In Iowa, USA ist eine schwangere Frau für „versuchten Feticide“ ins Gefängnis gekommen. Die Frau, die einer Krankenschwester erzählte, dass sie sich zu Beginn der Schwangerschaft nicht sicher war ob sie das Kind wirklich behalten will, wurde beschuldigt sich absichtlich eine Treppe hinunter gestürzt zu haben.
She‘d considered both adoption and abortion before ultimately deciding to keep the child. The nurse then summoned a doctor, who questioned her further about her thoughts on ending the pregnancy. Next thing Taylor knew, she was being arrested for attempted feticide. Apparently the nurse and doctor thought that Taylor threw herself down the stairs on purpose.
According to Iowa state law, attempted feticide is an trying „to intentionally terminate a human pregnancy, with the knowledge and voluntary consent of the pregnant person, after the end of the second trimester of the pregnancy.“ At least 37 states have similar laws. Taylor spent two days in jail before being released. That’s right, a pregnant woman was jailed for admitting to thinking about an abortion at some point early in her pregnancy and then having the audacity to fall down some stairs a couple of months later. Please tell me you find this as horrifying as I do.
Oh ja das tue ich…
