A Florida woman was denied an abortion for her fetus with Potter syndrome which meant no survival outside the womb. She had to carry until 37 weeks & then go through labor, delivery, baby's death, funeral. ‘The law has created torture.’

After being denied an abortion, a Florida mother watched her baby die

Milo Evan Dorbert, whose mother’s pregnancy tested the interpretation of Florida’s new abortion law, was born with a fatal abnormality. He lived 99 minutes.

Women must be punished for failing to bring forth healthy children, according to Republicans.

"It didn’t occur to her that fallout from the US Supreme Court’s decision to overturn a half-century constitutional right to abortion would affect them.

A routine ultrasound halfway through her pregnancy changed all that."

@ZhiZhu @amydiehl it’s kind of mind blowing to me that people think the GoP revoking the rights of a minority they belong to won’t effect them. Like, are you an alien? How can you think that being a woman and supporting a party who wants to deny your bodily autonomy won’t effect you?!

@amydiehl It's so awful. Taking something that would already have been a tragedy for them and maximising the pain of it, making sure that pain went on as long as possible and hurt as many people as possible, and cost as much as possible.

The effect on their older son is direct evidence that the people who make these laws don't care at all about actual living, breathing children.

@beecycling @amydiehl of course not. If they gave a shit about actual children they’d’ve supported firearms regulations the first time an elementary school got shot up and more than a dozen little kids were murdered.
