New: A #Texas Woman Died After the Hospital Said It Would be a “Crime” to Intervene in Her Miscarriage

Josseli Barnica is one of at least two pregnant Texas women who died after doctors delayed emergency care.

She’d told her husband that the medical team said it couldn’t act until the fetal heartbeat stopped.

    Infuriating.

    Some medical org has to take a stand. They are all gutless. I know they could lose licenses, could be prosecuted. Do they honestly think they would not have hoards of attorneys available gratis? It would be the Scopes monkey trial.
    They could be heroes.

    They should be charged with murder for not treating her. Unfortunately no other state has standing to do that and Texas clearly won’t.
    Maybe some wrongful death suits could get their attention.
