(17,980 posts)I am truly sorry for any pain it may cause her family, but this needs to be spread far and wide!
Otoh, if they're like a lot of people, they may want to shout this from the rooftops. Either way, it needs to be out there.

(9,510 posts)The whole country was outraged, and the law was changed. Now the inevitable happened here. And the pro-life assholes will say she should have kept her legs closed.
I hope her family has good lawyers. The state committed wrongful death. Why mince words - murder.

(17,980 posts)They like to do that whenever something awful happens as the result of these abortion bans. I'm sure it's much more convenient for them than actually learning the facts about what these bans do. /s
If you ever get curious about the kinds of mental contortions rabid forced birthers twist themselves into to justify their absolutist "no abortion ever!" stances, I recommend checking out https://www.reddit.com/r/insaneprolife/
That's a subrreddit where pro-choicers who have the stomach to hang out on "pro life" subreddits share some of the more outrageous things that are posted by forced birthers. I've learned a lot about how forced birth extremists think from reading r/insaneprolife. They're even crazier than I thought!

(9,510 posts)But Ive gotten into arguments on Quora where the pro-life idiots call these facts propaganda. Do they need photos of a woman bleeding out? Her dead body? This should be front-page news leading every network newscast tonight.

(34,738 posts)I actually couldn't get the story from the OP link. Yahoo has rewritten this to focus on Kamala Harris' comments concerning the unfortunate woman's death in Georgia.
This IS an important story, and I've found that Yahoo links are sometimes flaky. It's better to click through to the original source for the story whenever possible.
