I also wonder if this lady would have faced legal repercussions had she been Caucasian. I don't know how racially diverse Indiana is, but I have a feeling that race may have played a role in this woman's sentence.

This is a pretty bleak case. Any woman could go to the ER for a miscarriage (induced or otherwise) or just plain heavy bleeding from endo/PCOS/fibroids and leave in handcuffs because someone feels that a fetus or potential fetus has rights.

I don't know that it is a race issue here but rather the fact that she probably did not have a whole lot of money to begin with and probably could not afford a good attorney. This woman comes from a culture where a woman does not have many rights, so she could have been fear mongered by prosecutors into admitting guilt when she was really innocent.
In big cities like Indianapolis and Gary, Indiana is diverse. In small towns, not really, mostly white folks there.Quote

I agree. That is why I am following this story as it unfolds. Not only am I hoping that this woman is set free, I am hoping that law professors take a few more steps and make sure that nobody else ever encounters any of this.

Stories like this one are direct confirmation of warnings that the pro-choice advocates have been giving for years: when abortion is restricted or banned, the authorities will then investigate miscarriages. Well, here we are.

On a small scale, it is already happening. If they find anything questionable in pregnant woman's body during a check up, they could report it. Doctor's office basically acting like a drug enforcement agency. No, pregnant women should not be doing drugs, but at the same time, if one substance can be reported, why not report something else. It is a slippery slope, ladies and gentlemen.

The irony for some is that two countries with such strict [anti-abortion] laws, El Salvador and Nicaragua, are run by leftist governments.

...the bill would allow the father to sue the doctor for damages, "including damages for personal injury and emotional and psychological distress," if the doctor performs or attempts to perform an abortion after the 20-week limit. The man does not need to be married to the woman or even in a relationship with her to sue her doctor, as long as the pregnancy is not a result of sexual assault or incest. The bill also says the woman can sue.

Ugh, I knew one of these whiny wanna-duhs from high school. He was all broken up that his high school gf "killed" their baby without telling him she was pregnant first. He nursed that thing "she did to him" for YEARS after high school. I heard about it when we were both still in school, then wound up working with him three years later.Quote

Did you read about that Wisconsin bill which would allow sperm poisoners to sue for the emotional distress of a woman hurting their peewins by aborting?Quote

Remember that creepy as fuck billboard guy (Greg Fultz; we discussed him here, and here)? He's probably creaming his underwear over this.
