She did her part keeping the hospital beds available for more profitable patients. It's the American way. As long as our hospitals (and government) prioritize profits over health, there will be no end to these stories.
I keep saying single-payer healthcare is better than what we have now and get attacked for it. "I'm fine - you're fine - my kids are fine! Stop saying you want everything for free!" Just because we are ok doesn't mean everyone else is, you selfish prick.
Does anyone remember from the handmaids tail where the one handmaids loses her shit and shoots a guard and I think aunt Lydia? So they put her in a coma and keep her alive for her womb? And she wasn’t the patient, the baby was?
Yeah.
Any "pro-life" fuckheads want to speak up here? This is the inevitable result of laws criminalizing healthcare. The doctors could not act without risking criminal prosecution in Texas and this young woman died. Or maybe killing women was the goal all along? Solving Texas' teen pregnancy problem one dead teen at a time.
"Doctors involved in Crain’s care did not respond to several requests for comment. The two hospitals, Baptist Hospitals of Southeast Texas and Christus Southeast Texas St. Elizabeth, declined to answer detailed lists of questions about her treatment."
The predominance of religion-owned hospitals in large swaths of the country is part of the anti-autonomy strategy. When I wanted my tubes tied along with my second C-section, I had a choice of the university-affiliated hospital rather than the Catholic one which wouldn't perform a tubal ligation. But in many places, there's no such option, especially in an emergency.
That'll teach those sinful women for daring to have sex without their owners' permission. Even stuff like this won't sway the committed republicunts since they can fall back on some bullshit about "god's plan" or find ways to turn it back on the victims of their politics.
Killing Pregnant Teenagers is EXACTLY how we SAVE THE CHILDREN! PRO LIFE!
Fuuuuu, imagine dying like this. That poor girl.
The absolute terror she must've had in her mind, while being in a hospital too. The place that should help her, just feeling absolutely powerless and probably begging for help while life is slipping away. Imagine what she sees in the faces of the people she's asking for help from.
Terrifying.
The doctors are breaking their oath every time they refuse treatment.
Let them see this dead fetus they picked over a healthy girl every other night.
This is what happens when you have Y'all-Qaeda running your state 🫠
I swear I've read about four of these occurrence this week.
Does anyone know if there is a record of all preventable deaths from complicated pregnancies?
So I can drill this into my suddenly pro-life anti-immigrant Trumper family?
It is absolutely infuriating when you bring up a scenario like this and the "pro-life" say "there's exceptions when it's a real emergency."
Then of course they either victim blame or stay silent when the scenarios we described do happen.
Doing wonders for that birth rate they care much about.
I'm convinced this is class warfare disguised as misogyny.
