Summary

States are increasingly criminalizing miscarriages and stillbirths, with women facing charges for failing to seek medical treatment or disposing of fetal remains improperly. The fear and suspicion following the Dobbs decision have exacerbated this trend, leading to investigations based on feelings rather than facts. Despite the lack of concrete evidence, prosecutors often suspect women of trying to end their pregnancies, resulting in criminal prosecutions.

    Why women stay in those “some states” is just crazy. Why men who care about any woman in their life don’t work to immediately move out of these anti-humanist states is beyond me.

      It’s not that easy to “just move” for most people, particularly if they’re not working in a professional field where they can get relocation with a new job, or save up enough funds to move. I say this as an American who moved to Europe, by the way.

    Seek expensive medical care where the doctors will run tests then do nothing and let you bleed to death in the parking lot. Do this or go to jail.

    Yeah, that makes sense.
