there's another thread about outsiders' criticisms of lemmy, and one of the comments mentioned that it's "unwelcoming to right wing viewpoints"

I WONDER FUCKING WHY

This is fucking barbaric. The hospital let her sit for 40 hours with a fetus hanging out of her uterus. Just take a moment to imagine what that alone must have felt like aside from the emotional horror of losing a pregnancy. We wouldn't even imagine treating pets or livestock this way but it's clear that these repugnant forced-birthers don't consider women to be people. One little pill to speed up the labor that her body already decided was needed was all that was required to keep this woman alive. What's the point of even having healthcare when we can't rely on it.

A texas woman didn't die, a texas woman was murdered by the state's ignorant, bigoted, christo-fascist policy - abbott, patrick, cruz, gohmert, that cock eyed AG and the rest of them along with every complicit texas republican voter... they all have blood on their cowardly hands.

And Republicans will never care about it. Fucking ghouls.

Many noted a striking similarity to the case of Savita Halappavanar, a 31-year-old woman who died of septic shock in 2012 after providers in Ireland refused to empty her uterus while she was miscarrying at 17 weeks. When she begged for care, a midwife told her, “This is a Catholic country.” The resulting investigation and public outcry galvanized the country to change its strict ban on abortion.

But in the wake of deaths related to abortion access in the United States, leaders who support restricting the right have not called for any reforms.

My country's aptitude for remaining entirely unmoved by preventable tragedies that utterly upend political trajectories in other nations has become one of our most globally defining traits.

Disgusting that a life was lost over a "person" that would have never existed. This is doing wonders for the birthrate they are so worried about. I wonder if they just assumed this only effects the poors cause wealthier people would go to less restricted hospitals.

Vote Kamala Harris and your sisters, wives and daughters might stop dying for lack of health care when pregnant. Allow Trump to regain power and it will get much, much worse for the women you care about.

This avoidable and preventable death brought to you by "pro life" partisans.

All life is sacred, except when its not

Republicans: “God’s will.”

As long as there was no abortion, their view is she deserves it.

Pro lifers kill again. They rate the right to live of potential life higher than someone who has been here for 28 years. Someone who left a husband and a child behind. I have to accept I hate pro lifers for the harm they cause. There is no justice in this world as long as these inhuman and barbaric laws are killing people. Real people, not potential people.

The hospital should be sued for death from negligence

Leaving Children without a Mother while also killing the Fetus is called being PRO LIFE and PROTECTING THE CHILDREN!

What the actual fuck. This is horrendous.

Pro-life crowd, I thought you were supposed to keep life, not end it.

Now there's a man who's a widow, a child without a mother, and a lady who died all for literally nothing.

Fuckin' hell.

It's 2024. What the fuck america

I see stories like this a lot and can't believe it. My wife was in a similar situation and had to get an emergency dnc, and still came close to dying from sepsis.

The doctors were so on it, we waited in the ER for a while because they were packed but as soon as they took her blood and realized what was going on she was in surgery within the hour.

Our son want even 2 at the time. If we were 30 minutes west she would've died. It's absolutely fucking wild.

How could anyone think this is right?

Both sides are the same. It can't be any worse with the Republicans in office, so just don't vote. That'll show 'em. /s

This is worse than 'Thoughts and Prayers'.

A lot of elected officials - and their supporters - are accessories to the killing .

This is more like armed police waiting around outside a crime scene and actively preventing any attemp . . .

Texas politicians and anti-abortion death cultists murdered this poor woman.

Someone should go to prison for life over this. Jesus Christmas.

If you can't see how wrong this is, you are a broken person.
