[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’m just glad that poor kid never had to be born to such a loser mom. At least she won’t be having another drug addicted baby for the next four years. [/quote]

100% this [/quote]

This is so stupid. Laws like these won’t hit home with UMC women until it’s too late.

Imagine a college boyfriend who’s angry you broke up with him retaliating by saying you were drinking so you caused your miscarriage. Or better yet, a contentious divorce. What better way to get everything than to put the ex-wife in jail? Have you ever taken medication for depression? Anxiety? A glass of wine? An edible? Deli meat? Sushi? Exercised?

Once you open the door to criminalizing miscarriages, all adult women can be a target any time.

Everything in your list is legal.  Do you understand the difference between sushi and crystal meth?  One is ordinary life, the other is illegal to possess.[/quote]

This is a *really* naive view. [/quote]

It might be, but you can't get to a misdemeanor without a misdemeanor.

Start with jaywalking or public intoxication or something like that.  Not sushi.  [/quote]

The concept you're looking for is endangering a fetus and it's already illegal in many states. Stuff like this gets fit under that envelope or not depending on who the mom is. It's outrageous. No one should be here defending it. [/quote]

That's not what this woman was charged with or convicted of.  She was convicted of a misdemeanor that also involved the death of a person.

Slippery slope doesn't lead to a different crime.  [/quote]
