This is tragic and sadly entirely predictable given the Texas laws.
A dramatic rise in pregnant women dying in Texas after abortion ban
"From 2019 to 2022, the rate of maternal mortality cases in Texas rose by 56%, compared with just 11% nationwide during the same time period"
If you have a pregnant loved one, get them the hell out of Texas.
Imagine being a doctor in this scenario. You could save them. You have the tools, the capabilities, the facility. But you have to let them die or risk ruining your own life. There are no winners here.
And if you're really dedicated to being a person who saves lives and its a big part of your personal identity, you'd also be risking the lives of the future people you'd be able to help and your identity as a person who saves lives. You can't help this one person in this specific life threatening situation but there's other peripartum hemorrhages you could help and many more you could try to keep out of that condition to begin with. But to do that you have to let this one person die despite knowing how to help them too. Absolute shit sandwich.
I'm working on developing a better work life balance but for the longest time working as a nurse has been the thing I stuck around on ye olde mortal coil for. It's what was worth sticking around to try and get through all that therapy for. I won't try to say it's healthy but if I lost my license I don't really have a whole lot left to stick around for.
I hope you stick around. We need nurses so badly and we have so few.
Laughs in heritage foundation
Don't even visit while pregnant.
Things can happen suddenly and you might not be able to get out to save your life.
We are the shithole country.
Yeah, this is the sort of thing I'd expect to see in some 3rd world backwater.
They're more likely to lack tools facilities and equipment and maybe training; I doubt there are many who would actively block something that they had readily available.
Unless they were also under the control of psychopaths / sadists / sociopaths.
Do something about it and vote. We all have to do our part
"Since her death, Fails has sought legal action to hold the hospitals accountable."
Wrong target. You go after the politicians who passed the law that killed your daughter.
If you close down all the hospitals with lawsuits, the politicians will be held accountable. One would hope, at least.
What are you talking about?
Are you saying that instead of suing the hospital, she should start up a PAC to go after hundreds of Texas state politicians...?
Because if you meant sue them for wrongful death, they are exempt. So even if they are more directly culpable in their daughter's death, she cannot bring direct legal action against them for that.
Criminal action. They directly killed her daughter.
It's indirect.
You are aware that legislatures cannot be held directly criminally responsible for the laws they pass, right?
I'm not disputing that their actions killed their daughter, I'm trying to explain to you that they cannot be held legally responsible in the manor you're suggesting.
Shouldn't stop anyone from trying. The press alone would be worth it.
There wouldn't be any press....
No lawyer would take the case. Hell, a lawyer might even get sanctioned for even attempting to file it.
This isn't like an uphill legal battle where there's a process that can draw attention. It's a non-starter.
Pretend you file a lawsuit by filling out a form online, but whenever you try and submit this lawsuit, it goes to 404 not found. You're suggesting they spend thousands of dollars, for a 404 error.
However, suing the hospital, is a very long and drawn out legal process.... So if your goal is to bring attention to the issue, well there you have it.
How many women do the Republicans have to kill before everyone else is too outraged to let it go on?
Coming nationally to a state near you if the republicans win.
#VOTE!!!
When you are brainwashed by religion, you become a sociopath, and as a result of that, vote against abortion, healthcare for all, food stamps, and anything else that is humane. In short the exact opposite of what Jesus preached.
The American exaggerated rhetoric about freedom, is so extreme that sociopathy has become a virtue. Because an absolute lack of conscience is absolute freedom.
Why are American conservatives such a bunch of loonies? Conservatives in other developed countries allow abortion in cases of clear danger to the health of the mother and/or the fetus/baby. American conservatives is as bad the Taliban.
I hope there's a Very Special Hell for religious nutjobs.
They really enjoy killing people.
No lives matter to these ghouls
One of the reasons I hear for these draconian, inhumane laws is that we should be having more children to sustain the (subtext: white) population. I just only just realized they will do the exact opposite.
Poor woman. What a tragedy.
all god's plan or some shit
Neveah
She went.. back to heaven
Worst. Name. Ever.
Whatever, Texas, you voted you got it.
Did they, though? Do we know how Nevaeh Crain and Candace Fails voted? Would that somehow make it okay?
The fact thay people who have done nothing to support these policies can still be killed by them is PRECISELY the problem.
