The story began in early 2017, when Abigail Piland was born without any obvious problems. But when the midwife who helped deliver her checked back the next day, Abigail didn’t look healthy. The midwife told mother Rachel Piland to take the child to a hospital because the baby “could suffer brain damage or die if not properly cared for.”
Rachel refused, insisting “God makes no mistakes.”
Days later, Abigail was dead. (Rachel and her husband Joshua then prayed for Abigail’s resurrection. Surprise: That didn’t work, either.)
A medical examiner later attributed the death to “unconjugated hyperbilirubinemia and kernicterus,” both jaundice-related problems that were treatable. Abigail never had the chance to see a doctor when blood was coming out of her mouth, or when she wasn’t eating, or when her skin became further discolored. All because her parents put more trust in God than someone who could actually help.
These stupid fucks were mentioned on the Friendly Athiest blog and podcast earlier this year. Look it up. It’s a good read / listen.
Monsters. Religion kills. Why do you think abortion is illegal for women who have been raped? Religion.
Interestingly the brother isn’t fanatical which would seem to suggest that the husband was the one that got Rachel involved in it.
And they claim “God makes no mistakes.”
Well, they are the mistakes.
A sentence of menopause in prison is an amazing idea.
Now that sounds like justice to me.
Could just surgically sterilize them.
