Usually they refuse a life-saving DNC and just watch someone bleed out and die.

If you are alive, they make you get and stay dead.

The cause of death was unrelated to the pregnancy. I think it was a stroke or something similar. A fuller version of the story was in The Root.

She was only 9 weeks pregnant with somewhere in the neighborhood of 30 to go.

Why doesn't the pro-choice movement use this argument? If I know about it, why don't they?

The cause of death was not related to the pregnancy, and she was dead before the government learned she was pregnant at all.

If she was injured that traumatically in a car accident the impact is the same.

It is not about whether the pregnancy caused her condition. It is about what is happening.

Iirc, the fetus is not developing correctly as well. If determined to be do to the condition of the mother’s body then termination should be in order.

At 9 weeks, this poor woman had an EMBRYO inside her! And what is called 9 weeks is actually about 7 weeks. I remember that the pregnancies of BOTH my children were calculated from the starting dates of my menstrual bleeds. And the embryo does not really form at that point. Many women do not even know they are pregnant at the point this poor woman was forced into being a dead incubator.

Lawyers should try having her declared dead. Dead people cannot give birth. Or at least it's not happened before.

The implications are astounding. People could be declared the product of all their ancestors. Right back to famous rich royalty!

Property and inheritance rights could be claimed!

You say oh, this can't happen! Ha! Dead parent is birthing by state decree!

Jeeze, I could inherit the Austro-Hungarian Empire! (No idea how many are between me and the throne. Maybe I could pull a Richard III move.)

That's perfect.

Would the hospital put her out on the street?

Will Georgia threaten to let the dead woman die?

Under the laws of some states, women are not people but just incubators for the state. This is abuse of a corpse.
They have taken this woman's dignity and humanity.
Allow her the peace she deserves.

More like a tv series....... Maybe something like A Hand male's Tale......since this actually happened in the show!!!!!!!

S6 Episode #9 in about 2 hrs EDLSV Time!

Life imitates art……more so, A Handmaid’s Tale and 1984 have become instruction manuals for some people.

... from a bloodthirsty horde of faux-Christian Republican sociopaths. Inflicting pain on those who have done nothing wrong gives them intense, perverted pleasure.

There was an unmistakable back and forth. Each child was different and I got to know them while pregnant. I am sure that works both ways.

how cd a baby develop normally like this? there’s a complex interplay w the mother and her hormones.

The deceased woman's body is probably continuously deteriorating. Who knows how long it can sustain a pregnancy?

No mother's movements, emotions, or voice.

A machine womb could be programmed to provide some kind of feedback. Simulated or not, it'd be better than what this life-form is getting. This is state torture. If this process does end up delivering a child, it'll be a traumatized ghost from the moment of birth

Had no idea if that was usual or not, it was fascinating experience. 😊

We also grow an extra litre of blood and our systems connect. I don't think we know the half of it, but the two are one in a very special way.

Your post reminded me of an interesting article I came across a while back.

Than you!

It will make Jesus Happy!!!! Sorry, Jesus. They have to drag your name through the dirt so they feel the "Righteous!". I think this was what He would have meant when He was quoted (400 years later) as saying would make Him puke. (Lukewarm Christians) The hypocrisy is beyond Belief. And the fiduciary penalties are positively Satanic. My everlasting sorrow for every Soul enduring this. Shame, Shame, Shame.

the Bible is clear, the soul enters the body with the First Breath Of Life. Conception is never mentioned except for Mary.

GODDAMIT.

"Crucify the mother. Then take food support from the child. Heh heh." - G.O.P.

It's hideous and our stupid electorate is to blame. We all knew who the candidate was. They wanted this.

Watched 60 Minutes last night speak with billionaire inventor Palmer Luckey of Oculus fame. He spoke of his support for 47 and how the president is where the people are. That was so disheartening to hear. But it does explain how we became a dystopian hellscape.

"She's pregnant with my grandson. But he may be blind, may not be able to walk, may not survive once he's born," Newkirk said. She has not said whether the family wants Smith removed from life support.

