I just saw an anti-abortion group with signs on street in Federal Way WA

[Stargazer99]

Life is so valuable, my rear tail feathers! When my adult daughter applied for medical care with the statle of Washington she was told that she was $3 over the limit to acquire medical help. Her income was $700.00 per month. 2 months later she died from a condition that with medical care she would still be alive. Her death left a 14 year old without a mother. My daughter's life was worth $3.00, damn cheap in my book. And then I see the anti abortion group demonstrating. Where in the hell were you when my daughter's life was at stake? Oh, I see she wasn't pre-born. How deeply angry I am at this nation, the state of Washington. wish I had never been born in this country. Don't tell me to go to some undeveloped country, you damn conservatives who would never face a death like this, personally. At least if she had been born in Denmark, Norway, Germany, etc she would still be alive and a 14 yr old would never have faced her mother's death. Oh, and a doctor's office phoned me a week after her death (from a collection agency) looking for money.
Things like this happen because the basic human needs are not met and this nation pretends that it is the greatest thing on the planet, what a laugh!

1. That is such a horrible shame

I am so sorry for your loss

and I agree with you 1000% that these hypocrites only care about fetuses, not about born humans, or soldiers, or veterans, or the homeless, the sick, the suffering.

They would rather let a woman suffering a miscarriage die than allow medical people to help her. This is not respect for life. This is sick twisted pick-and-choose-the-life you-care-about.

2. I wish I had some words of consolation for you and your granddaughter

but I understand your righteous anger and I can guarantee you that the "Right-to-Lifers" would only have soothing words and smiles but no answers for you. (for your daughter).

[Triana]

3. I'm so sorry for what happened to your daughter. There's NO excuse for it.

None whatsoever.

4. Back in 1970, we fought so hard to get the abortion law thru.

At the same time fighting to get the ERA thru.
and when we won, we thought it was a done deal.

crap. Here it is all over again.

I notice it is never the have-nots who want to destroy all social programs...............

[Ilsa]

5. I'm so sorry for loss and your granddaughter's loss.

You can't be "prolife" and against medical care for all.

6. If I see those clowns later today, I'll give them the finger for you..

See them here in Issaquah sometimes too, hanging around the Planned Parenthood

7. What happened to your daughter

would have been a crime in other countries. I am so sorry for your loss. It should never have happened.

This was a good rant of yours, so you're getting a rec from me.

9. i am so sorry for your loss

so, so sorry. i think you should put your story in the paper. everyone should know just how much the state of WA and indeed the USA really values life these days.

11. Under Obamacare, a person with that income would be eligible for Apple Care, the Medicaid program.

But I am so sorry to hear about your loss, too, barbtries. I can't imagine how terrible it must be to lose a child.

[pnwmom]

10. Stargazer99, I am so deeply sorry. I would be as enraged as you are.

Yes, the people who pretend to be so concerned with the life of a fetus and yet have no concern for the living humans around us are terrible people.

I'm so, so sorry about you losing your daughter. I have one myself and that would about kill me. I hope you granddaughter helps you to keep putting one foot in front of the other.

[Duval]

12. Shameful!!

My condolences to you and your family.

[Faygo Kid]

13. I hate the "pro-lifers" who don't give a damn about the living

They are the first to cheer for food stamp cuts, restricting access to medical care and ending unemployment benefits.

I've had it up to here with them.

My profound sympathies. My adult daughter also has health problems - not life threatening, but can't work. Unfortunately, she's in Florida, where Gov. Rick Scott makes sure she can't get Medicaid, either. I do what I can, but it's not enough.

[CFLDem]

14. Hopefully Rick Scott will be looking for work very shortly.

15. ...

[AngryOldDem]

16. Yeah...it's valuable before you leave the delivery room...

...after that, you're on your own.
