Brickbat: All Alone
A federal lawsuit contends that Jazmin Valentine was forced to give birth on the floor of a cell in the Washington County, Maryland, jail. The suit says that nurses working for the jail's medical provider laughed at her and said she was trying to get out of the cell or told her she was suffering withdrawal from drugs, not labor. Jail officials called an ambulance only after the baby was born. A county spokesperson declined to comment on the lawsuit.

I’ve heard that prison guards are those who are to stupid to get into law enforcement . Apparently that goes for nurses also.
Nursing homes and prisons are employment of last resort in the medical community.
I certainly hope both people served out the remainder of their sentences for probation violations and were not let out on a technicality.
Seems legit.
Did they test the mom or baby for drugs? That could get the mother more time and the baby into foster care.
Seriously.
Ain’t Obamacare wonderful? The government provides all the healthcare you need.
Was she “forced” to be in jail or did she actually commit a crime?
She was in jail for an alleged probation violation.
I’m a pretty law and order guy, but probation violations can be as simple as wrong place wrong time, unable to meet with a probation officer for some reason, or a paperwork error.
It could also be something serious. I’ll reserve judgement without knowing the nature of the violation.
And, if you shit out a kid on the cell floor, the jail staff didn’t do their job right. Regardless of why you were in the cell.
Those mean old judges reversed Roe, and this is what you get.
Person alone in a cell alone gives birth to a clump of cells, alone, no special consideration given for xer clump-of-cells carrying status.
Depraved indifference is a requirement for being a cop. The bar is even lower for prison employees.
Indifference is a requirement for being human. Depravity is in the eye of the beholder.
Put her in a cell with an inmate that identifies as female. Alone problem solved.
Depravity is in the eye of the beholder.
Refusing to help a suffering Republican is depraved while doing the same to a Democrat is patriotic. Understood.
I said indifference/engagement and morality/depravity are orthogonal, or not strictly correlated, how you can think you’re identifying and addressing the problem while, in actuality, just being actively indifferent… and *that’s* where you went with it. How transcendentally non-partisan of you.
You said depravity is in the eye of the beholder. It’s moral relativism. Why not go partisan? Most of the posters on this forum would agree that letting Republicans suffer is immoral while adding to the suffering of Democrats is a moral duty. So I’m agreeing with you. What’s the problem?
What’s the problem?
So, should objective or even just commonly understood good exist, you’re seeking to obfuscate it. No problem, just clarifying.
Was what I said wrong? Isn’t “The Good Samaritan” a story about a chump?
Isn’t “The Good Samaritan” a story about a chump?
If you’re going to go partisan, might as well assert that Christ himself was a partisan hack. Again, how transcendentally non-partisan of you.
Similarly cops and prison employees see everyone who is not them as a “bad guy.” What moral obligation do they have to help bad guys? None. They’re bad. So in their minds what they are doing is not depraved. They’re just letting bad guys suffer. I’m agreeing with you.
new meaning to Born Free.
So… what was she in for? Twig and seeds? Roach in the ashtray? Driving while Latina? Voting a week before probation for twigs and seeds was up? Is forcing women to reproduce behind bars the new Christian National Socialist Lebensborn program?
