Most pro life people would want to see why this happened. Something somewhere went wrong and there may or may not have been negligence. It’s dangerous to make any opinion off a headline, especially one that involves polarizing topics

Pro life people are “pro birth” not life. None of them give a fuck what happens to the child AFTER pregnancy. They don’t care about orphanages being funded, they don’t care about low income families on social safety nets, they don’t care about school lunches, they don’t care about pediatric cancer research, they don’t care about kids health or college or fuck all. They just want to control women. They’ll take it so far as to ban contraceptives if they had the choice to.

Women understand those risks when they choose to have an abortion. They did not know a pregnancy would be the death of them and nothing could be done because of a stupid fucking law that values a fetus more than a grown woman.

From what I’ve read, it sounds like broad neglect. Abortion laws would not have prevented docs from monitoring her and admitting her to ICU with a NICU consult. There is no law that would have prohibited that. Before assuming the intent of an EM and OB doc, I’d have to see their chart and documentation

So women should just be able to execute their children with exercise bands? That can end forced motherhood can’t it? Btw rape and incest abortions are a like 2% of all abortions.

This issue is far broader than this single case. Forced motherhood is a fundamental flaw in society. You are bringing children into this world who will not be taken care of you’re only causing more death and pain because you people believe that a fetus is more valuable than a woman. The fetus doesn’t even have a consciousness till 24 weeks into the pregnancy. Most abortions happen in the first trimester or 13 weeks of the pregnancy or the first 2 months.

Access to safe and legal abortion is recognized as a fundamental human right by major international bodies and human rights organizations like the World Health Organization and Amnesty International.

Cool 2015 r/atheism quote at the end. The right to your own body stops exactly at the point where it stops being your body. An individual that has separate dna from you is NOT you. Lindsay Clancy is the logical conclusion to your pro abortion stuff. If it’s legal just before birth then it’s not a huge step to say it should be legal after birth either. I guess that’s what you mean by an individual having decisions over their own future right?

There is a reason pro choice people argue for set limits on legal abortions. The first trimester being the most agreed time since the fetus does not have consciousness until that time period is over. You’re bringing up a criminal who killed her children and has plead insanity. This is absurd to use as a counter argument because all of those children had consciousness and were fully formed.

Unfortunately, it doesn’t seem like they got that far, and if they did, there was severe malpractice far before that. From the bits and pieces I’ve gathered, it seems that she had a sepsis workup but wasn’t admitted to ICU. Even if they had no intention of ever providing termination as an option, she should have been admitted for observation. It’s difficult to say without reading the documentation but it sounds like broad neglect

I mean you wanting abortions banned is basically supporting them. The only people pushing for those policies are evangelical right wingers who are also largely responsible for helping this administration protect the Epstein class and the pedophile elite. Thomas Massie is the only one actually speaking out and trying to expose these people and is the only Republican I respect. And yes when you bring up pro life talking points they are republican talking points.

Just reading that, I feel like it all lines up. My “nonsensical values” would lend themselves to advocating stricter abortion regulation. My daughter, who is the product of a failed abortion would lend herself towards me being pro life. And your final statement, like before is a false dilemma.

If pregnancy poses a significant risk to the life of the mother, termination should be an option. Like in the case mentioned here. She wanted the baby. For whatever reason, she wasn’t even admitted for observation. Regardless of what the final outcome would have been, she should have been admitted. Considering the resources available in the area, it’s a very real possibility that she could have been treated and the pregnancy could have been saved, or she could have delivered and recovered
