Oh, and the family is forced to pay the medical bills, even though they asked to let her die peacefully.

    If I have a bill that big, it’s the hospital’s problem not my problem.

    Until you want to buy a car or a house...

    I'll just keep buying second hand cars. My current car is 20 years old, bought it when it was 10 years old and it's still going. Put away $20 a week or whatever you would have been paying on the loan and you'll always have a fund to get something. Treat it like a loan too, you can't pull money out of the loan you've been paying, so don't touch this money either unless for the most dire of emergencies.

    This is the way to do it. It’s just not worth the financial struggle if you’re the kind who would be impacted by a new car.

    It also means it’s much easier to afford to replace the vehicle if it’s becoming a money pit, and you don’t sweat a small scratch.

    And good for the environment!

    medical bills aren't forced on the family that I've ever heard. they may try, but until you fuck up and say it is your responsibility by paying even a Tylenol bill, its not. my dad had over 6million twenty years ago lawyers are helpful.

    the entire news cycle of the country is just a wild series of this exact meme back to back to back

    If the mother dies, who goes to jail for murder of the fetus/unborn?

    Remember that every Republican voted for this. Every single one voted to have this women go through a horrible experience and live with the medically treatable consequences. Republicans voted for that pain, suffering, and fucking horrific fall out. Republicans voted for this.

    I believe the unborn baby is sick and have no chance of surviving.

    When you force someone's life to end, that's homicide. There should be a name (and a punishment) for forcing someone's life to continue.

    Be very careful with this. Suicidal people want their life to end and doctors have to ignore the patient's wishes and pump out the overdose. They do not deserve prosecution.

    Any MD here? If the mother is in a coma without ever coming back, does this in any form affect the pregnancy, when the mother’s organism is just kept running?

    Not a doctor but I can still guarantee you it's gonna fuck up that kid. Even assuming they're perfectly healthy, the mental impacts of learning you were born from basically a corpse will do wonders

    She's not in a coma, she's brain dead. You can get out of a coma, but brain death is when brain function irreversibly stops. The rest of the body is being kept alive by machines but the brain is dead and can't be revived. In most jurisdictions, this woman is legally dead. As for the pregnancy, I have read other articles that mention the baby will be severely impacted due to this, with several birth defects.

    The idea that a god, with their infinite wisdom, would be upset about you "killing" a "baby" inside of an essentially dead woman to spare the child from having severe birth defects and to actually allow the family to move on and mourn is... Wow. Something else. But hey, that's Christianity I guess.

    Who's taking care of this thing after it's born?

    Nobody. It's got a lot of fluid on the brain, and probably some other fucked up shit. I'd be surprised if the baby makes it more than a few weeks.

    "At least it's another soul in heaven!"

    We need to get the religious cavemen out of healthcare.

    Hopefully the mother since anything else would be woke, socialism, DEI or whatever the fuck is the monthly buzzword for letting poor "useless eaters" (sound familiar?) die

    Two women have died in Georgia since the Dobbs decision.

    Three in Texas.

    At least. These are just the stories that made the news.

    Notice these are women of color. Black women in the US are 3.5 times more likely to die in childbirth. Part of it is having symptoms dismissed - Adriana Smith’s headaches were ignored until it was too late.

    It has never been about the sanctity of life. It has always been a tool to control women.
