I don't appreciate Sen Kennedy's grandstanding, nor the comments criticizing these women's response to such grandstanding. He knew exactly what he was doing and exactly how to word it with false claims about what is really going on. The women in the lawsuit were put at serious risk of death and turned away from receiving appropriate medical care. They deeply wanted the babies that they lost. And suffered horribly as the care they needed was withheld from them. Not because it was inappropriate medical intervention. No. It was because their doctors were afraid they would be at risk of arrest or losing their license. Their hands were tied.
When I was expecting my two children, I was told in no uncertain terms that if my water broke, even if contractions had not started yet, to go to the hospital due to the risk of infection. This did happen with my second child and I was induced to start contractions although he was premature, it would put both he and I at serious risk had they not induced. Once the amniotic sack breaks, it doesn't fix itself with a nevermind. This was the situation with two of the women suing. Their water broke and they were not induced. One woman spent months as her baby died inside of her in excruciating pain, the other developed sepsis within 3 days as her baby died inside her and she almost died herself.
Sen Kennedy was out of line, out of touch, disrespectful and dishonest. If you support him, I have some prime swamp land to sell you in Louisiana.