And no one seems to care, including the doctors.

Holy fuck. That is sickening and so wrong. OMG

that caused the brain death. I think she's at 21 weeks now. They're planning to try to keep her like that on life support until 32 weeks.

Apparently the fetus is already showing signs of fluid in the brain, and could end up severely damaged.

Ghouls

a certain Senator from PA who we dub "Frothy" (Rick Santorum) made it a point to fight removal of the feeding tube of a woman who was born and raised in a suburban Philly township and was living in FL - Terry Schiavo - who had been declared "brain dead" and in "a persistent vegetative state".

Schiavo Case Now a Campaign Dilemma
By Alan K. Ota, CQ Staff

In 2005, Rick Santorum put himself in the center of the congressional debate over the fate of Terri Schiavo, a 41-year-old Florida woman who doctors said was in a persistent vegetative state after a brain injury suffered in 1990.

The goal of the second-term Pennsylvania Republican senator was to stop the removal of a feeding tube for someone whose cerebral cortex was largely gone, which Santorum depicted as “close to equivalent of someone with the disease cerebral palsy.”


ON THE SCENE: Santorum attends a vigil outside Schiavo's hospice in Florida two days before her death. (DAVID ADAME / EPA / NEWSCOM)

Proclaiming the issue to be the sanctity of life, he spoke with passion when he took the floor March 17, 2005, to plead for federal intervention to save an innocent woman “sentenced to death” by the Florida courts.

In the end, the controversy turned out very badly for congressional Republicans. Polls showed that most Americans, including a majority of Republicans, disapproved of Congress’ role in the case, a rebuke that contributed to Santorum’s 18-point defeat in the 2006 elections.

I thought about referencing that case in my OP as well because some of the concepts are similar but in that case, at least, the husband and the courts were on the side of doctors and the hospital. Here the hospital is actually facilitating this nightmare and state government and the state courts have decided to torture this woman and her unborn fetus. What is happening to Adriana Smith's body and her family, is absolutely horrifying and it should be nightmare fuel for every woman, young or old, that lives in Georgia.

The fetus will not survive. That it's lived this long is a miracle.
Perfectly healthy and livingwoman can have unexpected complications. This is a dead person that is being forced to breath and have a heartbeat only through extraordinary means, which is not meant to keep a person's body functioning during a pregnancy.
What they are doing is desecrating a corpse and torturing that unborn fetus.

What do you think of this? Could you straighten this up?

Amicus curiae means “friend of the court.” An amicus curiae brief is not filed by a party to an appeal. Rather, someone outside the case with an interest in its outcome will file one. An amicus curiae brief can be filed in both state and federal appellate courts.

Religion continues to be used for people control.
Anything you do is appreciated.

This came out years ago. Families could invoke this on their loved one’s behalf. As an American, tho, you have to make certain you put your wishes in writing. Personally I think a brain dead woman in her first trimester of pregnancy counts as someone for whom extraordinary measures should be waived. Too bad she was too young to have thought of making a will or giving someone her Durable Power of Attorney.

The mother of a friend of mine was a devout Catholic, and when she went into a nursing home had already made clear in writing that in the event of total incapacitation she wanted no feeding tubes, nothing but palliative hospice care. And so it was.

The Pope only has influence over his own flock, not the noxious American Evangelicals and their legislators. They don’t listen to women — I doubt they’d listen to any Pope.

And unplug her. Too bad it's come to this and I can't believe it's gone on this long ready. 9 weeks...that's a loose mass of fluffy tissue.

send the bill to the GA legislature.

When I die, they can't harvest any organs or study any part of my body unless I have given consent.

Even if it's a life-or-death situation for someone that needs my kidney if I say "no" they're not getting it.

A woman, on the other hand...

Honestly, it’s not the real deal of pro-life fanaticism until Jesus Christ shows up on a trailer hitch.

Pardon my sarcasm. I truly feel for that poor dead woman and her family. This situation is hideous.

Make them pay at least.
