Texas reverses course on fetal rights.

Now suddenly a fetus isn't a person.

A prison guard says she was forced to stay at her post during labor pains. Texas is fighting compensation for her stillbirth.
The seven-months-pregnant officer reported contraction-like pains at work, but said she wasn’t allowed to leave for hours. The anti-abortion state is fighting her lawsuit, in part by saying her fetus didn’t clearly have rights.

We never should have let those Lone Star maggots in the Union.

TX treats it's prison staff like shit.....Same as near every other DOC.

That said women should not be working at male prisons in the first place.

Completely irrelevant to the abortion issue.

Either a fetus is a person with rights or it isn't

It is not a person, no, under the law. Whatever rights the fetus possesses originate from the host.

A fetus is either a human life with rights....or it isn't.

Texas questions rights of fetus in prison guard lawsuit despite arguing opposite on abortion

Officials argue ‘unborn child’ may not have rights under US constitution in lawsuit defense over prison guard stillbirth

www.theguardian.com

This is a puzzle isnt ?

A pregnant woman felt ill in work but was refused permission to go to hospital. Hours later she was allowed but the the baby was still born.

She is suing the state which is perfectly reasonable.

But for some reason the state has changed its stance on foetus rights. In this case they are arguing that the unborn have no rights.

I am not sure how it works in Texas. But over here mlearned friends would describe that as a conflict.
You cant have it both ways.

Actually, it is.

If the fetus is a living being that prevents States like Texas from performing abortions then that guard has a case.

This:

There is a difference between supporting abortion and supporting choice.

I support individual rights and at the pinnacle of individual rights is the sovereignty over one's own body.

Sorry bout that,

1. The women killed her baby to sue Texas.
2. She could of gone to hospital, delayed and the baby died.
3. She killed her baby, sad.

What does that say about fetal rights of personhood?

 

[Dragonlady]

Completely irrelevant to the abortion issue.

The entire argument in Texas against abortion, is that a foetus has the right to life. In this case, the state is saying that a foetus doesn’t have any rights.

If a foetus doesn’t have rights, then her suit fails and abortion should be legal this woman’s suit should prevail, but if the foetus doesn’t have rights and abortion should be legal.

Sorry bout that,

1. She had a responsibility to take good care of her baby, she worked in a mans prison for heavens sake, she was uncaring towards her baby which shall be proven in a Texas Court, she wasn't a prisoner too.
