Louisiana woman forced to give birth to baby with no head

[Pedocon Theory is not a theory]

Her parents are responsible for that child as well under Louisiana Law, at least until she is fully dead.

A human life has been saved.  Glory to God!

[Pedocon Theory is not a theory]

Her baby suffers from acrania—an untreatable, fatal condition—but Louisiana's abortion ban only allows exceptions if the mother's life is in danger.

Not true.  Gov. Edwards signed Senate Bull 342 in June.

Today, Gov. John Bel Edwards announced that he has signed Senate Bill 342 by Sen. Katrina Jackson, which is relative to the application of Louisiana’s abortion statutes.  While this legislation is similar to that passed in 2006, which is effective upon Roe V. Wade being overturned, Senate Bill 342 would expand the exceptions contained in the 2006 legislation to include instances of medical futility and ectopic pregnancies. Further, this bill will confirm what is unclear in the 2006 legislation, which is that emergency contraception is available under Senate Bill 342 for victims of rape and incest prior to when a pregnancy can be clinically diagnosed.

Here's the text on the medical futility exception:

(vi) The removal of an unborn child who is deemed to be medically futile. The diagnosis shall be a medical judgment certified by two qualified physicians and recorded in the woman's medical record. The medical procedure shall be performed in a licensed ambulatory surgical center or hospital. Upon the completion of the procedure, the physician shall submit an individual abortion report consistent with R.S. 40:1061.21 that includes appropriate evidence of the certified diagnosis.

For some reason the hospital thinks this doesn't apply in this case, I'd be interested to know why.   I expect the Louisiana Dept of Health will attempt a clarification on the applicability of the law to this condition.

Next they'll require two doctors to buy condoms. Christ, it's a goddamn clump of cells that doesn't have a head. You sickos really have nothing better to do than spend your time whining about whatboutism

Whining about whataboutism?
What does that have to do with the law I quoted?

If the fetus had a head, would it still be just a "goddamn clump of cells"?  Which fetal organs do you consider "clumps of cells"?

All of them. Until it's viable it's a clump of cells.

You might wanna read that again, champ

so let me get this straight, she's not mature enough to consider an abortion, but she is mature enough to be forced to raise a child? WTF?

Her parents are responsible for that child as well under Florida Law, at least until she is 18.

A human life has been saved.  Glory to God!

Seems very likely that she'll leave the state and take care of what need to be done, right? The title makes it seem like a fait accompli.

"Why doesn't every woman who can't get an abortion just pull $2,000 and three PTO days out of their ass to fly to Maryland for an uncontroversial medical procedure which is being blocked by idiot Republicans???"
