Ahhh, so we're gestating our young in the corpses of their mothers now? That seems less than ideal.

Yeah this is some Imperium of Man bullshit, wtf.
Literally the prelude to Death Stranding.
I love that game... But I would NOT want to live in that world lol.
It’s pretty much the Axolotl Tanks from the Dune series. An overtly patriarchal society that hates its women eventually decides the preferred course of action is turn them into lobitomized, unrecognizable gestational vats.
For a profit as well.
I just want to know what's going through the head of the lonely single downvoter you have at the time of this post. What sort of horrific mindset would prompt them to vote your comment down. Does this shithead think that this ISN'T a case of a baby being gestated in the body of his/her dead mother? Or does this shithead think that gestating babies in the corpses of dead mothers kept alive by technology at great expense is a good thing?
What an awful person, this downvoter.

It seems like there should be a prophecy that mentions this.

Make no mistake: This is the world conservatives want! This is the desired outcome. This is their law. They were warned things like this would happen. They didn't care.
This is their ideal outcome. Think if women were reduced to nothing but wombs to birth strong, white sons. The poor men would do all of the domestic stuff, likely including sexual gratification of their betters (no homo!!!). It would be a conservative paradise.
vomits
Its a real tragedy, I dont want to belittle that with my question:
who is paying the medical bill?
Iit will likely be taken out of her estate unfortunately. What a great point. As if her son hasn't lost enough.
That’s very generous, assuming we plebeians have an estate. If I were her family I’d sue the State, since they’re the ones forcing the continued medical treatment.
I had something in there originally about "if she has one" but it felt charged, so I took it out. Hard agree though.
This is why it's important to have a trust that your assets are put into.
My trust is set up so that it's not beholden to any liabilities. My trustees can legally ignore any unsecured debts and leave them unpaid if I die. (Secured debts have a separate process since they are attached to tangible objects.)

Not the state I'm sure.
It will be taken out of her estate and her son will get zero inheritance.
More likely: it goes to debt collectors, and debt collectors being the scum of the earth they are will try to trick her family into taking on the debt.

A mother and wife lost because the hospital wanted to skimp out on the diagnostic that might have saved her.
An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure.
... And private healthcare is highly incentivized to cause you to not be able to access that inexpensive ounce of prevention, so that you are forced to pay exorbitantly for the pound of cure.
This is what you get when you let the profit motive run the health care sector.
It is a giant, ghoullish, money extraction machine, because 'shareholder value.'
Everthing is backwards, bizzaro world... on purpose.
It is working as intended.
It is intended to make money.

Imagine working day in and day out in the place that can save you, and even that's not enough to do it because money
Another sick, yet apt representation of the Republican value of being pro-birth and not pro-life.
No one cares about the dead mother ... no one will care about the child after its born
The unborn baby is at its peak right now because once it comes into this world .... absolutely no one will give a shit about it
Stuff like this is why I say abortion is pro-life
What life will that child have?
well according to Death Stranding, the baby should have a psychic link to the world of the dead… so at least there’s that
Most conservatives could boil down their hatred of abortion to the fact that leftists and liberals are for it.
Religion, my ass... They see political parties like sports teams. They just want to win and feel like you lost.
Abortion was never a religious point until the figureheads figured out they can divide people with this bullshit.
God performs an abortion in the fucking Bible FFS
I hate this fucking country.
Kept the baby alive so it can grow up and pay the hospital fees?
Let the mother rest. Her care was already botched by the lack of evaluation when she went to the hospital. She should not be expected to carry her son for any length of time. This is wildly disrespectful to her and the family.
Being black and going to the hospital for an emergency is scary! Are you going to get the doctor that secretly hates black people or a doctor that still believes black people have higher pain tolerance so no need for local anesthesia.

Adriana Smith, a registered nurse at Atlanta’s Emory University Hospital, was about 9 weeks pregnant when she started having bad headaches in February. The 30-year-old went to Northside Hospital for help but was released after being given medication, according to her mother, April Newkirk.
From the headline I thought it was a situation where she was brain dead and it was 6 months in and the foetus only needed a little while longer to become viable and, so long as she wanted the child, they could maybe have kept it going until they could prepare for all the necessary care a severely premature baby would need. 9 weeks though?! That's absurd. That's just pigheaded stupidity!
Someone should sneak in and pull the plug, or the family should withdraw consent to treatment or something (I don't know the laws).

holy shit this is beyond disgusting
It’s impossible to write cyberpunk fiction these days.
Does anyone in the entire process ever just wonder... Are we the baddies?
People capable of self reflection generally aren't conservative

I have a very disturbing thought: besides politicians, hospitals, executives, board are making money. If the family can't pay, hit to credit and outcast as degenerate bill dodgers.
So many people plan to profit, financially, legally, politically. "Christian Nation,” "Family values."
I wonder if we'll get new and improved slave bibles.
Extending on your thoughts...
If the father doesn't sign the B.C., the kid is a ward of the state. That's a decent way to siphon lots of taxpayer money into the pockets of that same list for years to come. Condemning that poor kid to extended suffering.
Also, who will pay for the care given until the birth? I'm going to assume that the hospital is insured against public care situations. I can easily imagine pushback from insurance companies about the impact of this policy. If they refuse to pay, the hospital has some very mixed incentives. That alone can lead to pressure to fix things. If it becomes profit or conservative morality, I expect that profit will win out.

Then when they end up on the street they're homeless, and homeless people don't matter ☺️ /s but also people really don't give a fuck about homeless people.
They are robbing these people. This is a massive injustice. What the fuck.
You know, for religious people, you would think conservatives would find it satanic to grow a baby inside of a dead woman, like an afront to God or something, but hey, who am I to tell them which one of their crazy BS morals makes more or less sense.
I know you already get it, but imma say it for the folks in the back who haven't figured it out yet.
More disposable bodies for the meat grinder, no matter what. More slaves to be sacrificed on the altar of profit. There can be no fun, no joy, no fulfillment for the masses, only toil and suffering and birthing the next generation. This is why they hate the lgbt's so much, because we're having sex for fun and not producing more disposable bodies for the meat grinder.

I can't imagine living with this origin story.
Right wing monsters want to kill women. This is all going according to their plan.
This is what the "pro-life" agenda looks like.
