In a frightening story from the nuttiest of the nutbag states, Florida, comes the news that a pregnant woman was confined to bed rest, against her will, by her doctor because the God-botherer was more concerned about the unborn fetus being miscarried than the well-being of the woman's other two post-birth fetuses. When the woman asked for a second opinion about her condition her doctor refused and contacted State authorities instead, who ordered her confined, and also authorized the doctor to use any procedure he felt like prescribing.
Think about that for a second ladies, according to the State of Florida it is okay for them to force you into hospital, and have the doctor perform any procedure on your person without your consent, if the unborn zygote you are carrying "might" be in danger. No second opinions, no right to appeal, just get your ass to bed and stay there until you deliver the baby.
The fetus was delivered stillborn in a forced cesarean section three days after the mother was admitted, and she promptly sued the state for violating her rights. Not surprisingly the right-wing Florida court ruled against her, but on appeal the Florida State Court of Appeals affirmed her rights had been violated and sided against the doctor and the lower court.
So, in a nutshell, the state imprisoned her, forced her to have invasive surgery, and then had the lower courts back them up. I'm sorry, are you fucking kidding me? Remind me, what country is this again?
This is stunning to me. I cannot comprehend that in this day and age women are being treated simply as baby delivery devices and not much else. These are very dangerous times and you ignore the risks at your peril.
Stay informed and stay involved.
