Remembered this case that is getting public attention in Mexico. Queretaro, a state in the Bajio region of Mexico known by its conservative ideas, is using their attorneys to try to make a 14 yo child to pay 26,000 USD in damage repair to her rapist, because she suffered a miscarriage. The state attorneys also demand her to go to prison for three years.

Publicly, and in the media, the girl is called "Esmeralda". I'm sorry I couldn't find a note in English about this case. The thing in common between both situations is a corrupted institution that's supposed to protect the people.

politicians killed this girl as surely and as gruesomely as any serial killer.

Abandon All Things Texas as best you can.

Let the companies know (who might not have anything to do with this mess) that you cannot morally support tax revenue going to the government of Texass, and therefore can no longer support thier brand.

Bring pressure to bear. A dollar here and there will add up. I've even unsubscribed from TX based content creators.

Ken Paxton, the Texas Attorney General who is primarily responsible for the present situation, used to be my local state senator.

I specifically kept my voter registration in Texas during my college years so that I could continue to cast my vote against him. There is nothing good to say about that evil man.

I like Texas, and I hope that at some point we figure out how to govern it in a sane way, because I unfortunately cannot recommend living there right now.

Where were all the pro-lifers? Oh, that's right, they only care about you before birth. My mistake.

Not sure how doctors can willingly comply with this shit. Seems antithetical to the Hippocratic oath.

Ahhh shit. It's a young attractive white girl. They might actually pay attention to this one. Maybe...

Sad thing is that these stories don’t seem to get in front of the people who need to hear them. The media censorship in right wing media is as aggressive as the media censorship that they think exists in traditional media outlets.

Stop saying "died" - Another woman was MURDERED by ignorant texas bigots in their government and spiteful, irresponsible, freedom-hating voter base.

cruz, abbott, patrick, gohmert, cornyn and cock-eyed Ken the AG, along with trump, corrupt SCOTUS majority and the whole gop giving them cover, are soaked in this woman's blood.

She was a white woman, literally named heaven HEAVEN backwards, and she's still dead, you absolute cowards that voted to enable this. Y When will you realize that you're not safe from this, you're not different, you're not "one of the good ones" that will see some protections others won't. Go have someone read a short poem to you, commonly referred to as, "first they came for". There will be plenty of words in there you don't understand, but the gist is, YOU OR YOUR DAUGHTER ARE FUCKING NEXT UP - this dead teenager, who never saw her 20th birthday, is the latest Handmaid they throw on the wall as an example to others of what's coming.

There won't be an official announcement when christian fascism takes over your area or else there would have been one a while ago.

The US healthcare system is pathetic and massive dumpster fire. I'm certain the treatment Candance received was based on her healthcare insurance. The mother should file a lawsuit against the hospitals, Texas and the fucking red politicians who support the cheap shit insurance companies.

And necessary lose to keep feeding new workers into capitalism.

She did her part keeping the hospital beds available for more profitable patients. It's the American way. As long as our hospitals (and government) prioritize profits over health, there will be no end to these stories.

Absolutely horrifying.

The second ER diagnosed her with sepsis and then sent her home because her fetus had a heartbeat.

I'm disgusted. If you are a woman, you need to get the fuck out of these death trap states. It is not safe for you there.

Death after death after death. The GOP death cult is doing its job.

Around 1 in 5 pregnancies, that's 20%, end in miscarriage. There's a bit of a genetic lottery that is random within this crazy sensitive process of creating a baby. You can be doing everything right, but it doesn't matter. You can lose the pregnancy and many do. And then, statistically, their next pregnancy is healthy and without complication.

There's no fault to a person in this progress, just like there's no fault to how a flower grows - some have more pedals, some have crooked stems, some never grow and stay seeds in the ground. Texas killing this child for losing a pregnancy is akin to them having you roll a 5 sided dice and shooting anyone who lands on a "4" between the eyes.

Ignorance and fear rule the red areas on the US map. Of course those red areas are populated predominately by trees, lakes and mountains, all of which are likely more intelligent and empathetic than the few frightened human voters spattered throughout that share that very rural landscape.

Is there a database that collects these cases? I'm not from the US, but I think it would make a lot of sense to have a website that documents all those cases, so one could point people to it if necessary.

shame we cant do eye for an eye to those brainless wonders in austin

The people that voted for this shit have the biggest blinders on right now. I'm sure they're trying to ignore that anything has gone wrong.

I hope someone with enough money to make this a problem for the policy makers gets after this in court soon. The USA needs to either pass a federal law stating that abortion is legal, or they need a new roe v. Wade judgement on the books. Until one of those things happens, this continual and unnecessary loss of life will continue; it is inevitable.

For people who call themselves "pro-life" they sure don't give any shits about people continuing to live.

Anyone who is anti abortion, this is for you: 🖕

Sincerely,

• your horrified neighbor to the north.

We all predicted this would happen because we have a basic understanding of the world and a smidge of empathy. Unlike Republicans.

That'll teach those sinful women for daring to have sex without their owners' permission. Even stuff like this won't sway the committed republicunts since they can fall back on some bullshit about "god's plan" or find ways to turn it back on the victims of their politics.

Monstrous. Just monstrous.

This is exactly the goal of force birth policies.

Women who don't survive are considered weak and must be cleansed for Republicans' perfect society. It's eugenics. Killing women is the point, in the minds of Republicans every woman who dies deserves it.

Hey, remember that former Trump aide and professional jackass, John McEntee, who said he didn't see any evidence of women being injured as a result of anti-abortion laws? Funnily enough, he has been conspicuously silent on the subject since. Instead, he's now making "jokes" about repealing the 19th amendment. A real piece of work.

This is the future the Republicans want.
