I’m a native Atlantan and a Black woman and this bothers me in a way I almost cannot describe.

Not only do these Right Wing nuts not give a damn about a brain-dead Black mother and the child in her womb, but they used this young woman as an incubator just to prove a point.

Before 1973 actress Debbie Reynolds had to carry around a dead baby in her womb because there were no legal abortions then. For those who don’t understand, please know that a dead body is actually toxic. Finally around the 7th or 8th month, doctors finally aborted Reynolds dead baby.

This is the shit women go through.

The laws had nothing to do with this. It was the hospitals decisions. Instead of listening to sensationalized reporting, do your own research. Blame the hospitals. Blame the doctors. Place blame where blame where it is due. Doctors and hospitals are sending women home knowing they are going to die when they know they can legally treat and hiding behind a law that says they can make the decision. They know it.
