Daily Kos advances outrageous and erroneous stories before appeal for $$ for PP

Three outrageous stories by Daily Kos  are followed by a request for donation to who else but Planned Parenthood !  Cherry picking facts, omitting some and emphasizing others  and drawing outrageous conclusions are apparent in this  account. 

First story comes from Iowa.  A woman advanced in her pregnancy  presented at the ER after falling  down a flight of stairs .  The Daily Kos indicated she was light headed and accidentally fell. I researched other write ups of this story and in another account states:
"According to police reports, officers were called to the hospital's emergency room after Taylor told a nurse she intentionally fell because she wanted to get rid of her unborn child. She also reportedly told a doctor she did not want the baby"
Now falling intentionally down the stairs could cause harm or death to the woman and as well as the pre born child. If a medical professional thinks you may be suicidal, it is not uncommon for them to call law enforcement and confine you  for psychiatric evaluation. It is legal to mandate a psychiatric evaluation for someone who reported  suicidal actions, in fact to do less could be considered neglect.

Also, feticide( According to Iowa law, feticide occurs when "attempts to intentionally terminate a human pregnancy, with the knowledge and voluntary consent of the pregnant person, after the end of the second trimester of the pregnancy where death of the fetus does not result." ) Later, the charges were dropped when evidence from the  OB-GYN showed she was still in her second trimester (2.5 weeks away from her third trimester) and what is unsaid, is that the subsequent evaluation probably decided that she was not going to harm herself. 

Did   the ER act properly when confronted with a woman who appeared advanced in her pregnancy who said she threw herself down the stairs on purpose?  Of course they did. Daily Kos makes the outrageous statement that she was incarcerated for considering abortion earlier in her pregnancy. They ignore the police reports which clearly state she told the ER personnel that the fall was intentional. The reports don't make the story they want to advance. They claim the " anti choice zealots" got her arrested for thinking of having an abortion."

In the second story, further investigation shows that the woman in question was 25 weeks pregnant, a heavy smoker and admitted to the hospital on what turned out to be false labor. Daily Kos advances the story saying she was at the dr.office and he wanted to admit her to the hospital for bed rest when she refused because she had two toddlers and a full time job.   They state she was admitted against her will and forced to undergo unwanted treatments but she miscarried anyway. Reports of the situation state otherwise.
"Circuit Judge John Cooper held an emergency hearing by telephone and ruled after taking testimony from Burton and Bures-Foresthoefel, but without obtaining a second medical opinion. The doctor said Burton's membranes had ruptured, that she was having early contractions and the fetus was in a breech position"
" Three days after the judge ordered her not to leave the hospital, Burton delivered a stillborn fetus by cesarean-section"
Not exactly stating the facts are they?  She was admitted to the hospital first and when she wanted to leave without the doctor's consent, he had the judge intervene. I note that the ACLU sued the state of Fl on her behalf and  lost.

The  third one is about a teen requesting a judicial bypass ion for abortion  in PA and being turned down . Now I know that the abortion industry is used to getting automatic approval in these cases and their own statement ( " ... bypass petitions are rarely denied"). They have their friendlies ready to do so but this judge actually had the audacity to exercise his judgment that she was not informed or mature enough to make this decision without parental involvement. Horrors, parents involved in the decision of a minor child!! They pounced upon his written opinion and point out one sentence that talked of her poor grammar. They try to imply she was denied her right to an abortion because she had  poor grammar.  Not true... but hey, we are advancing an agenda here and trying to raise $$ for the largest abortion provider.
Here is their final statement before the fund raising appeal for PP and link to donate to PP.
"...even if it means confining a woman to a hospital-bed against her will, jailing them for having thought of an abortion, or denying the choice to a teenager because of her grammar."
