"The [abortion] law has created torture."

[Anonymous]

.. from the mouth of the father of a baby who lived all of 99 minutes due to abnormalities. The mom could not get an abortion in FL even though she asked for one. The hospital stated that because the baby had a heartbeat, and it was past 15 weeks, they could not perform the abortion.

They had to watch their baby gasp for breath for 99 minutes before the baby eventually died. And to top it off, they had to pay for the medical bills that came with the delivery, and the funeral costs.

This is what Rs have done to the parents and babies.

Now, he was haunted by the sound of Milo gasping for air and the sight of his body struggling to ward off a death that had been inevitable for three long months.

"To me it's just pure torture," Rogell said. "The law has created torture."

In the midst of that uncertainty, Deborah has endeavored to find some purpose in Milo's short life, sharing the story of her pregnancy as broadly as she can, even as she has watched Florida legislators move to restrict state laws around abortion even further.

It surprises family members to see Deborah take such a public stance.

"I always thought of her as my shy child," Rogell said.

But Deborah wants other people to know what happened, how politicians intervened in decisions about medical care with a law that made doctors fearful of terminating even hopeless pregnancies.

I’m really not interested in hearing what a father thinks. Why is he speaking for the mother? Why don’t he let her speak for herself?

Because she just gave birth & is traumatized? What makes you think she feels differently?

I really feel for this woman, but why the hell is this article placing such an emphasis on her father’s feelings?

Her father - he of the no “elective abortions” - voted for the people that did this to her. She loved him enough to include him in the delivery room- suggesting that she probably shared his beliefs. He held out hope that the torture he put his daughter through would result in a “miracle” and was willing to gamble his daughter’s life on it. Instead, the doctors were right, God failed to show, and the whole experience resulted in utter devastation and unnecessary trauma for a family and their 4 year old. This woman is fortunate she survived her ordeal, many do not.

How many stories about dumb Republican white women do we have to read? Yes, the suffering is the point. No, they don’t care until it happens to them. Yes, it’s a tragedy but maybe we need more like these to happen to people who chose this result instead of innocent people who didn’t.

Where does it say either of them voted R? Quote that, if they did.

Unfortunately, any mothers and fathers who don't want to see their baby, who wasn't going to live, slowly slowly die in agonizing pain need to leave the red states ASAP.

It's horrid.

You’re not interested at all as you didn’t bother to read the article, although neither did OP. The mother is quoted amply and it was the grandfather who made the remark about the law creating torture.

Because unfortunately, it requires an appeal to men's feelings to actually coerce action for an issue that impacts women. See the people handing out decisions for us handmaidens, frequently not a vagina among them.

You are right.. it was the grandfather. Either way, even a man sees the arcane abortion law as "torture".

Father is a registered Republican. Internet also has him saying he was married in a Catholic Church. Along with the aside in the article about his “feelings on elective abortion”, I think it’s quite clear where Dad lands on the pro choice scale.

It’s going to take terrible outcomes for millions before the “the only moral abortion is my abortion” crowd puts two and two together.
