This couple's whole story is crazy. She's been an abortion activist since jump street, she jumped on the bandwagon to sue Texas over their abortion laws immediately, she's been to Washington to lobby for abortion, and she's seemingly "grieving" because her baby died because she couldn't abort it and kill it anyway? Does that make ANY sense? I've read what is available about her case history, she had a rare cervical defect that started this whole process, contrary to other stories, her water DID NOT break. She wasn't immediately showing signs of illness, the baby's heartbeat was okay, to her doctors she seemed stable. An "at risk" pregnancy, but generally stable. Things got worse, the baby died, they promptly removed it, and she spent a WHOLE WEEK in the ICU being treated for an infection with antibiotics while under observation. The main cause of this, and what likely killed her baby, was a blood pressure medicine prescribed to her at that time which she had a negative reaction to. I'm a man and I had this same issue, six years ago I had a negative reaction to a blood pressure medicine and I spent six days in the hospital while they worked to get my BP back up and stabilize my heart rate. And yes, I became very sick, I developed an infection in my lungs, I ran high fever, it took weeks after I got out of the hospital to get back to normal. The fault here lies with her physicians and no one else. Texas allows abortion if the mother's life is at risk - the ONLY people who determine that are HER doctors - not the Texas state legislature or the federal government, that is entirely up to HER physicians. My daughter is a labor/delivery nurse, we've talked about this case ever since they popped up on the radar, but a LOT since the ridiculous Biden ad which shows her grieving so much because her daughter that she wanted to kill is dead, and somehow, that's Trump's fault. Her lawsuit against Texas is just for HER pain and suffering and HER PTSD because she got sick, which she blames on not getting an abortion. Nothing about her child, which she quickly wanted to kill anyway. And her hubby's remark about states being "justed as f*cked up as Texas" is telling. Austin has a big airport, you want an abortion that badly, get on a plane and go to any state that still allows abortion - plane tickets aren't very expensive. Bottom line, she had a rare cervical condition, she would have gotten very sick either way, if she had had an abortion or not. Either way, the only people to blame for ANYTHING in this instance are her doctors, and the couple themselves. If a doctor tells my wife she could die if she doesn't get a surgical procedure that's illegal in our state (whatever that would be), we'd be on an airplane before the sun went down to get her somewhere that she could get that operation. This is nothing but self-serving propaganda from a couple looking to get liberal fame and make some money over a tragic situation.
The law didn't prevent the doctors from treating this mother, including removing the baby, for the health of the mother. Abortion is a different matter altogether when the baby is deliberately killed.
wrong. miscarriage is a spontaneous abortion medically. doctors are terrified to provide care for spontaneous abortions since they can get prosecuted. why speak when you obviously don't know what you're talking about.
Did you not understand that the law actually did prevent immediate treatment? That they had to wait until the fetus died three days later before delivering it using abortive methods? Failure to remove the dying fetus immediately resulted in bacterial sepsis for the woman, and while she survived after a week in Intensive Care, has resulted in massive scar tissue in her uterus. This story was in my newspaper this morning with more information. These abortion bans are dangerous.
Honestly this whole video is equivalent to finding one instance where during the holocaust, someone trying to hide a Jewish family accidentally got them killed, then claiming it’s wrong to try to hide Jewish families from the Nazis. Absolute smooth brained thinking.
She deliberately induced her own illness. She admitted to wishing for it then went out for a walk to get it started. IVF is too expensive to have to carry a baby with issues. And she's considered maternally geriatric so time's a wasting! Get it out ammirite
As a parent of one child and another one that is on the way at about 16 weeks along, I don't understand the instinct these parents have to immediately try to abort their child when the doctor tells them something has gone wrong, even if it's a medical inevitability. They obviously already gave up on their child right away when they heard the news and wanted to immediately "start working" on the next one, which is a mindset that seems to come from wanting the status of a parent more than simply being a parent. I think the abortion-trigger-happy culture of today has taught us to think like this. However, as a parent who is pro-life, putting myself in this couple's shoes, my instinct upon hearing the news that my baby might be dying wouldn't be to immediately kill the baby, even if there was a health risk involved (especially since it is only a health risk, meaning it's not immediate).
You aren't pro life if you dont value the life of the mother. What you would do in the situation is irrelevant, people deserve the right to make medical decisions for themselves. So what if they wanted to try and preserve her uterus in the hopes of having a child later? How is almost letting her die while the fetus inside her slowly dies a better option than induction? Cause it makes you feel better? People like you make me sick, with your holier-than-thou attitude 😒
The woman's water broke. It was impossible for the fetus to survive. If it is between an abortion of a soon-to-be dead fetus and my life, call me pro-life because I am absolutely choosing to save my life. The woman was close to death. Clearly the abortion was the right call.
@@ChristophProbst If it was, then the system will eventually correct itself. An edge case like this does not justify Roe v Wade at all. Sorry, try harder next time.
@@teresamcmud2605 No right to kill a baby, or "terminate pregnancy" until and unless there is imminent threat to the mother. The law was properly exercised
This is what the radical, probirth, evangelical fanatics have wrought.
This is America - sad. This will be on the ballot in 2024
They want to strip rights away based on fairytales, then want people to feel sorry for them when it backfires. Eff them! They get what they deserve.
Modern embryology and biology is a fairytale, apparently
