In reply to the discussion: A pregnant teenager died after trying to get care in three visits to Texas emergency rooms [View all]DET
(2,490 posts)42. This is Murder
Texas is conflating a miscarriage with abortion. The fetus is or will soon be dead during a miscarriage. Do they think God will somehow perform a miracle and save it? These people dont have the faintest understanding of female anatomy and gestation.
It is completely inexplicable to me how doctors are allowing patients to needlessly die. Im astounded that there dont seem to be organized lawsuits against this. I cant imagine the horror that this girls mother must have experienced being forced to watch her daughter die for no reason - even if she is part of the problem. This is barbaric.
