This is a horrifying travesty inflicted by the state on this woman, the child and their family. The fact that her (effective) corpse was used as a forced gestation machine is just another terrifying manifestation of the far-right misogynist, forced-birth/natalist and fascist that is being established in the US. Of course, the state is more than happy to wash their hands of the incident and pass on the cost of this procedure to the family. The point of the agenda is not to care for or nuture children, but to use force childbirth as a way to control women.

Welcome to c/news! We aim to foster a book-club type environment for discussion and critical analysis of the news. Our policy objectives are:
-
To learn about and discuss meaningful news, analysis and perspectives from around the world, with a focus on news outside the Anglosphere and beyond what is normally seen in corporate media (e.g. anti-imperialist, anti-Zionist, Marxist, Indigenous, LGBTQ, people of colour).
-
To encourage community members to contribute commentary and for others to thoughtfully engage with this material.
-
To support healthy and good faith discussion as comrades, sharpening our analytical skills and helping one another better understand geopolitics.
We ask community members to appreciate the uncertainty inherent in critical analysis of current events, the need to constantly learn, and take part in the community with humility. None of us are the One True Leftist, not even you, the reader.
Newcomm and Newsmega Rules:
The Hexbear Code of Conduct and Terms of Service apply here.
-
Link titles: Please use informative link titles. Overly editorialized titles, particularly if they link to opinion pieces, may get your post removed.
-
Content warnings: Posts on the newscomm and top-level replies on the newsmega should use content warnings appropriately. Please be thoughtful about wording and triggers when describing awful things in post titles.
-
Fake news: No fake news posts ever, including April 1st. Deliberate fake news posting is a bannable offense. If you mistakenly post fake news the mod team may ask you to delete/modify the post or we may delete it ourselves.
-
Link sources: All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body. If you are citing a Twitter post as news, please include the Xcancel.com (or another Nitter instance) or at least strip out identifier information from the twitter link. There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance, such as Libredirect or archive them as you would any other reactionary source.
-
Archive sites: We highly encourage use of non-paywalled archive sites (i.e. archive.is, web.archive.org, ghostarchive.org) so that links are widely accessible to the community and so that reactionary sources don’t derive data/ad revenue from Hexbear users. If you see a link without an archive link, please archive it yourself and add it to the thread, ask the OP to fix it, or report to mods. Including text of articles in threads is welcome.
-
Low effort material: Avoid memes/jokes/shitposts in newscomm posts and top-level replies to the newsmega. This kind of content is OK in post replies and in newsmega sub-threads. We encourage the community to balance their contribution of low effort material with effort posts, links to real news/analysis, and meaningful engagement with material posted in the community.
-
American politics: Discussion and effort posts on the (potential) material impacts of American electoral politics is welcome, but the never-ending circus of American Politics© Brought to You by Mountain Dew™ is not welcome. This refers to polling, pundit reactions, electoral horse races, rumors of who might run, etc.
-
Electoralism: Please try to avoid struggle sessions about the value of voting/taking part in the electoral system in the West. c/electoralism is right over there.
-
AI Slop: Don't post AI generated content. Posts about AI race/chip wars/data centers are fine.

This is horror film material. Except it is real life. 
I feel as though there’s a situation where this outcome is desired but to have the emotional and medical costs mandated by the government is straight up biotech horror vulgarity.
Georgia's Republican Attorney General Chris Carr clarified in a statement that the state's law doesn't compel medical professionals to maintain life support for a woman declared brain dead.
"Removing life support is not an action 'with the purpose to terminate a pregnancy,'" Carr explained.
Even if he’s not straight up lying, it’s not the AG’s call to make. If some local prosecutor wants to go full hog and bring charges against a hospital, it’ll be the courts that determine the purpose of the action and who knows what they’ll decide.
One time I suggested revoking consent for organ donation en masse as a form of protest but it got deleted as reactionary. But I can't help but imagine the stark contrast in keeping the braindead woman's corpse alive to use the uterus and then not use the other organs. It would be a fun dialogue (at the cost of someone's well-being)
it got deleted as reactionary
Im not a fan of people who go "any opinion i disagree with is reactionary" and use that as the basis to delete shit, especially on a fucking shitposting site
