Mother who lost her baby at Fredericton hospital can't afford to sue ... (CBC.ca)

Nick Hooper, a lawyer with Wagners, says the first issue in Dunn's case is that her daughter had no vested legal rights under Canadian law. Had to be born alive.

For example, doctors in obstetrics in Ontario pay some of the highest dues — about $50,000 per year. Then the doctors get paid back. "And I will say it's dramatically less than that which American physicians pay for what would be considered malpractice insurance in that part of the world." He said the presumption in New Brunswick is that costs would be about $7,375 for the first $100,000 claimed plus three per cent of the amount over $100,000, plus taxes, plus the defendant's disbursements. In the case of a stillborn infant, the parents could only bring legal claims for the harms that they, themselves, had suffered. Hooper said a fetus that suffers harm and is subsequently born alive has the right to sue for harm sustained in utero.

A Nebraska mother and her 18-year-old daughter are facing multiple charges in a case that involved police obtaining Facebook messages between the two that ...

Wade was rolled back — and the protection would not have applied to the women's actions following the end of the pregnancy — the case demonstrates how private information such as direct messages on social media could be used to enforce laws prohibiting abortion. The data included direct message exchanges between Celeste and Jessica two days prior to the "miscarriage/stillbirth" that suggested they'd received pills, and made plans for how to use them and what to do with "the evidence," according to a signed affidavit in support of an additional search warrant by Detective Ben McBride of the Norfolk Police Investigations Unit. When interviewed by a police detective she "scrolled through her messages on her Facebook Messenger account" in an attempt to surface the date of her miscarriage, which police said led them to believe that there might be more messages with specifics about the case and to seek a search warrant, according to court documents. In June, Celeste and Jessica were each charged with one felony count of prohibited acts with human skeletal remains, one misdemeanor count of concealing the death of another person and one misdemeanor count of false information. After the initial request to Facebook, prosecutors filed an additional search warrant on June 16 that requested evidence of internet searches or purchase of medications used for miscarriage, among other things. in recent months: That law enforcement in some states could use people's personal data to enforce laws prohibiting abortion, a practice which experts worry could increase following the Supreme Court's ruling.

Facebook data used to prosecute Nebraska mother, daughter after ... (Nebraska Examiner)

Evidence against a Nebraska mother and teen in a case alleging an illegal abortion is opening a new digital front in the battle over abortion.

Police allege in court documents that both mother and daughter knew a drug being ordered online was intended to cause a miscarriage. “True justice would mean ensuring that people have all the resources and the support they need to make decisions about whether they want to have a family, when they have a family, and how to support the families they have with dignity,” Hunt said. Abortion is legal in 27 states, ranging from until 15 weeks in Florida to being legal throughout pregnancy in Colorado and three other states. “We hope the authorities will further investigate the source of the chemical cocktail used to kill this preborn child.” Abortion is illegal or soon to be illegal in 16 states, including Oklahoma and South Dakota. Sandy Danek, president of Nebraska Right to Life, applauded police and prosecutors for enforcing the 20-week ban. She said she and her mom buried the stillborn, the documents show. Madison County Attorney Joe Smith told the Lincoln Journal Star that this was the first time in his 32 years as a prosecutor that he had filed such charges in an abortion-related case. “Nebraskans should be appalled (by) the lack of dignity given to this baby’s body. Meta is the parent company of Facebook and Instagram. That is a bigger question that we need to ask ourselves as a culture.” That information was gathered in part from private Facebook messages the Burgesses exchanged.

Prosecutors charged the woman with helping her then 17-year-old daughter end her pregnancy and then burning and burying the fetus.

He also wrote that the daughter confirmed in the Facebook exchange with her mother that the two would "burn the evidence afterward." "Nothing in the valid warrants we received from local law enforcement in early June, prior to the Supreme Court decision, mentioned abortion," Stone said. When first interviewed, the two told investigators that the teen had unexpectedly given birth to a stillborn baby in the shower in the early morning hours of April 22. Law enforcement authorities obtained the messages with a search warrant, and detailed some of them in court documents.

Wade in June, states weren’t allowed to enforce abortion bans until the point at which a fetus is considered viable outside the womb, at roughly 24 weeks.

Who is the mother of Israel? (The Christian Century)

This understanding risks placing women on the margins of Jewish life. Narratives in the Hebrew Bible, however, align the central experiences of the people of ...

The mother insists that her sons must be faithful to their true Mother, who is both the creator and reviver of life through the resurrection of the dead. These texts invite us to consider what might change if we put images about women and mothers in sacred narratives into conversation with sacred texts that consider the role of women and ritual. Building on the idea, embedded deep within the Hebrew Bible, that true motherhood is experienced by those who give spiritual life to others, rabbinic writers suggested that as progenitors of the Torah they were comparable to life-giving mothers. Just as a mother incubates the child in her womb from outside dangers, Deborah is the sole guardian of the Israelites who shields them from foreign enemies. The poems that close the second-century BCE book of Baruch depict Jerusalem as a bereaved woman who accepts that God has separated her from her children in a just response to their sins: One example is the novella known as 2 Maccabees, which retells the events surrounding the Hasmonean rebellion in 167–160 BCE. At the center of this book is a legend about a Jewish mother who encourages her sons to be martyred rather than violate Jewish dietary laws. God is a seamstress for the first man and woman, the provider of food to the Israelites in the wilderness, and the continual sustainer of life. Rather than imagining God as a mother figure, these texts focus on how one’s love for God is akin to one’s love for one’s mother. The failure of Zion to protect her children lies at the heart of her shame. This image of God as mother extends through biblical tradition as a way to highlight the mystery of God’s attachment to Israel. Later, images of motherhood are applied to Zion and to Jerusalem, though in a very different way. And later still, the rabbis ascribed to themselves the status of motherhood by way of their work as Torah teachers. The Hebrew Bible preserves many images of God acting in a motherly way.
