And in this headline we're gonna talk about a prison guard, not a prisoner, a prison guard who is very heavily pregnant, staring going through labor pains, and was denied the ability to go to a hospital. From the article, issa called for help and relief, but her supervisor repeatedly refused her, even telling her that she was lying. Quote, you just want to go home.
When she finally had the ability to leave, she rushed to a hospital only to go into emergency surgery where the baby was delivered stillborn. She is now assuming the state of Texas saying that if only she got there earlier the baby would not have died. Which makes sense it's an unborn child previously had passed viability and previously the heartbeat was detected.
But here in Texas we have a new attorney general who basically said that this lawsuit was invalid because, quote, Issa was only seeking to leave to care for herself, not for the child, end quote. This was a woman who was going through labor at the time. Further commentary from our Texas Attorney General says, quote, this court need not weigh into difficult questions upon whether or
not the post-dobs decision means that an unborn child possesses the constitutional right under the Fourteenth Amendment. This is referring to the right of life. This is the Texas Attorney General saying this. A Republican, someone appointed by Governor Abbott. And the Texas H.E. goes further saying, quote, just because several statutes define an individual to include an unborn child does not mean that
the Fourteenth Amendment does the same. So just to put things in perspective here, here in Texas, abortion is illegal, Roe v. Wade is dead, but if the state puts you in a situation where your baby winds up dying and then you try to sue the state, the state will then question whether or not the baby actually had any right to life.
