[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Luling is 51 minutes away from Austin, the state capitol. There are good hospitals in Austin. With her Tricare health insurance, she could have obtained specialized pregnancy care just 51 miles away, from a good liberal doctor in a good liberal city.

This woman didn’t need a therapeutic abortion to treat a high risk, wanted, pregnancy. She needed to be enrolled in Tricare then given appropriate treatment from her ob-gyn in Austin, who could have managed her pregnancy so that both she and her baby could have lived, and had the happy lives they deserved.

But instead, she and her baby died and her husband left town with her car. And people here are just sure she should have aborted her baby because Texas is a draconian sanctuary for evil republicans who enjoy death and suffering.

Dependents of Military personnel who are enrolled in Tricare can also be eligible for Medicaid. Tricare will pay first, and Medicaid will be responsible for whatever amount Tricare does not cover. This dead woman, on the surface, was possibly eligible for both Tricare and Medicaid. Why she had neither is really unexplained and a tragedy for her, her daughter, and her family.

She didn’t need an abortion and didn’t need to die. She suffered greatly before her death and had the correct paperwork been submitted, she would not have had to work while dying to cover the costs of her care, hospitalizations, and medication. I don’t think her death is a good illustration of reasons why women in Texas are suffering from lack of access to abortion. [/quote]

You really are obsessed with that car, aren't you?

And sure, let's say this woman made a lot of bad choices so she deserved to die, as you seem to be suggesting.

What about the women who make all the "right" choices and would like to have a therapeutic abortion because they aren't willing to risk their life for whatever personal reason they have -- are you suggesting that choice should NOT be available to them? yes or no, it's a simple answer. Thanks.[/quote]

This woman did absolutely nothing wrong. She deserved to have a safe pregnancy and delivery. She deserved to give birth to her beautiful baby girl and raise her baby with joy and love with her family in Luling. Period.

She was eligible for medicaid, and probably Tricare. Either one or both of those programs would have been sufficient. They would have  covered all of her medical care and medications. She should have had access to an ob-gyn that specialized in high risk pregnancy in Austin, 51 miles away.

She should have been on doctor recommended bed rest instead of working while dying, caring for a quadriplegic patient. She could not even care for herself, much less a severely disabled person.

You don’t care about this specific woman, and her death, and her daughter’s death. Those details aren’t important because she didn’t want an abortion, even though everyone posting on dcum has decided that was her solution. Oh yes, the highly trained and specialized abortion advocates posting on dcum just KNOW she needed an abortion.

This poor woman and her baby are being used to advocate for something that would not have helped her get what she wanted and deserved: her baby. But you all will dig in and keep harping and harping about abortion in this poor dead woman’s memory. [/quote]

Where's your call for universal paid sick leave so that women like this patient can actually afford the bed rest recommended by their doctors? I did not see it in your post.[/quote]
