There is a pic of her on the link by the grave of her baby. Acting all upset because she had to give birth and could not abort the child. Not upset the child died.
Her grief is understandable. I suspect that she had pro-abortion doctors who told her that it would be painful for her child to breathe those 4 hours that she lived, but I doubt that was the case. I suspect this mother suffered over fear of her child suffering because pro-abortion doctors wanted to milk her story for PR.
I think her grief was probably more for herself than for the baby. And there is grief, and just wanting to be able to move on, especially if you think the child isn’t really a person anyway because they lack a brain. But that’s where being surrounded by people who affirm the value of life would have been much more helpful to this woman than those who led her to believe that getting rid of the baby inside her would somehow lessen the grief.
Pregnancy is a confusing time, especially when there are complications. That’s why it is so important for a woman to have people around her who help her through it rather than try to milk the situation for a political statement.
Same thing happened with a woman in OR whose doctor wouldn’t give her medical care when she had bleeding at 17 weeks and eventually premature rupture of membranes. The woman very much wanted her baby and the standard of medical care is to watch, administer antibiotics to prevent infection in the baby, and possibly try to speed up lung development. But the dr just wanted her to abort and said he wouldn’t risk his medical license by delivering the baby early (which would actually have been allowable under OR law and which wasn’t yet necessary). So he sent her to Utah and when she woke up she found that her baby had been dismembered so she didn’t even get to hold him. Obviously she hadn’t consented because she didn’t even understand that her dr had sent her off so the baby could be deliberately killed instead of the doctors trying to help him live.
One thing this article talks about is how there are more infants dying because of birth defects, premature delivery, etc since TX’s pro-life law. All that means is that babies who would have been killed in the womb are instead being born, held by their grieving parents, and dying - perhaps after being Baptized. As one who lost her first child to stillbirth at 42 weeks I believe that being able to hold that precious child is helpful to a grieving process - especially if it was a process you were never going to avoid anyway.
