Josseli Barnica grieved the news as she lay in a Houston hospital bed on Sept. 3, 2021: The sibling she’d dreamt of giving her daughter would not survive this pregnancy.

The fetus was on the verge of coming out, its head pressed against her dilated cervix; she was 17 weeks pregnant and a miscarriage was “in progress,” doctors noted in hospital records. At that point, they should have offered to speed up the delivery or empty her uterus to stave off a deadly infection, more than a dozen medical experts told ProPublica.

But when Barnica’s husband rushed to her side from his job on a construction site, she relayed what she said the medical team had told her: “They had to wait until there was no heartbeat,” he told ProPublica in Spanish. “It would be a crime to give her an abortion.”

For 40 hours, the anguished 28-year-old mother prayed for doctors to help her get home to her daughter; all the while, her uterus remained exposed to bacteria.

Three days after she delivered, Barnica died of an infection.

A texas woman didn't die, a texas woman was murdered by the state's ignorant, bigoted, christo-fascist policy - abbott, patrick, cruz, gohmert, that cock eyed AG and the rest of them along with every complicit texas republican voter... they all have blood on their cowardly hands.

Ok, and? What consequences are they going to face? How will their quality of life be diminished in any way?

I'll answer for you: none, because we, the little people, do not matter. Period.

I’ll bring the Murphy’s wood oil and get that frame polished up real nice

Gotta keep those grooves clean so the blade doesn’t bind on the way down

These are the practical guillotine tips that I live for!

Comments like these do less than nothing. We need to actually go outside and organize against the people taking our freedoms away. Protests, signing petitions, civil disobedience, even just donating goes a hell of a lot farther than writing comments on the internet.

Oh completely agree... I'm also just having a laugh

I want change by any means necessary.

Here's hoping Allred wiped the stage with cruz enough to show a little hope to anyone with any good in them left in the state.

And if she didn't get murdered, she could have been charged for murder for having a miscarriage.

Pure fucking rage. Not advocating for violance but, I would vote not guilty.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 3 weeks ago

Somewhat ironic username considering that’s exactly what every conservative is, smile and vote to fuck your buddy over. I’d be another on the not guilty
