1
00:00:00,080 --> 00:00:01,680
And in this headline we're gonna talk about a
prison

2
00:00:01,680 --> 00:00:03,600
guard, not a prisoner, a prison guard who is
very

3
00:00:03,600 --> 00:00:06,480
heavily pregnant, staring going through labor
pains, and was denied

4
00:00:06,480 --> 00:00:08,160
the ability to go to a hospital.

5
00:00:08,160 --> 00:00:10,480
From the article, issa called for help and
relief, but

6
00:00:10,480 --> 00:00:13,280
her supervisor repeatedly refused her, even
telling her that she

7
00:00:13,280 --> 00:00:14,000
was lying.

8
00:00:14,000 --> 00:00:15,600
Quote, you just want to go home.

9
00:00:15,600 --> 00:00:17,440
When she finally had the ability to leave, she
rushed

10
00:00:17,440 --> 00:00:19,680
to a hospital only to go into emergency
surgery where

11
00:00:19,680 --> 00:00:21,280
the baby was delivered stillborn.

12
00:00:21,280 --> 00:00:23,120
She is now assuming the state of Texas saying
that

13
00:00:23,120 --> 00:00:24,960
if only she got there earlier the baby would
not

14
00:00:24,960 --> 00:00:25,360
have died.

15
00:00:25,360 --> 00:00:27,680
Which makes sense it's an unborn child
previously had passed

16
00:00:27,680 --> 00:00:30,240
viability and previously the heartbeat was
detected.

17
00:00:30,240 --> 00:00:32,160
But here in Texas we have a new attorney
general

18
00:00:32,160 --> 00:00:34,960
who basically said that this lawsuit was
invalid because, quote,

19
00:00:34,960 --> 00:00:37,760
Issa was only seeking to leave to care for
herself,

20
00:00:37,760 --> 00:00:40,000
not for the child, end quote.

21
00:00:40,000 --> 00:00:42,320
This was a woman who was going through labor
at

22
00:00:42,320 --> 00:00:43,120
the time.

23
00:00:43,120 --> 00:00:46,720
Further commentary from our Texas Attorney
General says, quote, this

24
00:00:46,720 --> 00:00:49,840
court need not weigh into difficult questions
upon whether or

25
00:00:49,840 --> 00:00:53,520
not the post-dobs decision means that an
unborn child possesses

26
00:00:53,520 --> 00:00:56,320
the constitutional right under the Fourteenth
Amendment.

27
00:00:56,320 --> 00:00:58,320
This is referring to the right of life.

28
00:00:58,320 --> 00:01:01,280
This is the Texas Attorney General saying
this.

29
00:01:01,280 --> 00:01:04,800
A Republican, someone appointed by Governor
Abbott.

30
00:01:04,800 --> 00:01:05,840
And the Texas H.E.

31
00:01:05,920 --> 00:01:08,640
goes further saying, quote, just because
several statutes define an

32
00:01:08,640 --> 00:01:11,040
individual to include an unborn child does not
mean that

33
00:01:11,040 --> 00:01:13,360
the Fourteenth Amendment does the same.

34
00:01:13,360 --> 00:01:15,760
So just to put things in perspective here,
here in

35
00:01:15,760 --> 00:01:18,320
Texas, abortion is illegal, Roe v.

36
00:01:18,320 --> 00:01:22,080
Wade is dead, but if the state puts you in

37
00:01:22,080 --> 00:01:24,560
a situation where your baby winds up dying and
then

38
00:01:24,560 --> 00:01:26,480
you try to sue the state, the state will then

39
00:01:26,480 --> 00:01:28,880
question whether or not the baby actually had
any right

40
00:01:28,880 --> 00:01:29,600
to life.
