⚠️⚠️EDIT: TERFS AND RADFEMS FUCK OFF FROM THIS POST. THIS IS NOT THE TIME TO BRING UP YOUR TRANSPHOBIC DISCOURSE.⚠️⚠️
What the fuck is wrong with people?
A woman, a black woman, who was a nurse who had a DNR request, is kept on life support while braindead because she was 9 weeks pregnant.
Recently, her body has began to rot, and the baby was born prematurely due to this. The baby is now in the NICU when it shouldn't have even been born in the first place, as the body it was growing in couldn't provide for it.
So now where is this family in life?
The mother is dead. Her young son has lost his mother and is traumatized for life after having to see her in the state the hospital kept her in.
The family is most likely in extreme medical debt, both from the woman being kept on life support for so long and now this baby being in the NICU with no way of knowing if it will survive.
Will this family receive any support to pay it off? When this woman was kept "alive" against her wishes? When the family has no choice or say in the matter?
No, of course not. Even though the state chose to keep her alive for the sake of the fetus, they will still pass on the debt to the family.
And what of the baby? Will this baby even survive? Will they grow to have disabilities from being incubated in a corpse as a sick experiment?
Will the family receive any support for raising this baby, disabilities or not?
No, of course not. Because once the fetus is born the state doesn't care anymore. If they decide to give the baby up for adoption, because they can't afford to accommodate the baby should it be disabled, they will no doubt be shamed endlessly.
Will the young boy receive any support or counseling to process this situation? How the state forced him to witness his mother on life support, unable to interact with him? How his mother was used as an experiment? How this goes way beyond just losing his mother?
No, of course not. The focus was never on the boy or his mother, only the fetus she was carrying. This black boy will grow up troubled and misunderstood and scrutinized for his mental state.
How is any of this pro-life?
How is any of this God's will?
This is medical malpractice, this is the manipulation of a non-white family for the sake of what is essentially a parasite.
I hope this family sues the hospital and the state. I hope they find the best lawyer possible who will do it for free. I hope they win their case and bankrupt everyone who put them through this awful, sickening, blasphemous situation.
If there is a fundraiser for the family anywhere, then I urge you to donate. Please link it on this post through a reblog or in the comments.
