47. now texas is arguing a fetus isn't a baby and doesn't have rights

Tue Feb 20, 2024, 01:13 PM

Feb 2024

female prison guard 7 month pregnant
has labor pains on the job
prison doesn't let her leave for hours
baby is still born
hospital says if she got there earlier they could have saved the fetus

shes suing and the state is arguing “Just because several statutes define an individual to include an unborn child does not mean that the Fourteenth Amendment does the same,”

fuck this state. her supervisors should be charged with manslaughter at the least since the state has spend years claiming a fetus is a person. they contributed to its death.
