Woman Forced To Watch Her Baby Die Because Nebraska Anti-Abortion Law Prohibited Doctor From Acting

.................

Julie Schmit-Albin: "We acknowledge the tragedy that occurs with a poor prenatal diagnosis for the baby. But isn't it more humane for the baby to die in a loving manner with comfort care and in the arms of her parents than by the intentional painful death through abortion?"*

"OK, Ms. Julie Schmit-Albin, let's get this straight: the doctors say I'm not going to live past fifteen minutes. If, by the odd chance I do live, then I'm gonna be a vegetable gasping for breath for a while longer. Since I've been here in the womb for over 20 weeks, you believe I should feel pain. I've already had a hard time breathing in this place, but my mother feels a lot more pain than I do. She, being humane, thinks that both she and I would feel a lot better if things didn't continue. You, on the other hand, think that it's God's will that we both live through this. You, who are not related to me in any way, have passed a law that says I have to come out of this place into my mother's arms so that we both can suffer as long as possible."

2. The alleged "rights" of a fetus are not...

...greater than the rights of a living human being, the pregnant female. PERIOD and end of discussion.

I don't get this...glorifying the death of a baby so it can die in the mother's arms??? So it can suffer more??? These anti-choicer forced birthers are total assholes...without exception.

JMHO

The religious right is neither.
This is wrong in so many ways. So much for freedom from religion in this country.

9. this is so very similar to my story 27 yrs ago

I posted details about it once, near the end of a very long thread about abortion a few years ago. I think perhaps only one person read my post.

It took my full-term, prenatally-diagnosed baby daughter over an hour, all the while gasping for breath, to die of her birth defect, a diaphragmatic hernia. It tore my heart out.

I fucking HATE those cowardly damn doctors to this day. They KNEW in my 5th month that my baby had a most serious problem. I had sonogram after sonogram done, both in their office and at the hospital...while technicians gathered around the screen and whispered "what's that, what's that?!!"

I cried myself to sleep for four month. The only person who validated what I knew was coming was the female pediatrician I sought out and visited before Amy's birth to attend to her. We both knew what would happen. She held me while I cried. I loved that woman; she had a heart. But I'm very bitter with the profession in general. And with the idiots who made these asinine, heartless laws.

The profound stupidity in this country makes me sick.

10. I am so very sorry...

I wish I could hug you, but alas, I have only cyber-hugs...

What a horrifying thing to have to endure.

:hug: :hug: :hug:

11. Thank you, Peggy!

I appreciate and accept your hugs. :hug:

It breaks my heart that other women have to keep going through this, all thanks to the U.S.taliban.
