On a Sunday afternoon in March 2017, Sarah Mitchell, 24, gave birth to two premature twin girls, Ginnifer and Evelyn Mitchell, at her parents' house in Oregon City, Oregon. The twins arrived seven weeks before Sarah Mitchell's expected delivery date.
Sarah's husband, Travis Mitchell, 21, was present for the births along with about 60 other people, including family and fellow members of the Followers of Christ Church in Oregon City. Three "birthing assistants" from the church were also present, according to court documents provided to BuzzFeed News.
Members of the Followers of Christ Church practice faith healing and reject medical care and modern medicine in favor of prayer and anointment with oil.
==================================================
No prenatal ultrasound so she didn't know she was having twins, only read a book 'What to Expect when you are Expecting.' Laying on of hands & anointing with oil instead of calling for EMT help.
'None of the 60 people present in the house called 911 or rushed the newborn baby to a hospital because of their religious beliefs.'
One twin died of acute respiratory distress.
'On Monday, Sarah and Travis Mitchell pleaded guilty to charges of criminally negligent homicide and criminal mistreatment for their actions in the death of Ginnifer and for their actions related to her twin, Evelyn, who survived.' The surviving twin is in foster care.
These religious whackos got six years. Pentacostalist whackos.
