“One woman miscarried in the restroom lobby of a Texas emergency room as front desk staff refused to admit her. Another woman learned that her fetus had no heartbeat at a Florida hospital, the day after a security guard turned her away from the facility. And in North Carolina, a woman gave birth in a car after an emergency room couldn’t offer an ultrasound. The baby later died.”

“Complaints that pregnant women were turned away from U.S. emergency rooms spiked in 2022 after the U.S. Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade, federal documents obtained by The Associated Press reveal.”

“The cases raise alarms about the state of emergency pregnancy care in the U.S., especially in states that enacted strict abortion laws and sparked confusion around the treatment doctors can provide.”

    So does that mean a lawsuit now? Or jail?

    Not anyone at the hospitals of course, I mean those “wicked” women.

      That’s what i was thinking–this is only the beginning of their woes. They committed a crime by having a miscarriage, i imagine this isn’t the last we’ve heard of these stories

        Legit I remember hearing about an old court case once where somebody tried to sue god, but couldn’t because god wasn’t considered a citizen of the united states.

        I think there was also another one where the suit actually went through and the guy won because god didn’t show up to court. I don’t think he ended up receiving the reperations, though.
