A Texas Woman Died After Waiting 40 Hours for Miscarriage Care

Texas governor should be charged with conspiracy to commit murder.

To Barnica, an immigrant from Honduras

Shocking, that an immigrant of color would be treated this way in Texas.

I wonder if white girls are subjected to the same standard of care, or if doctors are statistically more likely to feel comfortable about the possibility of having to defend their decision. Maybe it's the same across the board, but I'd be a little surprised.

This shit is why my wife elected to get a hysterectomy when she started having other issues down there. She simply doesn't want the chance to get pregnant in this state.

GOP Reaction: "Our thoughts and prayers..."

Things like this are the origin stories for heros in films who bring down corrupt bureaucracies through unspeakable violence

Remember, the cruelty is the point. Rs want this.

This is absolutely heartbreaking and the inevitable result of not just the repeal of roe but the active punishment of women. And people who are anti choice have this image in their head that it's some woman who slept around, didnt feel like using a condom and at 8 months 3 weeks is trying to use an abortion in place of birth control. They believe that obviously that the law wouldnt be so cruel and sinister as to cause people to die and withhold medical care and make exceptions when it makes sense.

But then theres this:

Soon after the ruling, the Biden administration issued federal guidance reminding doctors in hospital emergency rooms they have a duty to treat pregnant patients who need to be stabilized, including by providing abortions for miscarriages.

Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton fought against that, arguing that following the guidance would force doctors to “commit crimes” under state law and make every hospital a “walk-in abortion clinic.” When a Dallas woman asked a court for approval to end her pregnancy because her fetus was not viable and she faced health risks if she carried it to term, Paxton fought to keep her pregnant. He argued her doctor hadn’t proved it was an emergency and threatened to prosecute anyone who helped her. “Nothing can restore the unborn child’s life that will be lost as a result,” he wrote to the court.

Genuinely an evil evil man.

Horrible, just fucking disgusting and an entirely predictible outcome of the Trump/republican abortion bans.

She didn’t just “die.” She was tortured for 40 hours and then murdered by anti-abortion death cultists.
