Subject: RE: judge gave hospital permission to force woman to
deliver baby via Caesarean against her will.
I
think the second article that spoke of the Reproductive Rights people
getting involved said the baby was over 11 lbs. I don't remember how
many ounces over. But really, talk to your grandmothers--and ask them
how many pounds their siblings weighed. Women were having babies at home
and with no fuss. Those babies over were near 11 1/2 lbs. and sometimes
more. I can't get over the collective determination of that woman and her
husband to get hustled at two hopsitals and still head for the
third.
The
thing that is scary is that the court declared the hospital as the guardian of
a a preborn baby in a woman's womb. Do you remember the issue
of a barely pregnant woman who was in a coma because of a serious
accident and a court appointed a group of six strangers to be HER guardian and
her baby's guardian? The the doctors said that she had a good chance of
living, if they aborted the fetus, and her husband directed that they do
that. This incident was in New York. The stranger read about her
condition and went to the Court for guardianship. Husband had to go to
extreme lengths to get "possession" of his wife back. The strangers
were in charge. Yeah, I'm going to go back and read Michael Ellner's
statement again. There was also the case of the early pregnant black
woman in D.C. who literally was incarcerated in the hospital because she
refused to be admitted when she wanted to return home to her other children
who were alone. They "suspected" that she was going to miscarry if she didn't
stay at the hospital. This also was a court ordered
"incarceration". They felt they were the"better
judges."
How
come women can choose to have the elective, surgical extraction, but cannot
choose to use her natural physical ability? Too many people want to get
involved to others' lives. This isn't quite vigilante justice, because they do
wait for the judge to find in their favor before they take action against a
person.
