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

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.
Honestly, this is a perfect reductio ad absurdum why executive order power should not be given to one person (and their admin) for a country of 400 million......
This is why I cannot re-watch childhood cartoons of mine. The villains there are ironically less evil than these people and people don't support them in universe...
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.
Sure, but we should also allow assisted suicide done professionally. My body my choice.
Fuck that, who gives anyone the right to force me to be alive? Fuck anyone who believes they get to have a say on if I choose to continue or not. You are just as bad as the pro lifers
Especially given that most (roughly 80% https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0163834323000130) do not make a repeat attempt.
Such a law would need extremely careful wording
The woman is braindead, which is legally dead in most jurisdictions. Her body is being kept breathing by machines but legally she's dead.
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.
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.
If this weren't the work of religious people i would say y'all need more god in your life
