    She was having abdominal pains while pregnant and the doctor diagnosed her with strep throat.

    They don’t give a shit about women.

      I bet the doctor wanted to still bill the insurance company for a visit but couldn’t bill it as “woman having a miscarriage, about to die of blood poisoning” so called it strep throat so they still get paid.

    Hurting women is the whole goal with Republicans’ abortion bans. This isn’t just a tragedy, this is the intended outcome and what a bit under half the country wants the rest of the country to be like.

    The cruelty is the point.
