Wait..... she had to have a legitimate and articulable threat to her life before she was allowed to end another? Who'da thunk it?

Did she die? Nope.
Was she ever in serious danger of dying? Not really.
But did the baby? Yep.
So they waited to make sure there was absolutely no other choice before ending a human life. Sounds pretty prudent to me.
If I have a choice between me getting stabbed, receiving immediate treatment, and suffering very minor complications for the rest of my life and no one else being harmed OR someone else being killed.... I take the stab wound all day everyday. Twice on Sunday.
Her health worsened? That tends to happen during pregnancy, even under the best of circumstances.
Was this, PARTICULAR, case tragic? Yes. Did the hospital maybe go an extra step in protecting themselves from liability? Probably. Did the baby die anyway? Yes.
Is that a reason to allow medically unnecessary abortion? Nope.
Balance the day of misery - while under expert care - and possible return trip for placental delivery / removal against the lives of countless unborn humans. Seems a pretty small price to pay as a society.

SFC Casey O'Mally - "The fever and chills were an indication of an infection and left untreated, sepsis is fatal, Gariepy (OB/GYN and assistant professor at Weill Cornell Medical College) told ABC News."
Your biased opinion indicates that you did not read the article. If you truly want to rebut something, actually read the argument. The woman's life was in danger due to the wait for two separate committees since Texas state policy placed politics over medical urgency.

LTC Eugene Chu I did read the article.
IF LEFT UNTREATED. Was it left untreated? Or, was she under constant care and monitoring?
She was not sent home and told to come back if it gets worse. She was admitted, treated, and monitored. Pregnancy, in and of itself, places the mother's life "in danger." A danger she not only welcomed, but actively sought treatment to court. So go away with your "in danger" BS.
This is not placing politics over medical urgency, it is placing the value of ALL human life over politics.

SFC Kelly Fuerhoff We get to declare our opinion is fact and void the other pre-emptively? Awesome.
Abortion is murder whether you agree or not.
Wow, that was easy. Don't know why I haven't been debating like that all my life.
Yes, I am a ginger. But contrary to popular myth, that does not mean I am soulless.
Before ending one human life, the one choosing to end it had to be legitimately in danger of their own. That is a pretty standard principle.
There is absolutely no discussion of her almost dying. None. Except by people arguing emotion rather than fact. She was in hospital under constant care and supervision. Only one human life ended in this story. And the hospital went to the greatest lengths possible to avoid that tragic result.
You say I have no soul because I want to prevent human lives from being ended unless absolutely necessary? If "having a soul" according to you means cheering for ending even a single human life, let alone thousands of them, without a true necessity, then I will be happy to be in that club.
I do not believe ANYBODY is soulless. But I do believe some folks' souls are heavier than others. I am good with where mine is at.......

Read the actual article. The woman was married and her pregnancy went awry. Instead of getting abortion for maternal health, she was forced to wait due to Texas state policy.
