    No she was one of several women imprisoned under a new Alabama statute for “chemical endangerment of a fetus.” You know, a “crime” that already can’t be committed again by the time the imprisoned reach trial for it because of the way our “justice” system works.

    Those women aren’t allowed to endanger a fetus, but the all-knowing authorities are, apparently. (Yes, let’s forcibly cold-turkey detox a pregnant person who was using. Great idea.)

      Oh I read the article last week and misremembered what the 15 years was for. Either way, not one person was actually interested in protecting her fetus.

      What do you mean? The article says that she has faced several chemical endangerment charges over the years.
