Ala. Code § 13A-6-1 (2006) defines "person," for the purpose of criminal homicide or assaults, to include an unborn child in utero at any stage of development, regardless of viability and specifies that nothing in the act shall make it a crime to perform or obtain an abortion that is otherwise legal. |
👏I disagree that life begins at conception. I will get that right out there. It is due to my own experiences with my wife and difficult pregnancies (and losing a couple along the way). But let's suspend disbelief right now and say I agree with Alabama, that these fetuses are in fact children in the eyes of the law. Why has a Guardian ad Litem not been appointed for the child?
The fetus has done nothing wrong and can't be incarcerated. Having read the article and all of the medical issues the mother is having with the pregnancy I would have to think any competent family lawyer in Alabama would be able to make a very strong argument that the fetus is better off out of jail with mom receiving all the necessary medical attention to make sure the pregnancy crosses the finish line (which is not a foregone conclusion).
The state does not have the right to represent the child. If this child was 1 hour old, he/she would have his/her own Guardian ad Litem advocating for the child's and ONLY the child's best interests. Why is that not being done here?
We all know the answer - this is not about the fetus/child - this is about controlling women.
Private citizens who used to be president?Who needs due process anyways??!!
Also places like rehab facilities or halfway houses or something other than freaking jail.Seems like there are other alternatives that could be used as a condition of bail, like periodic drug testing. There's no gun registration requirement, so the charge is simply pot, which ought to be legal anyway.
The rehab house thing was addressed in the article.Also places like rehab facilities or halfway houses or something other than freaking jail.
Also need to arrest pregnant women who: ride theme park rides, work out, ride in a vehicle without a seat belt, fail to take their vitamins, have poor nutrition, enter a hot tub or sauna, use hair dye products, use cleaning products, and subject their fetus to cats. All of these can be harmful in some manner to the precious fetus!!! These crazy baby killers must be stopped!Weird. I was repeatedly told that people were overreacting to Dobbs, and there was not going to be a mad rush to criminalize being pregnant.
Is it safe to assume that they are not arresting women who drink alcohol or smoke cigarettes?
you forgot eat soft serve ice cream and meat from the deli case.Also need to arrest pregnant women who: ride theme park rides, work out, ride in a vehicle without a seat belt, fail to take their vitamins, have poor nutrition, enter a hot tub or sauna, use hair dye products, use cleaning products, and subject their fetus to cats.
