This is why I cannot re-watch childhood cartoons of mine. The villains there are ironically less evil than these people and people don't support them in universe...

They don’t campaign for child marriage in secret,

Wait, who is actively campaigning for child marriage? I mean, "child marriage" is already legal in a bunch of states (as in a large majority of them) so long as you understand we're generally talking about 16 or 17 year olds marrying with consent of their parents, a court or both (depending on the state). The term tends to evoke imagery of kids much younger than that, which is why I'm clarifying. Why would they need to campaign for something that's already legal in most of the country?

It does seem weird to blame Republicans for this one though, since the states with the broadest child marriage laws have been solidly blue states (Massachusetts eliminated under-18 marriage entirely in 2022, but prior to that had no hard minimum age of marriage with parental and judicial consent, and California still to date has no hard minimum marriage age but requires judicial consent for under-18s). I don't think anyone is going to claim that California is a state controlled by Republicans.

It's not like for example fucking animals where it's only legal in one state, and that one state is a red state. Specifically: Fucking animals isn't illegal in WV because WV repealed their "crimes against nature"-style law in 1976 for LGBT related reasons (and it wasn't really enforced much anyways, 4 prosecutions in 46 years on the books, 3 of those overturned on appeal), and WV has just never passed a replacement ban on fucking animals. It typically gets proposed in the legislature every year, and typically never goes any farther than being proposed because the legislature usually has more important things to do than pass an embarrassing bill to legislate against a vanishingly small number of perverts who on the whole aren't really hurting anyone (and if they were could be prosecuted under regular animal abuse laws).

If the daughter is older enough, sounds like it's her/her estates debt. Not her parents, unless they were unfortunate enough to be manipulatrd into assuming responsibily.

Honestly, this is a perfect reductio ad absurdum why executive order power should not be given to one person (and their admin) for a country of 400 million......

Probably the doctor

Nobody. It's got a lot of fluid on the brain, and probably some other fucked up shit. I'd be surprised if the baby makes it more than a few weeks.

"At least it's another soul in heaven!"

We need to get the religious cavemen out of healthcare.

Hopefully the mother since anything else would be woke, socialism, DEI or whatever the fuck is the monthly buzzword for letting poor "useless eaters" (sound familiar?) die

When you force someone's life to end, that's homicide. There should be a name (and a punishment) for forcing someone's life to continue.

Not a doctor but I can still guarantee you it's gonna fuck up that kid. Even assuming they're perfectly healthy, the mental impacts of learning you were born from basically a corpse will do wonders

She's not in a coma, she's brain dead. You can get out of a coma, but brain death is when brain function irreversibly stops. The rest of the body is being kept alive by machines but the brain is dead and can't be revived. In most jurisdictions, this woman is legally dead. As for the pregnancy, I have read other articles that mention the baby will be severely impacted due to this, with several birth defects.

One of the articles I read yesterday mentioned that it's quite likely the fetus will have health complications, possibly incredibly severe ones, but the doctor they interviewed didn't make strong direct claims.

So the answer to your question is yes, it does affect the pregnancy, most likely somehow. This news came out fairly recently, so perhaps we will get some more expert opinions over the next week or so.

Just because she's a daughter doesn't mean she's a child, but yes when someone is braindead then pulling the plug is often the best choice

When my Mom was in a coma, they asked me as the oldest child to make that decision. I based it on not only my wishes for myself, but per her directive.

However if it was my own child, I would probably make the same decision. Parents make thousands of decisions on behalf of their children. This one, however horrible, would be another one of them. I would support my wife in aborting the (already dead) child, rather than further risk the life of my wife. It's the only and best choice, however tragic.

~~It's already dead~~

I mis-read the title.
