Marshae Jones was 5 months pregnant. She got into a confrontation with another woman over the father of her baby. The fight ended up with the other woman shooting Jones in the stomach. She lost the baby. Now Alabama is charging Jones. As a pregnant woman, the state says, she should not have gotten into that argument.
So the state wants to control pregnant women and when they have disagreements with others?
So to recap, if you get into an altercation with someone and they have a gun and shoot you, it's your fault for getting into an altercation with someone with a gun. And the shooter goes free while the victim is deemed at fault and is charged in her own shooting.
This is where pro-life extremism takes us. And they say it isn’t about controlling women. This sadly isn’t the first time a woman in the US has been charged for a miscarriage though luckily it is very rare. Hopefully it stays very rare. When you treat a fetus, especially at any stage, like a living human, the logical next step IS to investigate miscarriages to determine if any fault can be apportioned, to see if it was really “murder.”
Well if they initiate one and it ends up killing their baby then they need to suffer the consequences.
Because losing the baby isn't a sufficient consequence?
Somehow a pregnant woman, who is experiencing a deluge of hormones, is supposed to not have any emotions, not get angry, not get into any arguments, and if she does, and the other person shoots her, it's the pregnant woman's fault. Because she's pregnant. Wow.
I thought it wasn't human life until it took its first breath.
