On May 7, after an induction and 15 hours of intense labor, Andres gave birth to a stillborn baby girl. The baby weighed 8 pounds and 13 ounces.

Andres was told that maternity leave does not apply to people in her situation, but instead is used for people who "give birth and care for a healthy newborn baby."

And yet people still move to this state and Florida in droves. Liberal people from California. I don't understand why people keep moving to Texas with it's terrible social pact and power issues. The businesses only move there because the workers are there too.

It's cheap and usually a great place to live with negatives that will only affect some of the poorer people, and certainly not the rich liberals that are moving here. Source: live in Texas
