Has DEI even been as literally DIE as this?

The Mass General Brigham Hospital system is making a major change and it will impact their youngest patients.

The hospital will no longer report suspected abuse or neglect to the state solely if a newborn baby tests positive for drugs after birth.

Instead, hospitals will now require written consent before conducting a drug test on the expectant mother or infant, in most cases.

Mass General Brigham said the move is to address the “racial and ethnic inequities” present in healthcare, adding that substance abuse disorder in the context of pregnancy more “disproportionately affects black individuals.”

Every business needs a strategy and Mass General Brigham Hospital settled on, “come to us if you’re using heroin while pregnant. We won’t snitch to the cops because that would lead to racial inequities.”

And when more black babies die as a result of this policy, they will publish research studies blaming… “systemic racism” and racial inequity in hospitals. And then will respond by covering up even more abuses.

Who exactly is being protected here? Certainly not the babies. Obviously the mothers.

Black lives don’t matter here. Enabling abusive behavior that kills babies does.

“The goal here is balancing the safety of infants and families,” said Dr. Sarah Wakeman, senior medical director for substance use disorder at Mass General Brigham. “A positive toxicology test does not tell you anything about someone’s ability to parent.”

No, why would it? Drug-addicted mothers are the best parents in the world. Only whiteness and racism would make anyone think otherwise. Dr. Sarah Wokeman is heroically decolonizing medicine and overturning whiteness.

Baby, we’ve come a long way from 2015.

A mother giving birth to a baby while addicted to drugs is committing “child abuse,” according to Attorney General Maura Healey, who emphasized treatment when asked Monday if there should be a state law holding such mothers accountable.

Almost a decade later, mothers giving birth to babies while addicted to drugs are the new heroes.

Here’s more of the wonderful woke world that this latest DEI innovation in advanced anti-racism will usher into Boston.

Mya Barry was born in April 2011 with opiates already coursing through her tiny veins. But it was not the heroin passed to her in utero by her drug-addicted mother that killed the infant, prosecutors say.

Instead, it was the heroin-tainted milk bottle her parents allegedly handed her five months later in their overcrowded and squalid apartment in this South Shore town.

Some 1,300 babies in Massachusetts – about three to four each day — were born in 2012 with what is called “neonatal abstinence syndrome,” suffering withdrawal pains as a result of exposure to illegal opiates such as heroin or prescription drugs such as Oxycontin or methadone, according to a first of its kind survey of local hospitals.

The increase in drug dependent babies — whose withdrawal symptoms include stiff limbs, sweats, and uncontrollable crying — has hospitals scrambling to care for them.

Back then the media was critical of such things. A decade later it now recognizes that men are women and drug-addicted babies are a great thing.

A truly excellent thing.

What horror will the Left decide is really great next? Domestic abuse? Nazism? Putting razor blades in apples?
