Girl, you so whack, you can fuck up a quote!
I got my eye on you. ^^^^
I got my Gangrenous…
Oh, never mind.
You and the gangrene parts! I don’t know about you sometimes. You make me laugh. You’re scaring my cats by doing that.
ETA they don’t like me to make noise after a certain time. There’s a noise ordinance here.
Why? You really think it is necessary to insult everybody on “the other side” any time you can find an excuse for it? It’s bad enough that some people insist in thinking that anybody not squarely in agreement with them is Evil, but do you have to scream it constantly?
When you guys do that, you behave exactly like the people Annie was talking about when they try to close down Planned Parenthood clinics.
CEO quits after woman in vegetative state gives birth; new allegations emerge
I wonder how they would know that.
Seems the outgoing CEO is a real piece of shit.
But this is tragic.
14 YEARS??? Why would anyone keep a person in a vegetative state alive for 14 years??? Let the poor woman die. Let her family move on.
You can have what appears to be menstrual cycles while pregnant. Some pregnant women have breakthrough bleeding during pregnancy… that’s one of the reasons why some women say they didn’t know they were pregnant when they have a surprise baby. Furthermore, she could experience infrequent or irregular periods due to her not being physically active. Heck, physically active women often have irregular or infrequent periods. Unfortunately, for a lot of women, the reproductive system doesn’t work like a clock. It doesn’t happen at precise intervals every single month.
Serious question, help fight ignorance - Given she was comatose, & therefore incontinent, she’d be in a diaper 24x7. Is there any reason to treat a period differently than urine or feces & have it collected in a diaper? If not, then would caregivers necessarily notice when she did/not have her period?
Now I feel ill…
Well, some folks have a different view of the situation, as I’m sure you know. Ardent pro-lifers, Catholics, and others might view sustaining her life as the greater good. I don’t think I’d agree with that either.
There might be another reason, like being in a state where withdrawing life support from such a person is extremely difficult without a prior medical directive. A lot of people don’t have those.
This person may be in such a state where keeping them fed, clean, and free of bedsores enables them to stay alive, although they are probably DNR and perhaps the family would ask that extreme measures not be used if she got sick.
My mother had a FOAF who was in a PVS for about 15 years, after a car accident. However, her parents and husband (see footnote) visited her regularly, and her mother spent the rest of her life as a TBI activist who also advocated for seat belt use; the accident happened in the 1970s and she had not been wearing hers. She couldn’t walk or talk, or even communicate with a letter or picture board, but she knew when she had visitors and could indicate things like pain or pleasure, like music or TV shows that she liked. Her husband would even bring in newspaper or magazine articles he thought she would enjoy, and read them to her. She had been a highly intelligent woman; she was a schoolteacher who was getting ready to go to law school.
Footnote: When they realized her condition would not further improve, her husband was advised to legally divorce her, so he wouldn’t be on the hook for her medical bills, especially because they had young children, and this was worse for him that the accident. In time, with the approval of her family, he started dating a few years later and married a woman they called their “daughter in love.” IIRC, the first wife eventually got pneumonia, and they asked that nothing be done beyond comfort measures, and this was how she died.
And remember Karen Ann Quinlan? She lived in a PVS for about 10 years, also dying from pneumonia.
That’s true.
And aren’t diapers supposed to be charted if you’re in any kind of care facility? I know they do that in hospitals.
I’ll also note that in at least one of the cases mentioned in this thread, the baby was born very premature. I’m assuming that would mean the mother was showing less visible signs of being pregnant at the time of the birth.
That guy just plain old looks scary. I’d be collecting his DNA first before pursuing anyone else’s IMNSHO.
I wonder who is going to be on the hook for child support. Provided that the rape took place in the nursing facility, I’d imagine that the company is on the hook for that. Even if they find the father, he isn’t likely to earn anything while in prison.
I understand that the police can’t force dna tests on all of the male employees without warrants, but it seems that the facility itself could demand their male employees submit DNA or be terminated. That would certainly narrow the suspect list. I could be wrong. I often am.
The sexual abuse may have taken place for a long time.
The only thing authoritites know is it escalated to intercourse 9 months ago.
<shudder>
There’s some very sick people in this world.
Who’s going to get custody of the baby? The family of the patient?
Not even, it could have “escalated to intercourse” a lot sooner. And it wouldn’t be terribly surprising if other patients at the same place are also being abused/raped.
