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.

The DAs who prosecute these cases deserve life in prison at the minimum.

Oh, I know. That’s what the At Least part was for.
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.
300 years ago they’d have been burnt at the stake for witchcraft. This isn’t much of an improvement.
Even worse, I’ve seen evidence that they might vote in ways other than approved by their husband. Can you even imagine?
/S Hopefully this want needed but ya know
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.
I didn’t say it was easy. I know how much it costs and it’s not an easy proposition. Given the alternative of living in a state where a woman denied her body autonomy I feel that it should put some serious pressure on finding a way to get out of the state when they can.
I, too, have moved states before (on a grad student shoestring budget), and also have have opportunities to move to Europe, so we did the math on the move cost. I’ve also got adult children who have moved with little more than a packed car trunk and a low paying job at the destination.
The US has such low wages that we don’t have “fuck you money”. That’s enough money on hand to just quit a job and/or move when things go wrong where you’re at. The more the rich depress our take home pay the harder it becomes to drop a job or fight against oppression by moving away from it. We’re in a bad spot as a nation in many aspects and having too few resources to move when society decides to own your uterus is just one of those problems.
