Ban on birth photos irks western Md. moms-to-beSome expectant parents in western Maryland are objecting to a new policy that bans birth photography at the Hagerstown hospital.
The change took effect Nov. 1, prohibiting video, film or still photography until five minutes after birth.
...The U.S. Office for Civil Rights says birth photography by a family member or friend doesn't violate privacy laws, but that some hospitals prohibit it out of a fear of lawsuits.
Reason #41,633 why tort reform is needed. If moonbats get their way, the only birthing pictures allowed will be for
mutilated women pretending to be men:
Maryland is descending one regulation at a time into totalitarianism. Just a few weeks ago, there was this news from the same state:
Good Samaritans Face Fine After Rescuing Deer From Icy Water |
| Banned, by order of moonbats |
...Strangers banded together to pull a deer out of the freezing water of the Patapsco River on Thursday night.
“We seen the deer going under,” said Khalil Abusakran. “It couldn’t maintain. It was starting to freeze, and it was really getting bad.”
Abusakran brought a raft, and Jim Hart joined him.
“We had oars and shovels to break the ice, for the deer to get out,” Abusakran said.
But in the excited aftermath of the rescue, a Natural Resources Police officer on the scene wrote both men a ticket.
“And he didn’t say anything,” Jim Hart said. “We went in and out of the water numerous times. He didn’t stop us at all.”
They say they were ticketed for not wearing life vests, although both are over the age for mandatory use of flotation devices.
...The ticket itself doesn’t check off any specific violation, just a $90 fine.
Maryland is being infected by the ruling class mentality seeping out of DC and into the streets.
