That’s when things got really bad and really crazy. Alone, distraught, and frightened, Taylor confided in the nurse treating her that she hadn’t always been sure she’d wanted this baby, now that she was single and unemployed. She’d considered both adoption and abortion before ultimately deciding to keep the child. The nurse then summoned a doctor, who questioned her further about her thoughts on ending the pregnancy. Next thing Taylor knew, she was being arrested for attempted feticide. Apparently the nurse and doctor thought that Taylor threw herself down the stairs on purpose.
What’s “feticide”? In Iowa it’s “to intentionally terminate a human pregnancy, with the knowledge and voluntary consent of the pregnant person, after the end of the second trimester of the pregnancy.”
The good news? The D.A. decided not to prosecute.
This shit is never going to end.
Taylor,
Too bad she can’t sue the living crap out of them!
I am not a history buff, but I wonder if the RWers in this nation have always been anti-woman? They sure are, today.
Short answer…YES
The D.A. decides not to prosecute because the preganancy was actually in the second, not third, trimester.
At least the D.A. didn’t decide to get “testimony” from the fetus.
