Being the details aren't known, it's hard to know if the mother knew it was a non viable pregnancy, if she received prenatal care, etc.
This is what the majority votes for, unfortunately....which includes many women.
Per the article:
Finally:
What a horribly callous response from someone who obviously didn't read the article. What was the purpose of your comment and speculation?
This is such a cold editorial just further isolating someone who probably already feels lost and possibly alone in her situation.
Also from the article:
As long as we're gonna jump to conclusions, I'd venture a guess that as a young person working in public health in the most liberal city in this backwards state, she's probably not one of those women. Either way, pro-abortion or pro-life, I don't think "random infant death" was on the ballot. Yes, women's health was delivered a huge blow, but it's not the opinion of the majority.
Very well said, thank you. Too many people see this and think "Tough, but them's the rules" without consideration to the damage this family suffered, and that others in this state will also suffer unless things change.
