BREAKING: Woman in labor STUNNED as hospital brings judge onto video call to decide if they can force her to have a C-section.

A shocking new report from ProPublica reveals just how far the erosion of women’s rights has gone in post-Roe America.

In 2024, Florida mother Cherise Doyley was 12 hours into labor at a Jacksonville hospital when something unbelievable happened: hospital staff rolled in a tablet and told her to cover up.

On the screen was a judge in a black robe, along with lawyers and hospital officials. Doyley hadn’t asked for a hearing. She had no lawyer. She had just minutes to process what was happening.

The hospital had gone to court to force her to undergo a C-section against her will.

Doyley, a professional birth doula, had already endured three C-sections in the past, including one that caused a dangerous hemorrhage. She wanted to attempt a vaginal birth and understood the risks, which she believed were low.

But under Florida’s legal framework, that choice might not be hers.

For three hours, while she lay in a hospital bed in active labor, doctors and lawyers argued over whether the state could override her medical decisions in the name of protecting the fetus.

Experts say pregnancy is one of the only situations where courts may force a competent patient to undergo surgery against their will.

Even prisoners on hunger strikes often have more control over their medical decisions than pregnant women.

The reason? The growing legal doctrine of “fetal personhood,” which treats fetuses as having rights that can outweigh those of the woman carrying them.

And Doyley’s case isn’t isolated. ProPublica found another Florida woman who faced a nearly identical court intervention just a year earlier. Both women had previously undergone C-sections. Both wanted to try for a vaginal birth.

Both women were Black.

Ultimately, Doyley was rushed into surgery after doctors said her baby’s heart rate dropped. Her daughter survived — but the trauma of the experience changed her life. “I don’t think I will ever attend another birth as a doula,” she said.

The larger question now haunting reproductive rights advocates is simple: When courts can order surgery on a woman’s body while she’s in labor, who actually controls that body?

Oddly, it’s hard to think of a situation where a man would have such little control of how a medical procedure should be executed.

Taking control of another person’s body and choices against their will is slavery.

Women have less bodily autonomy than dead bodies, less than prisoners, and their lives now have less value than the fetuses they can be forced to carry in some states even when conceived through r**e or in**st.

Kill the patriarchy.
