[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We won’t really know what her choice was, because she didn’t have one.
I remember reading an article about a Covid denier who rode his bike to Sturgis, before there was an available vaccine.
He felt super good about his choice on his ride out to the rally. He literally said if he died, well so be it, he was doing what he loved. 
Cut to him in the ICU a month later. He didn’t want to die was regretting his decision. 
But at least he had a choice. 
Was this woman made aware of the risks and consequences? I’m skeptical. 
Keeping women in the dark about their circumstances and the best medical advice isn’t pro life.[/quote]

We do know what this woman thought:

“Leticia wasn’t as sure, recalling something Yeni said in passing after her improvement in the Austin I.C.U.: that if a doctor had to choose between saving her or saving Selene, her daughter should come first. Leticia had responded, half in jest, “And who exactly is going to take care of Selene?” “Well, you, Mami!” Yeni said. “Me?” Leticia teased. “If you leave, you better take Selene with you!” Laughing, the women laid the subject to rest, never to discuss it again."“

This loving mother told her mom her baby girl came first.

I really don’t know what you want to happen after a pregnant woman tells her own mother her baby comes first. The doctors to hold her down and an anesthesiologist administer general sedation and the medical team remove her healthy baby by force?

If anyone reads the linked article, they can read that this woman was morbidly obese, had diabetes, other significant health problems, was not enrolled in the medicaid program she was entitled to be receiving healthcare benefits from, working a physical job while very sick and pregnant, and unable to afford her needed medication because she was not enrolled in medicaid.

Her husband (who left town with her car after her and their baby girl’s death, weird) should have taken control of the situation and helped his wife enroll in medicaid and supported her financially while she was working and desperately ill. It’s a messed up situation that unfortunately ended in this woman and her baby dying. She didn’t want an abortion.

Pretty soon, news stories about pregnant women being killed by their husbands and boyfriends (which happens all too often tragically, it’s scary) and democrats will be blaming their deaths on their inability to get abortions After all, if the women could have only killed their unborn babies, their husbands/boyfriends wouldn’t have had to kill them.[/quote]

How was it a choice when she wasn’t given the option to end the pregnancy or deliver it after 23 weeks when it might have been viable? That’s not a choice. Did her doctors tell her when she was first having serious problems in her pregnancy that she should consider terminating? No they did not because they are in Texas where that is illegal.

If she had been given the option of terminating or delivering early, and she said no, fair enough. That would be her choice.

Why is it so hard for you to understand that in states like Texas women especially poor women have no choice?

Women are not offered abortions by their ob-gyns or family doctors because they are obese and/or diabetic. [/quote]

No but when they have a life-threatening pregnancy they are. Except in Texas and other red states. [/quote]
