So, is Alabama a 'stand your ground' state?
nvm - it is. Google to the rescue.
I still think it could become a slippery slope if women are punished for a pregnancy that isn't carried to term. How far does that go? An auto accident where the woman isn't at fault, maybe not even driving. Any sort of accidental injury or illness that causes the pregnancy to terminate? Women aren't just incubators whose sole purpose is carry a pregnancy to term. What about babies born with congenital defects? Just how far can this go? My great grandmother lost nine. Did that make her a serial killer?
Thinking out loud here...playing out some scenarios in my head. They thought I was going to miscarry baby number 2 but I didn't. I hadn't done anything it was just a fragile pregnancy. What if the miscarriage had happened through no fault of my own?
Anyone with ideas on this?
