Pregnant Alabama Woman who was shot charged with Manslaughter of her unborn baby

[Brian37]

It seems to be Human nature to fear change. Pick any two or three generations, and the older generation will bemoan that the newer generation isn't doing things right. My room mate has been called lazy for not wanting to work 12+ hours a day, 5-6 days a week, for 8-9 dollars an hour.

BINGO!
 
SO SIMPLY STOP THIS CYCLE  THERE AND ACCEPT IT!



It IS FEAR OF CHANGE! And most of human misunderstanding and division is based on this bullshit!

Instead of blaming minorities, shut the fuck up and listen. 

A pale skin Koptic Christian, is going to feel the same fear a black minority in America has of our white majority.

Humans in general, need to stop basing survival on politics, religion or economics. WE as a collective species have far more in common than the differences we fight over.

FEAR OF CHANGE!

Fear of change is easy to defeat once you accept the planet is a globe, and the only home all of us have.

I think there might be a way this charge could be legitimate: perhaps she picked a fight with the guy in the hopes that he’d shoot her in the uterus. Why that specific plan? Because those fuckers made abortion illegal and that plan might actually be safer than trying to get it out with a wire hanger.

You start a fight with the wrong person, you get shot. I don't know what to tell you.

The issue isn't about the woman being shot.  It is about her being shot by someone else and being charged with the death of her foetus.

No, it's about her endangering a child.

Well, speaking as someone that can take a fighting bull 700 pounder head on, bare handed, how hard can it be to calm down a pregnant woman without resorting to shooting her? Even if it was a man.

Unless she was carrying an AK-47 and shooting around, I just don't see the why.

It's Alabama.

I remember when my boyfriend and I had to go across the state. He told me that we had to stop for a rest before we entered the state because we were not stopping until we were out of the state. I was young, naive, I had no idea why he had such a dislike for the state.

Now I understand. The state of Alabama is a despicable place.

I've heard that people in my state are all idiots, and possibly inbred, but never so dangerous that someone was scared to even spend the night here.

[no one]

Well, inbred idiots can be quite dangerous.

He's black. I understand there are black people who live in that state, but you also have to understand a reputation that comes with certain states. Alabama simply has a very weak reputation, and I don't blame my boyfriend for wanting to sail through a state so vile. (This is in no way saying that there aren't some good people in that state)

I have heard of those cases. It's what makes me suspicious that there's more going on when the shooter isn't charged, even though the woman who started the fight is.

There is more going on: a mother can be charged for the death of her fetus in Alabama. That's the entire thing. She wasn't charged with assault and battery, as might be appropriate in a case of 'she started it'. She's being held accountable for the accidental death of her fetus, period.

It is reasonable to hold an assailant accountable for the death of your fetus because they have no right to terminate your pregnancy against your will. Holding the mother accountable is a different matter altogether.

This is the heart of the matter.

No, it's about blaming the victim.
