i’ve heard of forced sterilization, but not forced reproduction. was just wondering if there were any academic sources on it or if it’s a word-of-mouth thing that was LIKELY to have happened, since we can’t really go off what some stranger on the internet is “pretty sure” of, no offense.
it’s sick. reality is, pregnant women die. hard stop. that’s life. and she wasn’t far enough along to consider “emergency cesarean” god forbid she even knew she was pregnant in the first place. the decision should have been unanimous: she’s gone, put her in the ground - fuck “heartbeat”. georgia done pissed me off with this one.
it’s that there are far too many things pertinent to black history that are hard to read. they’re so cruel, however, it’s important to sit down and find sources and learn for yourself bc other peoples’ paraphrases will never surmount to the reality of the accounts being cited. now, a people’s history, the delectable n*gro, and a fb page called african american history iirc are amazing to start with.
Not to mention the only reason that baby was born when it was is because her body was rotting and could not support life. If she herself could not support herself and survive what she went through who in the right mind thinks a 8 week old fetus can and survive being born at a HEALTHY weight
