The state of Florida put this family through sadistic torture to force the birth of an infant with no chance of survival.

Will the state pay the medical bills that their "insurance" rejected? Yeah, right.

Cruelty on top of cruelty.

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.

@dangillmor
They must sue. Punitive damages for pain and suffering. We are going to have to litigate our way through these aggressive and destructive laws. It is the only way. Waiting and hoping for the best outcome from the next election cycle no longer works.

@noondlyt @dangillmor Agree. Sue the state and Ron DeSantis. I'm curious how people are dealing with the lack of medical coverage for hospital stays,etc. Insurance companies typically only cover approved treatment, which would be an abortion. I forget the phrase they use for "unnecessary procedures", but any and all billing after that would be billed to the tortured family.
