I can’t comment on that because there are no facts. I need an investigation to be done and I need all the facts before I can discuss anything. |
But do you think it's worthy of prosecuting as a felony? Do you really, truly think that is a good use of resources to go after a woman who apparently has little means and had twice gone to the hospital knowing there was something wrong with her pregnancy? Do you even know anything about her circumstances? |
So this is the initial quotation from the first linked article:
"Went on [with] her day" doesn't actually mean anything. It *sounds* like it does -- it has some sort of vibe of not caring, of being dismissive. But it doesn't actually mean anything. If she went to work as she usually did but caried in the bathroom every hour, with rags stuck in her underwear to catch the bleeding -- yeah, that's still going on with her day. So is anything else you can imagine. It's an unassailable "fact," much like "it is what it is" or "so it goes." But people are using it like a cudgel in this thread at the same time they are castigating others for not being straightforward. They are relying quite heavily on the connotation while also relying on the reality that the denotation can't be pinned down at all. It's what you do when you don't have a real argument to make. Smoke and mirrors. |
And more made up sh¡t. You’re really doubling down aren’t you? |
Hey Pollyanna, I know it’s really hard to hear to understand how the criminal justice system works, but guess what the “good guys” lie |
Was it felony level “unacceptable”? |
Well girlfriend, you better get at it and start prosecuting all those miscarriages that have been flushed down the toilet. Also, you might want to start a campaign to have them given baptisms, and last rights and funerals |
Oh the irony! I am the “let’s wait for the facts” poster that hasn’t posted anything at all about “going on with her day” because we don’t have the facts about that either. |
DP. So what exactly does "went about her day" MEAN? |
No thanks. I’m good. |
I meant the women sharing their experiences. Was it just a normal day for them after the baby was out? |
Or about the drugs comment. |
We’ll know that when we, you know, have all the facts. Which we, you know, DON’T have right now. |
So ... that post must not be about you. Is everything about you, even if you weren't the person referenced? Main character syndrome indeed. |
I've had 15 week and 11 weeks miscarriages that I never miscarried naturally. So in the time between being given the news baby has no heartbeat and D&C I've had to go about my day like nothing happened. Why would I tell business contacts that it's the literal worst day if my life? My MIL was a TOTAL b&tch to me, during the holidays because she didn't know that just 4 days before I had surgery to remove my baby. She thought I was a lazy, POS, and didn't understand why I wasn't picking up my child that she voluntarily held and my husband could have held. Trust ME. I've been ther we for the absolute worst in people not understanding what you are going through. But sure, just went about my f&cking day. |
