What I don't get is, ok, she had 10 days to find another facility to put the baby. How could other hospitals turn her away? Her baby needed that ventilator - it was a matter of life or death - how could they legally turn her and her son away? Does the new law negate the law that says noone can be turned away from a hospital? I mean, what the hell? And, doesn't that law sort of negate the Hippocratic oath?
Don't worry, we're sure to spot Faith first. She's like this cleavagy slut-bomb walking around 'Ooh, check me out, I'm wicked-cool, I'm five-by-five.'

Thanks for the good wishes, everyone! And, yes, I am appreciating the avoidance of "39" jokes, even though I probably deserve it--when my mom turned 39, the sibs and I pooled our money for a "Happy Ad" in the local paper, wishing her a "Happy Birthday, Mom! (For the how many-th time?)," or something like that. She got kidded about it at work for weeks.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.
Does the new law negate the law that says noone can be turned away from a hospital?
I think that's emergency/urgent care. If she's already in a hospital, they don't have to accept the transfer.

It's probably no coincidence that the baby in the recent Texas case was black.
