@I_amMukhtar So why not just get the vaccine, then? Seems like an easy fix. 15 minutes at CVS. You should get it anyway to prevent Covid.

Let’s be real. Blake Lively is a spoiled untalented brat that is suing cause she wanted to be in control and she thinks he called her fat. Blake, you’re fat. And telling you that isn’t harassment of any kind. tmz.com/2024/12/21/bla…

@TheRyanHamilton I’m so sorry she went through this. This is so so unacceptable in 2024. This is the worst downstream effect of Trump by far. We need people on the Supreme Court who can reverse the laws. I’m a physician and mother in Texas so this affects me personally.

Maybe I should clarify a few things:
My wife was actively bleeding & denied a D&C even after it was determined our baby had no heartbeat. I don't understand why people keep quoting current Texas law, and saying it never could/would happen.
IT HAPPENED!
Also, a D&C (dilatation and curettage) and an "Abortion" require the SAME PROCEDURE.
Not removing the fetus could have resulted in sepsis and/or death.
She was sent home on 3 separate occasions.
She was prescribed misoprostol which was administered at home, where she bled for 3 days straight, and after I discovered her unconscious in our bathroom had to be rushed to the hospital for life saving care.
Our story is TRUE.
This is NOT political propaganda.
There is no GoFundMe (we will pay our own medical bills, thank you)
THE CURRENT ABORTION LAWS IN TEXAS ARE WHY THIS HAPPENED!
IT NEVER SHOULD HAVE HAPPENED!
We don't wish this nightmare on anyone.
Not even the vile people who continue to attack us.
I'm going to do my best to MAKE SURE this is not the world my daughter has to grow up in.

@TheRyanHamilton I’m so sorry you both had to go through that. The political scene regarding abortion is horrendous.

My heart is broken💔: As friends & family know, my wife was pregnant with our 2nd child, & about to begin her 2nd trimester. A few days ago she had severe pains, & bleeding, and had to go to the emergency room. There, it was discovered that our baby no longer had a heartbeat. Devastated doesn't come close to what that feels like.
Unfortunately for people like us, because of the current laws in the state of Texas, that was only the beginning of this nightmare. Jess (my wife) had an "incomplete miscarriage", and what needed to happen, what was best for HER, and her health, was to terminate the pregnancy, and get the baby out.
The doctor gave her a medication that would move this process along, and sent her home. Where, apparently we would be handling it ourselves. We were told it might take a couple of attempts before it worked.
I'll let you decide how you feel about that.
After a long, painful night of the equivalent of early labor, the baby was still with her. So, we went back to the Emergency Center to get the 2nd dose. A new doctor was on call. He was an older man. You could hear him in the hallway as he said, "I'm not giving her a pill so she can go home and have an ab*rtion!". Being well aware that our baby no longer had a heartbeat. Then, he came into the room to say, and I quote: "Considering the current stance. I'm not going to prescribe you this pill". Then, just sent us on our way.
The "CURRENT STANCE"?! Did he really just say that?!
No one should ever have to hear their wife say: "Get this dead baby out of me!".
Can you even imagine how that must feel?
The pain, and the bleeding continued. So, we decided to go to another hospital, about an hour away. There was a female doctor on call there, and we thought we might have better luck.
I should probably mention, the procedure to get the baby out is called a D & C. It's scary, & traumatizing, but sometimes necessary in situations like ours. Especially in emergency circumstances.
So we get to the next hospital. They take Jess in, ask her a bunch of questions, do a new scan... confirm that the baby is still there, with no heartbeat, and then disappear... for hours. Only to come back in and keep asking the same questions over and over. It's becoming clear that they're primary concern is NOT my wife's health. Instead, they seem to be worried about the legalities involved.
So, they decide it is not "enough of an emergency" to perform the D & C.
They do, however, prescribe another, stronger, final dose of the medication for us to try again... at home.
So, we go home to try again. Another long day/night of early labor pains. Only to discover my wife UNCONSCIOUS in the bathroom. Having to pick my wife's cold, limp body off of that bathroom floor, not sure if I was about to lose her, is something I will NEVER forget.
She had to be rushed to the hospital.
By this point she had lost so much blood, and bodily fluid, her body gave out.
They were able to stabilize her, give her the fluids she needed, and we came back home yesterday afternoon. We were also able to confirm that our baby was no longer with her.
Now, not only do we have to live with the loss of our baby... we have to live with the nightmare of what we just experienced because of political and religious beliefs. MY WIFE'S HEALTH SHOULD HAVE COME FIRST. PERIOD!
God knows what mental and emotional damage this has done.
If you consider yourself a staunch "pro-lifer" ... 1) You've never been through what we just went through, and 2) You should take a long, hard look in the mirror and reevaluate your reasons for supporting such a cold, barbaric, ignorant point of view.
It's not that black & white, and it's never going to be.
If you think your "Pray To End Ab*rtion" sign in your yard is "Christian", I suggest you revisit the teachings of Jesus and try again. If you support these laws that make ab*rtion illegal, and result in people being put through what we just were, you should be ashamed of yourself. I've never been so angry, or heartbroken... and the devastation I'm feeling must pale in comparison to what my poor wife is feeling.

@dodrummond @Socialm4life It has been a pleasure to take care of her!

Yesterday, for the first time in over a week, I got to hear this beautiful woman’s sweet, clear voice—free of the raspiness and fatigue that plagued her for more than a year.
Grateful thanks to Dr. @JenniferRodney and her outstanding team for taking such good care of my wife.

@AnaCabrera PLEASE tell people like Jason Miller that 40% of infected people have no symptoms (asymptomatic), so temperature checking is missing at least 40% of people with COVID. It is doesn’t work to just temp check. Masks and social distancing protects better.🤦🏻♀️
