'I felt like a walking coffin': Woman, 42, says she was forced to carry her dead fetus inside her for TWO WEEKS after Texas doctors refused to perform D&C until she got 'additional evidence' that her baby didn't have a heartbeat

A beauty YouTuber has claimed that she was forced to carry her dead fetus inside of her for two weeks after Texas doctors refused to remove it because they said she needed 'additional evidence' to prove it didn't have a heartbeat amid abortion bans in the state.

Marlena Stell, 42, from Houston, recalled being ecstatic when she learned that she and her husband, Ab DeSilva, were expecting their second child together last year.

However, the makeup guru's excitement soon turned to heartbreak when she found out around nine weeks into the pregnancy that she had tragically lost the baby.

She was informed that the fetus no longer had a heartbeat, which she described as 'devastating,' and she planned to receive a dilation and curettage (D&C) - a procedure designed to remove a fetus from a women's uterus following a miscarriage.

Marlena was then told by doctors that due to Texas' law regarding abortion, which went into effect on September 1, 2021, she needed to schedule a second ultrasound to 'verify that the pregnancy is no longer valid' before they could give her 'any sort of medical intervention' - which resulted in her having to live with the deceased fetus inside of her for two extra weeks.

Notice tht the pro-abortion crowd always finds hard cases, the exceptions to the norm, to dredge up?

Youbute is so full of Drama Queens. “look at me, look at me, oooh poor me”. This is a publicity stunt. I’ve noticed that except for a very few, most of the female youtubers have nothing interesting to say.

It’s the men that interest me.

Now Emily D. Baker is very good but most of them? It’s like freaking Junior High School

“Abortion propaganda get used to it”

BINGO!

The doctors could have checked themselves rather than wanting “additional evidence”.

When mothers lose a twin (its pretty common) they have to carry the dead one for up to 8 months until their body mostly dissolves the corpse to fuel the other baby’s development.

Two weeks?!! What a useless, whiny, sack of *****

More lies. Why does the Daily Mail post this BS when England’s abortion laws are more strict?

My wife had a miscarriage at 20 weeks.

She was torn apart by the loss, as it was very unexpected and everything had been going great until an ultrasound when the nurse suddenly got very quiet.

We steeled ourselves to accept the fact that, like so many other women in that situation, she was going to have to check into the maternity ward to deliver a dead child. She accepted it, and she said that delivering that baby and holding it for a moment before we gave it back to God was the last service she could perform for it as a mother—and she would do it the best she can.

Never have I been more proud of my wife than that day.

She claims.

Leftists claim all types of things which aren’t true.

If the doctors needed additional evidence to confirm the condition of the baby, then how can she be certain that the baby was in fact dead during the initial exam?

Imagine someone that is severely injured, possibly dead. Do you put a bullet through his head to make sure he is dead? Or do you check for signs of life and make efforts to save him if possible.

So let’s make up for this by killing a million viable babies.
