Rock-a-bye Baby
Reminder that the state of Georgia is forcing a hospital to keep a brain dead woman alive against the wishes of her family as she died while 9 weeks pregnant and the state government will force her to breath and her heart to pump until the completion of the third trimester and they can cut the fetus from this poor family's daughter's corpse.
The kicker is they are also forcing her family to pay all the medical bills to keep her alive for the next 7 months.
All without understanding the actual impact on the fetus by forcing this poor woman to maintain this zombie state for 7 months.
This is a fucking horror show.
