She's not being punished for miscarrying, she's being held responsible for starting shit and the ramifications from that. In alababma fetuses are people, hence manslaughter. Is your problem with the amount of punishment or that she shouldn't be punished at all?
Yes, she is being punished for miscarrying. Doesn't matter if the fetus is a 'person' in Alabama or not. You can bet your ass that if little Johnny got a hold of daddy's 9mm and shot his sister with it and killed her, Johnny's dad would NOT be charged with Manslaughter. So spare me your sanctimonious bullshit. And I can bet you'd never support a parent being charged if they refused to get their child treated for religious reasons.
