On May 7, after an induction and 15 hours of intense labor, Andres gave birth to a stillborn baby girl. The baby weighed 8 pounds and 13 ounces.

[...]

Andres was told that maternity leave does not apply to people in her situation, but instead is used for people who "give birth and care for a healthy newborn baby."

HR person here, you don't lead with that. You lead with "Hey we heard what happened, we're here to offer you FMLA, take your time in filling it out and we'll just assume you're taking the full 12 weeks". If they didn't offer it, they super fucked up.

Excuse me, but "a healthy baby"?

Anyone could have a child that doesn't turn out healthy, but is perfectly capable of living a life.

And yet people still move to this state and Florida in droves. Liberal people from California. I don't understand why people keep moving to Texas with it's terrible social pact and power issues. The businesses only move there because the workers are there too.

Being the details aren't known, it's hard to know if the mother knew it was a non viable pregnancy, if she received prenatal care, etc.

This is what the majority votes for, unfortunately....which includes many women.
