Don’t be disingenuous. Your comment said “Is there any evidence besides her own story”. You called it a “story”. You said you had a hard time wrapping your head around it. You said you guessed you could see it happening at 1 or 2 places but 3? It is pretty clear that you didn’t believe her. I get that it’s because you

As someone who works for an OB, that is a terrible doctor and you should never see them again.

On the positive side, the dr that treated me at the ER was amazing, took me on as a patient and saw me through my subsequent pregnancies.

Even later they don’t do much...I had a missed miscarriage at 14 weeks (the fetus died but stayed in the womb). I had horrible contractions for a week along with a fever and my dr refused to see me, his receptionist told me to: “suck it up, it’ll come out eventually”. Finally my husband couldn’t take my suffering any

That’s my experience as well (fuck you, Kaiser system). But when I miscarried and went in without a “sample” all of my paperwork had to say that I could still have a viable pregnancy. I’ve worked in women’s health and have a health science degree but my heart breaks for women who can’t advocate for themselves or who

She actually names the three places and you think she’s the one lying? What evidence do you need besides her word and the fact that the fetus is stil in her bag? If she didn’t care she could have just flushed it.

There is a requirement that hospitals and ERs not turn you away if turning you away will cause you to die. They aren't obligated to make you better or provide any other care. The fact that the woman was still alive to be arrested later is proof that she definitely could have been turned away as a not-critical.

I’m pretty sure those laws only apply to critical life-threatening conditions (and even then they only have to stabilize the person).

At eight weeks, it is called an embryo and about the size of a blueberry. WTF are cops doing telling the news/world about a blueberry-sized miscarried embryo? Shame on the cops.

In my experience, hospitals do absolutely nothing when you have means and you’re miscarrying before 10 weeks. I can’t imagine what it would

Don’t forget, Pangolin, the poor aren’t supposed to reproduce in the first place. At least that’s what’s been made clear in the replies.

Maybe my working-class roots are showing but I’m not at all understanding this whining about needing months off work to...what, exactly? Find yourself or something? You’re a grown up. Go to work. Use your vacation time. If you have a baby/sick family member/are sick yourself/have other assorted crises that require

Our son is here because my meds reduced the efficacy of the Pill.

This comment is great. My first daughter was a birth control fail. With my second daughter I had two choices, I could quit, or I could take two weeks unpaid, and only two weeks. The company called it “temporary disability.” So after an emergency c-section I went back to work full time after two weeks off cause it was

Been there, and how sick is that? Considering hurting yourself to get a needed break? And I bet we’re not the only ones.

Everyone deserves to have time off. People caring for sick relatives, for funerals and yes for burn outs; mental health is just as important as anything else. 2 weeks paid vacation a year is a joke. Especially when you have a job that rolls that two weeks into PTO and sick leave like my job does. And when you have to

I’m seeing an awful lot of classist privilege in these comments.

Shouldn’t we be more worried about making maternity leave available in most cases? Jesus H Christ I have a lot of opinions on this shit. Is it friday yet

I think that the mothers should apologize to this lady. While you/we were all getting free little bags of soft serve feces, internet dating was forcing this woman and her friend to drink margaritas by the pitcher.

Maybe her date having friend is also a dependant minor whom she must console by 5pm, or OKC will call the police. That could be just as important. :/

I read an interview with Ms. Foye and she whined about how moms get to leave work to pick up their kids from school but she’d get shit if she left work to console a friend who had a bad OK Cupid date. Are you fucking kidding me?
