The lawsuit, filed by Pregnancy Justice on behalf of McElroy and her daughter, further claims that medical staff gave her only a diaper and Tylenol while she endured severe pain and worried about the safety of her baby.
According to the complaint, another inmate eventually assisted McElroy in delivering a baby girl who was not breathing when she was born on the prison floor, as prison guards watched. The filing says two women housed in the same pod attempted to revive the newborn by removing mucus from her mouth and rubbing her until she finally cried.
The complaint also alleges that, after the delivery, a guard told the women: “Y’all should’ve pushed that motherfucking baby back in” and punished the women on the cell block, prohibiting them from going outside and to religious services, and revoking phone privileges.
Seeing lots of dehumanizing wording here. I think it is important to acknowledge that this behaviour - as disgusting as it is - is very very very human. Humans who abuse other humans under the excuse of being the better humans because morals each group uses for themselves to justify dehumanizing the other group. only if we are aware of how the human condition is affecting how we approach the world can we find a way to make this world a place that holds hope for those who are not in power! Also: pigs are great creatures that dont display antisocial behaviour like seen here.
