Of course, her next of kin have not objected to keeping the baby alive, have they?
Of course, her next of kin have not objected to keeping the baby alive, have they?Who cares. Your emotional qualms are your own. There's still no rational reason provided to continue support, especially against the wishes of the next of kin.
The hyperbole never ends with anti-abortionists, does it.In the three years since RvW was overturned at the federal level, leftists have found THREE dead women they can drag around as a prop (ignoring the living babies developing inside of those women....women who chose NOT to kill their babies) to bemoan the federal decision, because they are really really really really mad that they cant kill this baby....meanwhile 2.4 MILLION babies have still been killed in the name of choice in that same time frame.
And you people will see that and think its the pro life people standing for the babies that are the evil scumbags.
Then the baby should have more rights.Yes!
For we spectators that is the unknown. Of the several accounts I've read or browsed, Adriana Smith's prior statements concerning "What if . . ." are either unknown or not reported. So, nobody out here in the cyber world knows what choice she might prefer.
The mother’s rights trump the fetus. You really are going to defend this?
No, she is actually dead, and died three months ago. The ventilator forces circulation of the blood, but if I remember from the old Texas case back in 2014 or so, all sorts of other technological things have to be done to prevent natural decay processes, and they aren't as successful.But, obviously, she's not dead. If she were the baby would be dead too. If she were dead, there'd be no need to pull the plug.
She is brain dead. Thats pretty much death. This is actually sickening.
The next of kin have not mentioned their position either way. But as next of kin, they should have legal say. I stead, the state is taking that away from them.Of course, her next of kin have not objected to keeping the baby alive, have they?
Why?Then the baby should have more rights.
There is no baby. Just a fetus. A fetus has no rights nor is a person per the Constitution and federal law.Cool. Wouldn't want to violate the mother's rights, but if she's dead then we can protect a baby, and go on the wishes of other people I guess.
More emotional outbursts.More sickening yet is you guys' insistence on a dead baby.
No such right exists or is enumerated in the Constitution .Not the right to life, and yes I am.
She's brain-dead. Liberals wouldn't even view her as worthy of refrigeration.Brain-dead woman must carry fetus to birth because of abortion ban, family says
A hospital is using a breathing tube and other measures to keep a brain-dead Georgia woman's body functioning because she is pregnantabcnews.go.com
A hospital is using a breathing tube and other measures to keep a brain-dead Georgia woman's body functioning because she is pregnant
ATLANTA -- A pregnant woman in Georgia was declared brain-dead after a medical emergency and has been kept on life support for three months by doctors to allow enough time for the baby to be born and comply with Georgia’s strict anti-abortion law, family members say.
The GOP just views women as inccubators.
Lets force a brain dead woman to give birth to a child that will grow up without a mother. Bang up job anti science religious extremists.
The GOP is all about forced birth, they're terrible people and extremists. Controlling someone's body like this even in their death is fascist as ****.
She's brain dead. That is as good as being declared legally dead. She's literally dead in the bed, as it were. So no reason to continue to support corpse.
More hyperbole.
Who cares. Your emotional qualms are your own. There's still no rational reason provided to continue support, especially against the wishes of the next of kin.
Not really. At only as far in the context of abortion. But it does not have full personhood that is conferred and recognized by the Constitution or federal law.
since there is no child, there's no issue.
Letting a man decide for a woman is a wild argument. Also this story covered this, so tell us you didn't read the article without telling us you didn't read it...
More emotional outbursts.
No such right exists or is enumerated in the Constitution .
Except there is no child.Well, except for one reason - to save the child's life.
Nope, that's all you.Shrug. You guys started it.
Except again there is no child.....except again to save the child's life.
Not at all. The Constitution and federal law clearly defines personhood. The unborn do not qualify.Evidently you are mistaken. Otherwise this wouldn't have happened.
Except there is not. children originate at birth and are legal persons with rights under the constitution and federal law. Before then, it's a fetus and has no personhood or rights.Except there is. Do you what a pregnancy is? Do you know how children originate?
The real issue is that the living wills of brain dead pregnant women are ignored officially by law in several states in instances such as this.What's the point in keeping a brain dead person alive? Except maybe for organ harvesting?
Just you.lol. I wonder who's getting emotional here.
Yes, and Georgia is wrong.Apparently Georgia disagrees.
Everyone should spend time, money and ressources on my possible wishes when I die. This is my choice for the rest of you to abide by.
It's crazy talk.
That makes no sense.She's brain-dead. Liberals wouldn't even view her as worthy of refrigeration.
In this particular situation chances are far better than not that she wanted a living baby to be the result of her pregnancy. She is PG and didn't seek an abortion.
I would have opted for horrible limbo in order for any of my children to survive, in the circumstances my family is in now. Very possibly not if I were in different circumstances.
This seems tough for some libs here as well as MAGAs to grasp: choice means choice. There isn't just one choice for any given woman in any given circumstance, much less for all women. Many other women would opt to be taken off life support immediately no matter what their family's circumstances, for example.
I'm in CA. I vote to try to make sure things like this don't happen. The most likely outcome for me here is that, being deemed incompetent, I wouldn't make the choice, my husband would. That in the final analysis is what *I feel* is the best, most compassionate answer but TX believes my feelings don't mean shit and knows I have zero leg to stand on fighting this woman's situation so here we are.
In the three years since RvW was overturned at the federal level, leftists have found THREE dead women they can drag around as a prop (ignoring the living babies developing inside of those women....women who chose NOT to kill their babies) to bemoan the federal decision, because they are really really really really mad that they cant kill this baby....meanwhile 2.4 MILLION babies have still been killed in the name of choice in that same time frame.

Let him pay the hospital and ventilator expenses. I recall reading that they cost at least $1500/day in 2008 or so and could cost $5000/day then or even $7500/day in 2014. Now? Assuming $10,000/day isn't outrageous in 2025, 90 days means it would already have cost $900,000. I think one article called this a million dollar baby.Missing information on this to form an opinion.
Where is the father and what is his view on this. Does he want this child? Are they married and he has closest relative legal rights of decision making on end of life?
Example: If the father of this child is involved, wants this child, and was within his legal rights not to pull the plug to allow their child to come to term, arguing this is something they both planned for and both wanted, this is an entirely different story.
Oh cool, this person wants us to abide by the possible choices of braindead people.
Didn't take long too drop the mask, huh?
Tell us you didn't read the entire post without telling us you didn't read the entire post. Drama and hyperbole FTW.
I am 100% pro-choice but I can see the difficulty here. Her wishes may have been that the child survive.
