Mika Burst into Tears Talking About Texas Woman Who Died After Miscarriage: Trump’s Bans Just Killed Another Woman

‘When you look at him as the protector, just keep that in mind’

EXCERPT:

BRZEZINSKI: "Well the abortion bans due to Donald Trump are certainly punishment for women. I've been bringing the stories here throughout the past two weeks of many women, many women who are just examples of many more women who are having reproductive emergencies or emergencies with their reproductive organs whether they are pregnant or not who are not getting the health care that they need. And the stories are gruesome, that they're dreadful. There are a horror that nobody should have to endure and I have to tell them because it's happening now. It's happening now. And this is a lot of the reason why women probably will be the beacon this election and turn out in record numbers. I've told the stories of women who have been sterilized, who have died, who have had to prove that they were dying enough. And now we have another story thanks to the reporting at 'ProPublica.' This woman here, Josseli Barnica, she was so excited to be having a baby, another baby. And she is now one of two Texas women on record who died after doctors delayed her emergency care. And it's important to say exactly how this happened. She was 17 weeks pregnant. She went to the hospital because a miscarriage was in progress. And according to hospital records the fetus was on the verge of coming out. And the moment medical care should have been administered, which was that moment, and the reason why they would need the medical care is that they would need to speed up the delivery and empty her uterus because that would save her life at this point. The baby was completely unviable. It was a miscarriage. And they needed to save her. And if you take the measures and do the health care that helps empty the uterus that then prevents her from getting an infection and dying. She told her husband when he rushed to her bedside they had to wait until there was no heartbeat and her husband told 'ProPublica,' they told him it would have been a crime to give her the care that she needed. It would have been a crime to save her life. Donald Trump is the protector of women? Because his bans just killed another woman. Josseli suffered for 40 hours in agony while her uterus remained exposed to bacteria, and three days later this young mother who was so excited about bringing another life into this world was dead. So Joe, that is just yet another story and there will be many many many more of life in America, Trump's life in America for women."
