Woman Shot in the Stomach, She's Prosecuted for Dead Fetus

For some reason this story is getting small coverage. It is important because it represents the future for women in a post Roe world.

A pregnant woman in Alabama got in a argument. She ended up getting shot in the stomach. She survived but the fetus she was carrying did not. Now, she is being charged with the death of a fetus for not stopping the argument before it escalated into a shooting. All charges against the male shooter were dropped.

This case is the prototype for all dead fetuses including what is called "spontaneous miscarriages." The dead fetus is a dead human being in religious-based law. When there is a dead human being law enforcement is tasked with determining the "cause of death."

Anti abortion groups should have a contest to see which person can come up with the most ways a woman can be blamed for a dead fetus. I'll name a few which come to mind.

--she was overweight
--she was underweight
--she did not get enough exercise
--she got too much exercise
--she was too tense
--she did not eat enough meat
--she ate too much meat
--she was late in her doctor's appointment
--she was early in her doctor's appointment
--she spent too much time driving to her job
--she worked too long into her pregnancy

None of these is any more outlandish than the case in Alabama where the woman was accused of not stopping the argument. Judges who believe abortion is sin and that women are more prone to sin than men will find any or all of my reasons for miscarriages reasonable. Some of the men who comment here will cheer women being sent off to jail for miscarriages.
