A pregnant teenager died after trying to get care in three visits to Texas emergency rooms

Now on Crain’s third hospital visit, an obstetrician insisted on two ultrasounds to “confirm fetal demise,” a nurse wrote, before moving her to intensive care. By then, more than two hours after her arrival, Crain’s blood pressure had plummeted and a nurse had noted that her lips were “blue and dusky.” Her organs began failing.

Hours later, she was dead.
...
Texas’s abortion ban threatens prison time for interventions that end a fetal heartbeat, whether the pregnancy is wanted or not. It includes exceptions for life-threatening conditions, but still, doctors told ProPublica that confusion and fear about the potential legal repercussions are changing the way their colleagues treat pregnant patients with complications.

This is pro life?

There should be prison time for every legislator who voted for it as well as Abbot and Ken Paxton.

I don't understand why we don't let them secede and build the wall at Oklahoma. I wonder if there's some way we could trick Mexico into taking them back

Well Trump’s already outsourcing there.

Former President Donald Trump’s social media company outsourced jobs to workers in Mexico even as Trump publicly railed against outsourcing on the campaign trail and threatened heavy tariffs on companies that send jobs south of the border.

The firm’s use of workers in Mexico was confirmed by a spokesperson for Trump Media, which operates the Truth Social platform. The workers were hired through another entity to code and perform other technical duties, according to a person with knowledge of Trump Media. The reliance on foreign labor was met with outrage among the company's own staff, who accused its leadership of betraying their “America First” ideals, the person said.

The outsourcing to Mexico helped prompt a recent whistleblower letter from staff to Trump Media’s board that has been roiling the company.

That complaint, reported by ProPublica last month, calls for the board to fire CEO Devin Nunes, a former Republican congressman. The letter alleges he has “severely” mismanaged the company. It also asserts the company is hiring “America Last” — with Nunes imposing a directive to hire only foreign contractors at the expense of “American workers who are deeply committed to our mission.”

After their son came out, this conservative Christian couple went into a closet of their own

“There is no hate like Christian love.”
...
“We didn’t realize the harm we were doing,” Lynn says. “When you find out your child is gay in that environment, it’s overwhelming. I hate to say it, but I was also looking at myself. I was thinking, ‘This is disruptive. What is my life going to look like now? ’ ’’
...
Still, Greg Jr. refused to be “fixed.”

A Christian counselor once asked him, “Don’t you want to go to heaven?”

“Not if you’re there,” Greg Jr. said.
...
“I felt I had to choose between loving God and loving my child,” she says.
...
“The reality is that I didn’t care anymore what my friends and co-workers thought,” he says. “I was far more concerned about my son and having a relationship with him.”
...
“It was as much of a choice for Greg Jr. to be gay as it was for me to have brown hair.”
...
“Bottom line, that version of Christianity draws lines. And Jesus drew circles,” Stanley said. “He drew circles so large and included so many people in his circle that it consistently made religious leaders nervous.”
...
“They chose love over dogma,” he says. “The whole premise of their ministry is, ‘We’re not trying to tell you how to interpret scripture. But the bottom line is, love your child, stay in a relationship with them and go on the journey with them.’”
...
After they discovered their son was gay, the McDonalds prayed to God that He would change him.

Their prayers were answered, they say — just not in the way they expected.

God changed them instead.

This sucks but you can count on elon to look for the soundbite and ignore the parts of the story that don't fit his agenda.

Why was Peanut the squirrel confiscated and euthanized? All about the controversy

According to the DEC and the Chemung County Department of Health, Fred and Peanut were euthanized after a person involved with the investigation was bitten by Peanut.

"To test for rabies, both animals were euthanized," they said in a joint statement. "The animals are being tested for rabies and anyone who has been in contact with these animals is strongly encouraged to consult their physician."

Kind of like the jack booted thugs that mullah deconkis sent to intimidate supporters of Florida's abortion ballot measure?

Interesting that you and MAQA yahoos care more about the life of a squirrel than you do about the lives of Josseli Barnica, Nevaeh Crain, Candi Miller, and Amber Thurman.

I know I care more about the squirrel

Because he knows he has nothing and he's trying to bait you into posting information protected by HIPAA so that they can send the jack booted thugs after whoever leaked it to take attention away from the people they are murdering.

I know. It’s just really weird to want medical records for a young woman who died for zero reasons.

Nope. You said “Post the medical records”.

I simply asked “why?”

Post them where? They belong to her family. Why would you or the public have a need or right to see them? Cause of death is a public record included on death certificates.

The exchange on this is right up there ^^^ for you to review if needed.

You’re getting weirder by the post. Just trying to help you sort through things.

Dude…you want them to show the dead girl’s medical records for what? It’s widely reported how she died. It’s likely on her public death certificate. Are you a medical examiner investigating the cause? ?:

This was just a few posts up. I know it’s hard to keep track of all the crazy or where you were trying to go with it but sheesh.

Self-awareness indeed.

Look, Spanky…

I get triggered by things like steak and salmon cooked past medium rare, red turf jokes, Journey’s Don’t Stop Believin’ being played during timeouts, and CAA - SoCon poll bias.

I do not get triggered by senseless, imaginary MAGA gotcha points that go nowhere.
