11. A loved ones story......

May 2019

A close family member found out her baby (approx. 9 months) was dead in the womb on a Friday. The doctor told her to come back Monday and she would induce labor. The doctor told her don't travel over the weekend far from a hospital because she could possibly hemorrhage to death. The baby had no esophagus so all the amniotic fluid was collecting in the womb. My loved one is also a medical professional but she and her husband were overwhelmed and not thinking clearly in regards to her life and health.

THE DOCTOR DID NOT WANT ANYONE TO LOOK INTO THIS MEDICAL CASE SO SHE CHOSE HER CAREER OVER A WOMAN'S POSSIBLE DEATH BECAUSE OF A DEAD BABY IN HER WOMB.

My aunt was a 'severe' Catholic and she kept asking me why did they let her niece leave the hospital with a dead baby in her womb? I told her the reason was because the doctor did not want anyone looking into this case of a late term abortion. My aunt stopped going to church after this incident.

This occurred in 1997.
