On an American flight from Kabul, a woman leaving Afghanistan gives birth to a daughter.

WASHINGTON, DC - A woman who fled Afghanistan has given birth to a child as a US military plane leaves Afghanistan. At the military medical center, she and her daughter are doing well.

“My mom started having contractions and started having problems traveling from an intermediate base in the Middle East,” the US Air Force Air Mobility Command tweeted.

The tweet continues: "The captain decided to lower the altitude to improve air pressure on the plane, which helped stabilize and keep the mother alive."

According to the Defense Ministry, the woman was taken from the plane by medical staff at Ramstein Air Base in Germany.

Members of the 86th Air Force Medical Group arrived shortly after the plane landed at the air base and took the woman and her newborn daughter to the nearest medical center. According to the Air Force, they are currently in good health.

The photograph of a woman and her family abducted from a Boeing C-17 cargo plane is one of the most astonishing photographs taken by the United States and its allies as it evacuates thousands of people from Kabul while that the Taliban take control of the country. ...

Since the end of July, the military has evacuated approximately 30,000 people, including thousands of Americans. Most of the Afghans who were evacuated by US forces are being treated at military bases in Qatar, but some, like the woman and her newborn daughter, have been transported across Germany.

The petition argues that their rights are being violated because they do not have the option to undergo regular COVID-19 testing instead of getting the shot.
