Their responsibility to to the woman not the fetus! What shitty medical personnel. I mean, if I was pregnant &amp; went in to give birth, id expect the staff would make sure I survived it (priority over the 17w old fetus). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/woman-dies-after-being-refused-an-abortion-when-told-mc-was-imminent#post-405364 Sun, 18 Nov 2012 20:44:15 +0000 Mrs. Pickle 405364@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>That's terrible. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/woman-dies-after-being-refused-an-abortion-when-told-mc-was-imminent#post-405363 Sun, 18 Nov 2012 20:41:37 +0000 PurplePumps 405363@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>This is awful! So now there's 2 deaths instead of one... can they really argue that this is the way it should be as long as the baby had a heartbeat? I would really love to hear what the religious absolutely anti abortion believers have to say about this. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/woman-dies-after-being-refused-an-abortion-when-told-mc-was-imminent#post-405349 Sun, 18 Nov 2012 20:23:28 +0000 Ree723 405349@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I know, it makes me sick to my stomach to think that could happen to someone. It almost seems like a form of torture, both emotionally and physically. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/woman-dies-after-being-refused-an-abortion-when-told-mc-was-imminent#post-405335 Sun, 18 Nov 2012 20:12:36 +0000 Turd Ferguson 405335@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>:( </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/woman-dies-after-being-refused-an-abortion-when-told-mc-was-imminent#post-405323 Sun, 18 Nov 2012 20:03:55 +0000 shopaholic 405323@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>How can that happen in this day &amp; age with all the medical advances that should prevent a death like this?!?! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/woman-dies-after-being-refused-an-abortion-when-told-mc-was-imminent#post-405321 Sun, 18 Nov 2012 20:03:22 +0000 ladyfingers 405321@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I saw this.

People who want to ban all types of abortion in the US - this is the ramification. Women will die. Heartbreaking, and makes my blood boil as well. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/woman-dies-after-being-refused-an-abortion-when-told-mc-was-imminent#post-405294 Sun, 18 Nov 2012 19:33:36 +0000 prettylizy 405294@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>That makes me sick to my stomach, I feel like in modern society things like that just shouldn't happen anymore. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/woman-dies-after-being-refused-an-abortion-when-told-mc-was-imminent#post-405282 Sun, 18 Nov 2012 19:25:14 +0000 Ree723 405282@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Has anyone heard about this story in Ireland? I'll post the link below but for those that don't want to read the whole article, here's a summary:</p> <p>A 31 yr old woman went to hospital complaining of severe back pain when she was 17 weeks pregnant. It turned out her cervix had opened and she was leaking amniotic fluid. She was told she was going to miscarry and there was no hope of the baby surviving. She asked to be induced but the hospital refused because the baby still had a heartbeat, so that would be considered an abortion, and being a Catholic country, they don't believe in abortions. As a result, the mother laboured for 3 days, contracted septicemia as a result, and died. </p> <p>This is why I find it so scary that certain groups in the US are trying to impose their religious views on laws that govern the entire country. Believe what you want, live your life how you want, but don't impose those views on everyone else. I just find it tragic that not only did this baby die, but a mother had to die as well, solely because someone else's, not hers (she wasn't even Catholic), religious views didn't believe in valuing her life over the life of an unborn fetus that wasn't going to survive anyway. It makes my blood boil. </p> <p>Anyway, I just thought I'd see what others thoughts on the matter are.
