The state of Texas is questioning the legal rights of an “unborn child” in arguing against a lawsuit brought by a state prison guard who says she had a stillborn baby because of working conditions.

    Imo the baby isn’t really important here. It’s the fact that she wasn’t allowed to leave after experiencing abnormal pain while pregnant! We should be taking so much better care of pregnant people.

      You say that like the US has higher pregnancy mortality rates than countries with similar wealth.

        Weird. You don’t think they would be suggesting that the US has the highest rate among countries of similar wealth? (/s)

        Maybe I’m missing something like sarcasm or something but, we do. Maybe you are trying to make this a talking experience so we all could learn but I can’t tell.
