The View’s Sara Haines Uses Air Quotes to Describe a Baby in Utero as ‘Life’
EXCERPT:
HAINES: “Yeah, but there’s a really disturbing case, kind of touching on what you said. There’s a woman named Adriana Smith, a woman who was brain-dead because she went in having concerns about her pregnancy. They sent her home, she went back and it ended up she’d had blood clots. They kept her alive by ventilators, although her family wanted to let her go because she was completely brain-dead. But they did it to keep the baby, against her family’s wishes. And the baby was born at, like, one pound. But, like, to me, that’s such an overstep. If you go into the hospital and you’ve lost your loved one, because arguably they missed it the first time with their blood clots, she was a black woman, which is important because the maternal mortality rate — maternal mortality rate is awful for black women and people of color. But this is — this is an awful story where the government was allowed to keep someone alive for ‘the life’ in her stomach when her family was saying, she’s dead. She is dead.”
