Excellent point.

If the family can’t decide on treatment, the family can’t be held responsible for the bill. I’m sure they’ll try, but that family needs to sue the hell out of Georgia and anyone who comes after them for payment.

This case has shined a light on why everyone needs an advanced directive.

I just saw an update with the mother. I feel so terrible for her. Not only does she have to delay grieving her child, she is stressed about finances and showed where the bills are already piling up. And now the doctors believe the fetus will be born with significant challenges, which means even more expenses.

I cannot find the information/news you are referencing.

Where did you see this information?

“Doctors and lawyers at Emory Healthcare – but mainly the lawyers, I suspect – say that under Georgia’s anti-abortion law, they are required to keep Adriana’s body functioning as the fetus inside her develops. They are erring on the side of caution – not medical caution, but legal caution.

The law in question is the “Living Infants Fairness and Equality Act.” or the LIFE Act.

The main sponsor of that law, state Sen. Ed Setzler, R-Acworth, says it’s working as intended in this case.

“I’m proud that the hospital recognizes the full value of the small human life living inside of this regrettably dying young mother,” Setzler told the Atlanta Journal-Constitution. “Mindful of the agony of this young mother’s family, the wisdom of modern medical science to be able to save the life of a healthy unborn child is something that I trust in future years will lead to great joy, with this child having a chance to grow into vibrant adulthood.”

Proud as he might be, Setzler isn’t the one who has to watch what’s left of his daughter lay lifeless in that hospital room, not alive exactly, with machines performing basic life functions, week after week. He isn’t the one who has to explain what’s happening to his seven-year-old grandson, Adriana’s son. If the fetus survives, he also isn’t the one who will have to raise the child. Doctors have warned Adriana’s family that the fetus has fluid on its brain, with unknown consequences.”

I can’t imagine that the mother of the adult on life support would be responsible for her medical bills. Her husband should probably divorce her so the medical bills go to the by then deceased lady. I hope they are receiving legal help in this matter. The whole matter is terrifying and I feel terrible for the family.

If these pro life people are so religious why don’t they want the child to stay with its mother forever in Eternity vs. either dying a cruel unnecessary death or being born into a life of misery?

That's what they would think if they actually followed scripture.

Most pro lifers are in a right wing anti woman cult.

Just wait ladies of child bearing age, your family will also be made bankrupt so a potentially disabled fetus can have the chance of possibly being born and going through lots of pain in his / her short life!

The hospital does not have to keep the woman alive, as denying treatment is not the same as performing an abortion.

Right? Isn’t Jesus “calling them home”?

If she’s truly brain dead she’s been home with the Lord since her brain death.


You can sneer at people of faith all you want. It doesn’t make us any less faithful and it doesn’t make you any more likable

Unfortunately payment for forced care does happen, e.g., think of all the folks committed to mental hospitals -- it is not free for them. They are on the hook.

I thought it was about having a heartbeat?

I’m not sure why you think it matters to me if you like me, or why I would care about your faithfulness. What I care about is not treating women like breeders and how much other damage “pro lifers” have done to our country and society by falling for this wedge issue.

This incident and the gross comments from republicans about Biden just show that the GOP is no longer a political party. This is just inhumane and cruel and anyone who is okay with this is completely broken.

God forbid any of us are ever in this situation, but in my mind, the state has taken on the responsibility and can provide the care.

The whole pro-life farce is astounding. Don't let them force you into lifelong servitude for it.
