Well off Republican Christian lives that can afford to go out of state for their moral abortion is sacred to them
And Republicans will never care about it. Fucking ghouls.
There’s always an acceptable number of deaths with the GOP. It’s just happens to be infinite when it comes to healthcare, pandemics, poverty, guns - basically anything that won’t result in punishing innocent brown people. In that case the number is extremely low.
Not only will they not care, they will dismiss it and joke about it. From the article (regarding a different woman who died from being denied life saving medical care):
Georgia Gov. Brian Kemp called the reporting “fear mongering.” Former President Donald Trump has not weighed in — except to joke that his Fox News town hall on women’s issues would get “better ratings” than a press call where Thurman’s family spoke about their pain.
Texas politicians and anti-abortion death cultists murdered this poor woman.
The hospital should be sued for death from negligence
The hospital's hands are tied by dystopian laws - this is what "pro life" looks like.
These are becoming way more common the more we let this right wing evil shit sink in.
I’m sorry but humans refusing to save the life of another human because of an obtuse law is unconscionable. They should have done what needed to be done and let the lawyers sort it out later.

By who, the state of Texas? This is what they want to happen.
Greg Abbott and Donald Trump should be sued for maliciously causing death.
The hospital was following Texas law. Any doctor who helped her would have been arrested.

Disgusting that a life was lost over a "person" that would have never existed. This is doing wonders for the birthrate they are so worried about. I wonder if they just assumed this only effects the poors cause wealthier people would go to less restricted hospitals.

Republicans: “God’s will.”
As long as there was no abortion, their view is she deserves it.
Its funny how religious people love invoking their holy books to justify hatred and violence while ignoring the parts explicitly saying to not judge others and that human life is more valuable then any commandment from god (also the torah/old testament allows abortion in many cases). Its almost as if those "religious people" don't care about religion and just want an excuse to hate.

Both sides are the same. It can't be any worse with the Republicans in office, so just don't vote. That'll show 'em. /s
Omfg I get it now... "All life is sacred" as in all life must feel the fearful embrace of God.
I was gonna put a "/s" at the end, but I'm honestly not too sure anymore... Seems like that's exactly what they want. Like what's the point if not the cruelty?
