[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I read the other day about a woman in one of the southern states (Texas?) prosecuted for a miscarriage, based on accusations that she deliberately caused it. Need to ind the link. She was sentenced to jail, spent 2 years but has had her sentence overturned but the prosecutor is threatening to go after her again. [/quote]

Here’s the link. It was Nevada

Not the best example, there were a lot of problems with that situation, including the pregnant woman. She was in the third trimester, smoking meth. Everyone involved in that case is awful.[/quote]

+1. She was actively trying to get rid of the baby, but it doesn’t seem that what she was trying is what led to the stillbirth. But this woman is like the stereotype of what everyone insists is NOT what leads women to seek abortions… sleeping with multiple men at a time, apparently no birth control, heavy drug use, etc. Also, FWiW, this was in 2018… pre Roe v Wade being overturned. Using a law from 1911.

This article says, though, that most laws are written such that it’s the doctor, not the pregnant woman, who will be prosecuted. [/quote]
