Iran would be a better comparison with their civil war / religious war in 1979.
its almost as though the chickens are coming home to roost. no?

This also has the added layer of jailing someone who is struggling with addiction. Oof.
This poor woman needed treatment, not a manslaughter conviction.
Willing to bet her state doesn't have comprehensive sex education or free/cheap contraception. Welcome to creating a problem so you can ensure a poor and sick population to imprison.

A couple years ago I watched one episode of this show where women are slaves. Stopped because it was so unrealistic.
Me today: The show was probably right.
In case you were unaware, that show was based on a book written in 1985, which was based on real events that had all already happened by that point (and had been, for time immemorial).
It continuing to happen now should only surprise (or seem unrealistic to) those not paying attention, probably because they aren't impacted personally. Yet.
The author has publicly said she's seeing it come true.

Can't imagine how much worse it is now three years later.
What the FUCK is going on in this theocratic third world country with cellphones and guns???? How the fuck is the US still considered a leading nation????
If you step outside the US you might find out we’re not viewed as leading.
Threatening? Manipulative? Maybe even petulant? Sure. But leading by fear first, everything else after. Now we add fear of our instability to the mix alongside with the normal fear of economics or bombs.
The only people saying we’re a leading nation are the ones wanting you to feel good and/or ignore all the bullshit we do inside and out. The ones that yell “leading” or “greatest” the loudest are the ones fucking us over the hardest.

Stop adhering to the propaganda pushed on you and you’ll see that America is not what it claims to be. America won’t heal until you HATE it.

every jurisdiction that implements these barbaric laws absolutely deserves the massive and precipitous birthrate and population collapse they've just induced.
it's very hard to vote with your feet because moving is expensive and stressful and traumatic
but you know what's even costlier, even more stressful, even more traumatic? FUCKING INCARCERATION.
So... people will find a way. Even if they have to walk.
Even if they have to crawl.
They're leaving.
We've been saving since 2020, saw the writing on the wall then. We're moving this summer.
Can't afford to leave the country but at least we can get out of the South.
It was a hard decision. All I've ever known. I'm going to miss a lot of things. Especially the land and water.
I feel like I've lost my people. I don't trust people that look like me and talk like me. It makes me sad. It makes me angry when they think I'm like them and say hateful things about other different people.
I keep my mouth shut and we keep to ourselves as much as possible. We'll be out of here soon.

They arrested an addict whose drug use may have led to a miscarriage, or who may have just had a miscarriage completely unrelated to the drug use, or a mixture of multiple issues.
There is no difference between this and obesity, alcohol, smoking, or poor diet. Obesity has a voluntary aspect to it, and increases your chances of miscarriage. Eating non-nutritious foods, micro plastics, not taking prenatal vitamins can all contribute to miscarriage. Getting into a car accident while voluntarily driving while pregnant, staying with a violent husband who beats you while pregnant... I mean where do you draw the line at making the pregnant woman 100% responsible for anything that happens while she is pregnant?
Ideally women are never charged with a crime for seeking or attempting an abortion. That should settle the issue.

Oh that's very easy. The line is drawn at being rich and white.
The cruelty against poor and preferably non-white women is the whole point of such laws.

What a shit hole country
Anyone who would arrest or prosecute someone because they had a miscarriage deserves to be beaten to death. In Minecraft.
You don't have to say "In Minecraft" it's not a direct threat.
I had a very similar comment removed by some coward before.
The examiner did not determine a cause of death for the foetus, noting genetic anomaly, placenta abruption or maternal methamphetamine use could have been contributing factors.
How unusual is it for no cause of death to be determined in a post-birth-human case and there still be a murder conviction?
Did you know you can significantly degrade the integrity of concrete and cinder blocks using something like dexpan demolition grout and a drill?
