Christian Taliban
How many more women will bin a kid like shoes. idk ask nyc where more black kids are killed then born.
Lol Texas voted, numbnutz. 🤡
Many.
A lot.
Amanda I am so sorry you had to go through this much heartbreaking pain, stand strong, keep your hope and health up, we will fight with you.
@Barron 🎑 Ridge “brainwashed” aka people who disagree with me politically
Can’t women control whether or not a man ejaculates inside of them? I’ve never had a man ejaculate inside of me. 🤷
@John Jones There is an agenda behind it obviously. You know how many times CNN has been straight up caught lying? I bet you’re a Biden voter. Pathetic and unable to think for themself.
@Barron 🎑 Ridge That’s TROLLING.
@Lea Garner *COOL* 😎👍
HOW BARBARIC!! IS THE CORRECT WORDS. PRAYERS AND LUV FROM ONTARIO, CANADA.
Exactly! I was thinking that. I have read recently about a ritual in the middle east where by their laws they have a ritual of doing a procedure on preteens to prepare them for marriage and sex.! The only thought that came to my mind was barbaric,! Now our nation will start doing barbaric things to women! And you are letting this happened,! !!
I am so sorry to both of you and your baby. Willow is a beautiful name. This is because of politicians and doctors Running Scared. My mom had sepsis and died. I’m so happy you lived. Peace and love.
@Barbara Maroney Of being prosecuted, sued, and losing their medical licenses. Texas law allows outsiders to sue a doctor that provides an abortion. There isn’t a clear definition of the breakpoint between legal and non-legal abortion.
Gayle, thanks for sharing. So sorry for the loss of your mother.
So sorry for your loss…
Sorry, this has got nothing to do with doctors..or nurses..this is all on those people that voted republican politicians into power..dud they think Republicans care about them, no…the people are just voting cattle
@Barbara Maroney scared of prosecution, scared if accountability.
No government should get involved in such a delicate, and private issue. Women would be encarcerated for political power, if it wasn’t for the Democratic Party who has worked none stop to secured woman’s protection from unscrupulous politicians, like Herschel Walker…
A preservative protects better than a demo
It’s just awful what Amanda and Josh went through. It’s tragic that she might never be able to have a child. And I know this isn’t the only case like this. The government has no business interfering in a woman’s medical decisions.
@Wayne Renee laws
@cheerilyEERIE 1:37 finally, when her temp reached 103, her doctors terminated the pregnany. You cant terminate a pregnancy if the baby is already passed. At that point its a late miscarriage or spontaneous abortion in medical terms. How do these kids today pass comprehension tests? Im a midwife. Let me share with you what we do in these cases. Woman comes in with PROM (look that up), then the cervix is promptly checked for dilation, which is what puts women at risk for infection because it introduces bacteria directly to the OS (look that up). They then routinely monitor baby and start IV antibiotics and drugs to slow any contractions down. I can guarantee you there was more to this story that cnn isnt telling you. Im not surprised though. Cnn is a communist rag bent on total leftist agendas. In no instance did there need to be a medical abortion in this case. No cervical exams and IV antibiotics started immediately would have prevented this babes loss because the body replenishes the fluids and bags can reseal themselves is left tf alone. The infection was caused by the medical team and lack of proper care. These parents need to go after them and not become mouthpieces for the destruction of the next generation. And just in case you missed it…. Abortions cause septic shock, perforations of the uterus and scar tissue. Think about that before you rub the 2 braincells you have together to make a thought and speak it. 😂
@Wayne Renee don’t be stupid
Clearly you don’t understand
@Wayne Renee nobody cares about Christians. Jesus would hate modern Christians
@Wayne Renee seriously Jesus Christ would not stand for the things that Christians these days stand for. You are not a good person or a true Christian because a real Christian would look at this issue with empathy and understanding. You are clearly too stupid to do that. If Jesus were alive today he would not associate with a majority of Christians
I’m so sorry for your pain and sorrow. I say bring suit to the Texas legislature that made this stupid law. It is barbaric.
Well, the law encourages anyone, even outside of Texas to sue a doctor and anyone who assists a woman to get an abortion. Maybe someone outside of Texas should sue the legislature.
Barbaric is being a irresponsible adult and killing a baby.
They call Texas The Lone Star State not because of what’s on our flag but because that’s what our state is rated……one star!
😂👍
Hi-yo!
Yep.
Also Republicans: “We don’t understand how we lost women and Gen Z in these midterm elections. . . “
Yeah, a real head-scratcher.
Exactly!
Incels.
They are a lonely angry bunch….
They’d have picked the most socialist alternatives no matter what. There are conservative parties all over the world that defends very liberal abortion policies and they still can’t win over the female vote.
So sad. This didn’t have to be this way. This story needs to be told so the law can be amended to protect Moms.
Wear some rubber and a life of an innocent being wouldn’t be trimmed apart
YES THESE. STORES. NEED TO. BE TOLD. .TY. FOR. WHOEVER’ FILMED THIS… WHAT A BEAUTIFUL FAMILY AND I JUST KNOW IF I COULD GIVE ANYONE ELSE A BABY. I WOULD… I’M PRAYING FOR YOU SWEETIE
How about just protecting woman’s medical privacy rights period, Mom or not.
Absolutely abhorrent. These laws are insane. Shame on anyone who pushed for this.
Duh the GOP and right tolifets!!
Impeach the Supreme Court!!!!
@nancy m ross Repeal the 19th amendment!!!
This is Christianity’s version of the Taliban.
One of my best friends died from sepsis two days after her child was born.
Pregnancy can be dangerous. I’m so sorry for her, her family, and your loss too.
Maybe should have aborted the baby to prevent it. 🙄
Was it retained placenta?
Sorry for your loss. I hope her child is well.
I’m so sad and angry. I think this whole situation is ridiculous
And Barbaric!
After being a republican for almost years 20, I’ll never vote for them again. This makes my blood boil.
20 yrs wow
And yet, most Texans still voted Abbott in as a governor!!
They will never learn!!!
Good
There has to be a law firm willing to take these cases pro bono & sue the States.
Nothing is going to change in Texas until businesses and more citizens affected by these extremist laws start standing up and speaking out to not only Abbott’s office but to the state’s courts as well. As long as you live in Texas with Abbott as governor, he will continue to force you to live by “his principles!” Blue voters need to start reaching out to rural and suburban Texas because those are the places that kept Abbott governor of Texas. He probably thinks you both are sinners and deserved what happened. Imagine someone running your state that thinks that way about you. 😢
I’m so sorry for your loss and heartbreak.
How many more lives will be at risk of being lost needlessly? How many more will suffer damage by these barbaric restrictions? How many more lives will be forever scared?
So sorry for your loss and your health issue. You telling your story helps so many more to understand the reality of the new law. Please know that the majority of Americans believe your heartbreaking story should never happen again. The blessing is that you both have each other and your Love is probably stronger as a result if your tragedy.
I had severe sepsis after getting some of my bowel removed. I was septic for 3 days and was told it was in my head. I prepared for death and everything. Told my parents not to come visit me that day. I was very very lucky because usually when sepsis symptoms shows itself, it’s already too late. Was revived 4 times in the OR
