Louisiana forcing woman to carry headless fetus to term

[Jezcoe]

This is the result of lawmakers getting in between doctors and women. Nancy Davis of Baton Rouge is carrying a fetus with a rare condition where the baby's skull fails to form. It is fatal. Since her life is not in danger and the condition is not on the list of qualified conditions allowing abortion, Ms. Davis will either have to carry the fetus to term to have it die within an hour or travel to another State.

Just Monstrous.

Mother claims she was denied an abortion despite baby’s condition

A Baton Rouge mother has a week to make an unthinkable decision - carry her baby to term even though she says doctors tell her it will not survive or find another state where she can have an abortion.

The lawmakers who voted for and support the current abortion law should be required to attend the birth. They should be required to stay and watch the newly born baby die. Also watch the mental and physical impact on the mother.

There needs to be more exceptions to the law for cases like this. I feel for the woman being forced to carry such a fetus.

And another ****ed up thing is that if she were to go to a Planned Parenthood in another State, she would likely be met with people protesting and yelling at her that she is killing her baby.

My God. How evil can they be in Louisiana? Sick. Truly sick, and as a woman, my heart breaks for her.

Dobbs v. Jackson is going to cost the GOP big. You ain't seen nuthin' yet.

Disgusting.

Yes, that's one of the purposes of state licensure laws. It allows doctors to be controlled by politicians, an idea which originated as part of the progressive movement (naturally).

The same party forcing this would decline to offer her services post-birth.

No, it's the people of LA.

 

[BirdinHand]

Yeah....its going to get VERY expensive for some of these babies to be born. That baby she is carrying will rack up MILLIONS in medical bills in hours. There will be an entire TEAM in the delivery room...so just the birth is going to be astronomically expensive.

Is the state that is mandating that she carry that pregnancy going to cover those bills? Nope. So in addition to being forced to carry that baby who stands zero chance of living, this family is going to spend the next several months (if not years) of their lives dealing with insurance companies.

Bravo 'merica.

Considering that you, personally, support political control over doctors, I'd say the attempt was successful.

It's precisely analogous to a driver's license. The state determines who may drive and who may not drive. The state makes the rules for driving. Those who disobey the state lose their license. If you continue to drive after the state as revoked your license, cops with guns will arrest and imprison you.

Licensure laws for doctors work the same way - doctors either follow the rules made by politicians or else. This is the kind state-dominated world that progressives want. In the end, it is progressivism that is forcing this woman to carry her headless baby to term.

^^^^^^This is what a bad faith argument looks like ^^^^^

You think if this was put to a referendum the majority would vote to have this young lady carry that child to term? I cannot believe that.

Did Tucker tell you that?

If it's wrong, then you should have no problem pointing out how it's wrong.

Did Tucker tell you that?

My guess is Tucker likes the idea of political control over doctors.

 

[Jezcoe]

If it's wrong, then you should have no problem pointing out how it's wrong.

It is an argument made in bad faith. It is an attempt to make a false equivalence between State Medical Licensing boards that establish competency and standards to simple driver's licenses.

It is moronic.

Then furthermore since there is a State Medical Licensing Board there is furthermore the argument made that since the government establishes thresholds for competency and standards then that further opens the door to the Legislature making laws that deny certain kinds of care that actual doctors would not deny.

Then something something progressives.

It is stupid and in bad faith.

 

[Doppelgangirl]

Right… because requiring surgical instruments to be sterilized between patients, or to require surgeons “scrubbing in” —
Totally the same thing. You bring the regulation argument up frequently here, FWIW.
It reads as completely insincere, and a prime example of “owning libs” to your own detriment. Imo, anyway

Beat me to it

 

[Sabre]

She says she needs to make a decision quick since other states allowing abortion cut-off eligibility at 15 weeks. Davis says her family is sticking close and will support whatever decision she makes. She’s also willing to testify before the legislature to shine more light on this issue.

What is moronic to me is hesitating on a decision. All the negative things listed here will quite likely occur if she waits and delivers the baby. She should be quickly heading to Florida and having the needed abortion and then come back to LA and take the fight to them when she is capable. It's an honest fight and she needs to do it without being encumbered. JMO

I'm a woman, and I am struggling badly to correlate being forced to carry a headless fetus to term with my drivers license.

For you and @Jezcoe:

Do you or do you not support the state regulating doctors and medical procedures?

This answer: "Yes, but only if the regulator is progressive and does things I agree with" is not an option.

45% of the country is pro life.
