“I’m alone and scared.”
“Where is my mom?”
“I want to live.”
The last words of Yenifer Alvarez-Estrada.
In Yeni’s 7th week of pregnancy, her health began to deteriorate rapidly.
You see, Yeni was already at high risk for complications due to her pre-morbid conditions of hypertension; diabetes; and pulmonary edema.
At 7 weeks she presented to a Catholic Hospital with trouble breathing.
She was eventually transferred to an OBGYN who noted Yeni was at risk for having a heart attack or stroke.
No doctor even suggested terminating the pregnancy even though Yeni was becoming progressively worse as the pregnancy went on.
Yeni was finally transferred to a larger hospital. Again, it was never suggested that the pregnancy be terminated.
Yeni died at 29 years old because options were never given. Yeni was never given a choice.
Her medical report noted.
“High risk for clinical decompensation/death.”
Texas failed Yeni, definitely because she was a woman but also because of her name - Yenifer Alvarez-Estrada.
I’m going to leave this here for all you women who voted for Republicans like your gross husbands.
I’m going to leave this here for all you fucking fools that might vote third party.
I’m going to leave this here for all you “Blacks for Trump.”
For all you fake Christians.
