A brain-dead Georgia woman is set to be taken off of life support after her baby was delivered
What is up with this thread? So many comments focused on issues completely unrelated to this terrible situation. I'm not really sure what y'all think they should've done. Just let the mom and baby die together?
That "soul" could've been incarnated in a better place instead of this... fucked up fascist place.
I immediately thought about Terry Schiavo.
Now that the hospital was forced to keep her artificially alive to deliver, the family must now pay for the expensive care of the premie baby without any support or ,afaik, Insurance to cover it.
GOP sure does care about babies in the womb.... But I certainly they are born, fuck them, let them find some bootstraps
George Carlin said it best: ”Pre-born, you're good. Pre-school, you're fucked!"
What the headline actually means to MAGA: "The organic incubator has served its purpose in providing a new wage slave"
Dune was supposed to be just a story. You weren't supposed to bring this aspect of the books, or any aspect for that manner, into the real world.
Republicans harvesting fetuses and discarding the dead mothers. Deport republicans.
Into an active volcano
Seconded. It’s much better than what I had in mind, is ecologically responsible, and is entirely feasible.
Christianity is the preferred superstition of American terrorists.
For as religious as they are, they sure do seem to love playing God.
Fucking ghouls.
Brain-dead since February. Can a healthy baby even be born in a situation like that?
So much of prenatal care impacts the child. The birth weight, for instance, seems abnormally low
I am not a doctor, let alone a NICU doctor or OB, but I've been wondering this whole time, how much fetal development is based on the mother's movement throughout the day and gravity's impact on the fetus? Especially that early in development. This whole situation has been so awful to hear about.
Not just that, but other biological processes...and even sound. Babies recognize the sound of their mother's voice from before they were born. And sounds from outside the womb (like language) too, IIRC.
Smith’s mother told local news that the baby weighs 1 pound and 13 ounces and will require care in the hospital’s neonatal intensive care unit.
Yikes.
Then again, if she was 9 weeks in when she was declared brain-dead, and that was February, it's still only June. The baby was not much further than 25 weeks along. I know these neonatal doctors and nurses are miracle workers, but that may be asking too much.
Jeez. I missed that detail.
If you just read the headline, you might even think this is reasonable. Hooray, we saved a baby!
But then you look into the details and it just gets worse and worse. I'm afraid for what will happen to this child.
Did I read that right? The baby is not quite 2 pounds? The people pushing for this kind of shit are savages
Time to unplug political life-support from the brain-dead legislators.
What horrors. We are monsters.
This happened in The Handmaid's Tale
Sooo will the baby be riddled with the hospital fees?
Might make for a good horror movie. They keep her alive for further impregnation, creating a family town. At the end they find out that the great mother is some lady in a bed.
At the end they can say "based on a true story."
That’s vaguely the plot for the X-files episode Home, not quite the same but I immediately thought of it. Only episode to receive a tv-ma rating.
