe unwanted pregnancies (and by extension, pregnancy related deaths) are part of their god’s divine plan. They determine if this was an abortion, or a murder. In Texas, a state where the only thing liberal is their application of the death penalty.
Can you see why what the law says and what the law does are very different?
Sure, buddy.
The AMA should yank their credentials.
I like how you shift the blame to the doctors when it was the politicians that created the mess in the first place.
The real death panels are the conservatives that engineered this shit show.
So if the doctors somehow are now responsible, sure a shit the people who voted to enable this are as well.
This is heartbreaking. Josseli Barnica didn't have to die. Why does a woman have to be nearly dead before we will help her? Who thinks this is moral? This can't stand. This can't continue.
Is this another one? I swear earlier today I saw another case but they were Latina
