Emergency rooms refused to treat pregnant women, leaving one to miscarry in a lobby restroom
Emergency rooms refused to treat pregnant women, leaving one to miscarry in a lobby restroom
Complaints about pregnant women being turned away from emergency rooms spiked in the months after states began enacting strict abortion laws following the 2022 U.S.
“One woman miscarried in the restroom lobby of a Texas emergency room as front desk staff refused to admit her. Another woman learned that her fetus had no heartbeat at a Florida hospital, the day after a security guard turned her away from the facility. And in North Carolina, a woman gave birth in a car after an emergency room couldn’t offer an ultrasound. The baby later died.”
“Complaints that pregnant women were turned away from U.S. emergency rooms spiked in 2022 after the U.S. Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade, federal documents obtained by The Associated Press reveal.”
“The cases raise alarms about the state of emergency pregnancy care in the U.S., especially in states that enacted strict abortion laws and sparked confusion around the treatment doctors can provide.”
A lot of older American women, have these stories, this is why Roe vs Wade was so important and should have become part of the constitution. These stories will keep happening as long as Republicans are allowed to keep mixing church and state.
104These stories will keep happening as long as Republicans are allowed to keep mixing church and state.
These will continue happening so long as Republicans are allowed to be in government. Church is an excuse, not the cause. They're bad people who should not be allowed to govern.

This level of dysfunction surprises me, and I expected a high level of dysfunction.
Donald Trump did this.
74It shouldn't surprise you. It's entirely intentional. The cruelty is the point.
36Also it's about racism. black and brown people are more likely to die from child birth.

I hate Trump as much as the next guy. But let's get real. The GOP did this.
Remember when the GOP shut down the government twice under Obama? I remember. I never forgave them for that.
19It's the argument that Never Trumpers love. "Trump isn't a real Republican and we didn't want this. We merely setup all the conditions for someone like Trump to come along and eat the party whole."

Conservatives are attacking women and LGBTQ people and it's not just happening in America. What the Republicans are doing sent a wave across the globe and other conservative groups are reproducing this in their own country.
It's an attack on basic rights and liberties.
44Yeah, I've been observing this also in Germany and Brazil.
6And Italy. And Argentina.

Maternal care was already the most feeble of all the developed countries, and even what we had is being taken away.
28So does that mean a lawsuit now? Or jail?
Not anyone at the hospitals of course, I mean those "wicked" women.
23That's what i was thinking--this is only the beginning of their woes. They committed a crime by having a miscarriage, i imagine this isn't the last we've heard of these stories
11Let's sue God for aborting that baby.

This is the value of Republican lawmaking right here folks. Human suffering is all they have to offer anyone.
