Extended cut: Texas radio host Ryan Hamilton on wife's devastating miscarriage

Рет қаралды 80,354

Ай бұрын

When Texas radio host Ryan Hamilton found out his wife was suffering a miscarriage and the fetus no longer had a heartbeat, he said that was "only the beginning." In this extended clip, Hamilton tells "CBS Mornings" about the confusion the couple had as they turned to doctors for help treating his wife amid the state's strict abortion laws.

Biden has proven that he knows how to get legislation across the finish line and get it signed. Infrastructure, veterans healthcare, pharmacy price control, chips manufacturing, etc. Reproductive healthcare needs to be protected by federal legislation so that it is not vulnerable to extreme state legislators or the slanted SCOTUS that destroyed Roe. I find myself wishing that ERA had worked, because getting an amendment into the Constitution seems like another important way to avoid an overreaching SCOTUS.

And I was never ever offered my child to bury. If all these folks believe that eggs are babies and life begins at fertilization and all the other life beginning ideas not based in science just to pass laws to control women then where are our burials and cremation rights to our babies? They think flushing the baby away makes everything better. I heavily mourned my child for 18 years and 30+ years later I still mourn my child. And nobody else cared. No one. When will this society begin treating women with the respect and kindness they deserve? When will this nation, as a complete whole, start treating EVERY BEING with the respect and kindness they deserve? I did not catch the names of the family involved here. However, if you read this you can know that I send all of my blessings, respect, understanding, peace and healing wishes. Thank you for sharing. Your baby is now mourned by far far more people than those who have shared hateful cruel words with you. Take the kindness and love those you share with and wash that other, that negativity, away.

This is such a tragedy, and there’s a possibility that his wife has retained parts of the fetus in her uterus. That’s why they have to keep doing the pregnancy test to make sure her hormone levels are dropping which tells her that all of the fetus has been expelled. If not, she’ll need the D& C that they denied her in the first place, to remove the remaining fetal tissue. The most effective medication for miscarriage management (induced abortion) is usually a two drug combination and approved for up to 10 weeks in pregnancy. She was past 10 weeks. Texas has challenged the second FDA approved drug, Mifepristone, in the Supreme Court. They are expected to rule on it this summer.

This is a message for Ryan Hamilton. First, I'm so sorry for your loss and what you're going through. 40 years ago I had a 6-month pregnancy where the baby's heartbeat stopped. I had a 2-year-old son and fortunately in another year I had my daughter. Fortunately too. I had a doctor who responded quickly and I went to the hospital and delivered that stillborn baby with the help of a medication that brought on labor. When I've told people about that their answer is oh that doesn't happen very often. But It happened to me and as things go now, maybe I wouldn't be around to write about this if it was in this day and age. Women have come so far to have the rights that they have and the right to their own body and now it's being taken away. Shame on those people that made this happen. Again, so sorry for your loss.

All of us doctors should be suing the United States Congress for practicing medicine without a license! I became licensed in Texas in 1983 but I was an RN in 1970 and worked labor and delivery. I saw way too many women die before abortion was made legal in 1974. I left Texas because of their treatment of women. I found the best care was to keep women completely away from hospitals 96% of the time I had a perfect track record for delivering babies. The United States is now the worst place in the world for a woman to have a baby! I guess they don't realize that's not a trophy you want!

So sending someone home to miscarry a dead fetus is legal and putting the women at risk of something going horribly wrong which it did in this poor couples case is considered lawful medical treatment of a human being. Wow, dogs have have more rights than women in Texas. I am so sorry for your loss, and the absolute torture this lack of medical care has caused this poor young family.

i'm not a medical professional, but i thought the pregnancy hormone can be detected for up to 6 weeks after the end of a pregnancy. is she supposed to wait for 6 weeks with a dead fetus decomposing inside her before she can get a D&C? omg.

Yes. That’s exactly correct.

Gawd. I feel his pain and I feel so angry for him and his wife! He could barely talk because he's trying so hard not to break down. Texas nearly killed his wife after she had already lost their baby! That is equivalent to an aggravated assault that could've turned into manslaughter or negligent homicide had she died. This couple should sue the state of Texas and every single politician that did this to them through their ignorant and inhumane policies!!

Now imagine if this had been a woman without a partner to help: the driving, the childcare, the physical care of her bloody unconscious body, the grieving, the advocacy on her behalf, the fallout of everything. I'm thinking of that poor woman in Ohio who was criminally charged after her miscarriage, and all the woman everywhere every day who have experienced this lack of compassion and proper care, medical and otherwise, from their community.

This happened to me a long time ago in New Zealand. Had miscarriage week later started to bleed my husband took me back to hospital and thank goodness I was in a ward with a lady patient who noticed I was becoming unconscious I came to having blood pumped into me. I was a finger snap from death and this was 49 years ago you never forget. A dr had dismissed my bleeding as nothing to worry about !!!

@V.E.R.O. Ай бұрын

You would think hospitals would have attorneys on call for consultation in cases like this. Or that they would have established what the correct action is (according to the law) before a woman whose life is in danger shows up in need of an abortion.

@tigerlilly9038 Ай бұрын

Respectfully and compassionately as I can muster in my rage, may I ask in the comments section, to husbands (Pro-life Ones) may I, sincerely ask a question: what did you think this legislation was going to do to your wives in these circumstances? Without snark or guile, please I beg tell me what did you actually BELIEVE? I will respect all responses, I am just so curious.

First of all, to Ryan and his wife... my sincerest condolences for your loss. A few decades back, I had a baby that was stillborn at 34 weeks, so I understand your pain. I can't imagine having to go through what you and your wife did, all alone with no medical help... in a bathroom. There is no excuse for that kind of mistreatment. The fact that there are now people showing you such hate... it's just unfathomable. You should be treated with the same compassion as any other family that has lost a child. 😢

I thought 13 weeks is too far along for the pills. It doesn't sound like they were prescribed or explained properly, either. The farther along you are the more bleeding there will be. It's not blood from an artery. It's the lining of the uterus that is being expelled. This happens when you give birth, too. There is lots of blood for days afterwards and the area where the placenta attached is basically a large open wound on the uterine wall that has to heal. The reason they don't usually give the hormone pills for miscarriage after 11 weeks is because the placenta is more formed and its own organ by week 12. Ryan's wife was treated horrifically for no reason. To help understand more about what happens, please listen to a podcast called Science VS, May 23rd episode about the abortion pills. We need better understanding of pregnancy, miscarriage, and reproductive health in general.
