[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We also know they were both young and possibly did not understand how insurance could help. Maybe they thought the nearly $300 out of his paycheck was too much.

I don’t know what happened there, but there are plenty of scenarios that don’t mean he was a loser.

Should they have gotten her enrolled in a healthcare plan? Of course. But that is us looking at it from the outside, judging them after the fact, not having the full story/all the details.

I know people want to find someone to blame. It’s easy to blame the person we know so little about. But, really, in the end, it was so many little things that added up to disaster based on what we know.[/quote]

Everyone is blaming the state of Texas. Texas would have paid for her medicaid. [/quote]

I think it didn’t help the situation to be in TX[/quote]

She was having pregnancy complications and had no health insurance. What would have been different in another state?[/quote]

It always better to have all of the information regarding your health. 
Women are not entitled to that in Texas.[/quote]

This woman didn’t want an abortion. She didn’t need an abortion. She needed health insurance and medication and treatment.

Not one article I have read about this situation said she wanted an abortion or an abortion would have saved her life as her condition was treatable with medication and bed rest. [/quote]

Now looking back as a dead woman with a dead fetus, do you think she would have said yes to an abortion if she had actually been told it was an option in her 1st trimester when she initially had some complications?[/quote]

Her body, her choice. Right?[/quote]

She didn't have a choice though. If she had an actual choice and turned it down then of course. If you are on the brink of dying and are offered a life-saving treatment but say no, that is your choice, 100%, absolutely we agree on that. People can turn down life-saving treatment. That is their right, which is why we have DNRs. A very important thing.

She was never offered a choice, though. No doctor ever got to counsel her on all the options that women in states with abortion rights get - you know that's true, right? So ultimately it doesn't matter how much she wanted that pregnancy, and yes she did. But lots of women with wanted pregnancies ultimately choose to end them when they are faced with a grim situation and doctors explain the outcome and the options. I was one of them. I got to choose.
