The lawsuit, filed by Pregnancy Justice on behalf of McElroy and her daughter, further claims that medical staff gave her only a diaper and Tylenol while she endured severe pain and worried about the safety of her baby.
According to the complaint, another inmate eventually assisted McElroy in delivering a baby girl who was not breathing when she was born on the prison floor, as prison guards watched. The filing says two women housed in the same pod attempted to revive the newborn by removing mucus from her mouth and rubbing her until she finally cried.
The complaint also alleges that, after the delivery, a guard told the women: “Y’all should’ve pushed that motherfucking baby back in” and punished the women on the cell block, prohibiting them from going outside and to religious services, and revoking phone privileges.
I’d bet those guards consider themselves pro life
I bet they’d beat a woman to death for having an abortion
They punished the other women who helped with the birth, so yeah.
Conclusion: That was the plan, and they ruined it.
They’d beat a pregnant women to death for trying to get an abortion
And deeply christian
As my mother used to say, deep as the deepest one. Never much cared for calling people or things satanic, but she loved it for a minute
…Cthulu?
Yep, and their pro life stance includes babies with multiple women, who are left to take care of the resulting children on their own while being judged for maintaining a ‘broken home’ by these very same fucks.
And also the father.
McElroy, who was being held on charges stemming from an allegation of substance use during pregnancy
“You’ve been accused of potentially harming your baby, so we’re going to deny you medical care to make sure of it!”
Fucking barbaric. Every single one of the law enforcement personnel involved ought to be [redacted].
Allow me. “Fucking barbaric. Every single one of the law enforcement personnel involved ought to be executed.”
Yeah this ain’t Meta we can be as specific as we want
Praise the Omnissiah!
Every pig ever they’re all like thus they just don’t all show it
Thats… Maybe a new depth of just how traumatic of experiences we as humans can subject eachother to…
Holy fucking Christ man.
She was afraid she was going to die on the floor and never see her other children again.
Which is a legit concern, birth is a major medical event with possible complications galore even if it goes well, and literally an emergency in many cases. Women die during childbirth all the time even with the best care.
New depth? If this is a peak for you in how aweful humans can be to their own, leave it at that and stop looking.
You have never worked with populations targeted by police this is pretty normal for them it just doesn’t happen to straight cis white women with housing very often I’ve seen worse this calendar month on three separate occasions this is literally every cop I won’t even tell you my stpry
Yeah thats fair, our system sucks shit and its a common problem that horrible things only get coverage when they happen to cis/hetero-normative white people, but does horrific shit to poor minorities all the time without anyone hearing about it :(
I don’t work in social work and fortunately none of my friends are without housing, so its not something I’d hear about happening to people
Every pig is like this they’re not human
This is what republicans mean by “protecting women”
That deputy whining that they’d fire her for helping is in no way qualified to work with prisoners or anyone vulnerable.
Seeing lots of dehumanizing wording here. I think it is important to acknowledge that this behaviour - as disgusting as it is - is very very very human. Humans who abuse other humans under the excuse of being the better humans because morals each group uses for themselves to justify dehumanizing the other group. only if we are aware of how the human condition is affecting how we approach the world can we find a way to make this world a place that holds hope for those who are not in power! Also: pigs are great creatures that dont display antisocial behaviour like seen here.
I read the whole article, twice, to make sure I wasn’t hallucinating how fucked up this was.
McElroy, who was being held on charges stemming from an allegation of substance use during pregnancy
She was put in jail on charges stemming from potentially endangering the life of her child via drug use. However, when it came to actually protecting the life of the child in question;

Motherfucking guards watching this unfold, then did jack shit to help the child when it wasn’t breathing. God fucking damn. Stop the world I want to get off.
If anyone is interested, you can get the court filings here, through the pregnancy justice website.
Even people who fully support tough prison systems should be able to agree this is the kind of thing that makes a country look morally broken.
America really has a way of making you a misanthrope. Disgusting demons purposely put in positions of power.
Pigs are inhuman monsters in skin suits do not talk only kill
Apparently, the bedrock limit of my opinion of humanity has another bedrock.
Why do people from decent countries make the decision to ever travel to the US?
America is riddled with inhuman scum.
No one ever seriously says Sweet Home Alabama
Lock those fuckers up and throw away the keys

Uh oh. She’s white.
Unnecessarily divisive
NP its why we heard about relatively mild pig behavior like it didn’t even rape her after
1 month old account, comment history is nothing but angry vitriol… with a lotta use of the word “pig”
I hope you’re a troll, cause otherwise I really think you should get some help. Nobody needs to hang on to so much anger like that. Best wishes friend
