Mostly because pro-life is a flat lie, covering for anti-abortion.If I was having to refer to an anti-abortion group, sure.
I didn't mention anti-abortion groups though... I mentioned Pro Life. Though I get why a lot of people mix the two.

All fine. Pick your terms. I choose "anti-abortion" and "pro-choice" as the most specifically accurate terms that say exactly what they mean and don't say too much.True but since all this debate has happened, I've come to think of while everyone is pro-abortion (in certain circumstances) overall, this "pro-life" BS is a cover for being fanatical anti-mother/women/child. Because "pro-life" doesn't always mean pro-life, as exampled here.
It's also why I'm dropping the 'anti-abortion' thing for those who are 'against' it from now on.
In this instance, Alabama, a "pro-life" state, has no issues leaving a mother in medical complications while pregnant, yet they freak out and have some of the worst 'laws' in the nation for abortions all to 'protect the behbeh!'
Which of course invalidates/questions the so called "pro-life" stance.
I would agree. The term 'pro life" would suggest that the other side is "anti life' some how and that's not accurate, and pro-abortion would suggest those who aren't against abortion actually promote it, where they may not at all they just think people should have the right to decide that themselves.All fine.

Nah, they just waited until elected and then taught race theory in the schools. Sound familiar?Not BS, just not saying what their motives are.
I mean, the Nazis never actually announced their goal to wipe out the Jewish people.
Religious beliefs can make peoples' thinking pretty fucked. I don't normally do this but, my sister is my half-sister. Her mother died giving birth to her second child. Early on in the pregnancy her doctor strongly recommended an abortion because the chances of either her or they baby surviving were slim to none.A Pregnant Woman Was Kept in Jail for Months Because She Smoked a Little Weed
The 23-year-old pregnant woman was also forced to sleep on the floor due to overcrowding, she said.www.vice.com
Set aside the pistol and smoking weed...
"The woman incarcerated in Alabama, 23-year-old Ashley Banks, said she was incarcerated at around six weeks into her pregnancy, according to a Wednesday report by AL.com. After six weeks of being jailed, she started to bleed and continued to do so for another five weeks, AL.com reported. She was forced to sleep on the floor due to overcrowding, she said, even after being diagnosed with a condition that heightened her risk of miscarriage. "
Guess it's only Pro Life in certain circumstances... (which we knew, truth be told)
Since we're not told *when* she smoked the weed - either before she found out, or after - only that she did on the DAY she found out, it can't be said she 'doesn't care about the health of her child'.Religious beliefs can make peoples' thinking pretty fucked.

Being a devout Catholic she refused even knowing her life was at serious risk. Abortion was a sin, goddamit.
And if I'm not mistaken, there's a fair bit of religious fundamentalism in Alabama.
Doesn't excuse that shit though.
On the other hand, if she doesn't care about the health of her child (ie; smoking weed while pregnant) why should anyone else? Having said that, there should at least have been some concern for her health.
If it was not that serious, and the prisons were overcrowded, it does beg the question how she remained in jail. She should have been out on bail or likely have gotten a light or no jail time sentence if it was purely recreational. She likely wouldn't have even been charged. So I have to assume it's either more serious drugs or she was trafficking. Her actual charges and offense seem missing from this article.Since we're not told *when* she smoked the weed - either before she found out, or after - only that she did on the DAY she found out, it can't be said she 'doesn't care about the health of her child'.
And it doesn't say why she was smoking the weed, either. Recreational or was it for another reason? Considering other claims listed in the article people were held in jail while pregnant, even if it was a medical reason would get a woman put in jail.

There is no excuse for her treatment once she became a 'guest' of the state.
This has nothing to do with 'pro-fetus people' and everything to do with fucked up government bureaucracy.The Pro-fetus people are not helping this fetus, unfortunately.
So she got caught in the bureaucracy. One would think if they are keeping her for rehab, she would automatically qualify for rehab. But the stupidity of bureaucracy never ceases to amaze me,

I don't see that. I think applying that is a stretch. Looking at everything though the abortion lens distorts the view.In a way it does though.
Alabama is very "Pro Life" apparently, if you look at the abortion laws on their books.
Yet they're good with letting pregnant women suffer in jail for reasons they don't need to be in jail, and against advice of professionals.
Sure it's bureaucracy, but it's also ignorance about the actualities of people's lives.
This is a classic case of left hand vs right hand where 2 government programs do not work together even when they should.Bureaucracy, or just BS laws that aren't actually made to work with pregnant women who don't fit the "Definition" of certain issues (like addiction).
