This is a horrifying travesty inflicted by the state on this woman, the child and their family. The fact that her (effective) corpse was used as a forced gestation machine is just another terrifying manifestation of the far-right misogynist, forced-birth/natalist and fascist that is being established in the US. Of course, the state is more than happy to wash their hands of the incident and pass on the cost of this procedure to the family. The point of the agenda is not to care for or nuture children, but to use force childbirth as a way to control women.

Fixed headline
I feel as though there’s a situation where this outcome is desired but to have the emotional and medical costs mandated by the government is straight up biotech horror vulgarity.
This is horror film material. Except it is real life.
Georgia's Republican Attorney General Chris Carr clarified in a statement that the state's law doesn't compel medical professionals to maintain life support for a woman declared brain dead.
"Removing life support is not an action 'with the purpose to terminate a pregnancy,'" Carr explained.
Even if he’s not straight up lying, it’s not the AG’s call to make. If some local prosecutor wants to go full hog and bring charges against a hospital, it’ll be the courts that determine the purpose of the action and who knows what they’ll decide.
One time I suggested revoking consent for organ donation en masse as a form of protest but it got deleted as reactionary. But I can't help but imagine the stark contrast in keeping the braindead woman's corpse alive to use the uterus and then not use the other organs. It would be a fun dialogue (at the cost of someone's well-being)
it got deleted as reactionary
Im not a fan of people who go "any opinion i disagree with is reactionary" and use that as the basis to delete shit, especially on a fucking shitposting site
