A woman faces a murder charge in Texas over an alleged self-induced abortion

[initforme]

I'm against abortion for the most part. Contraception is readily available and inexpensive. There's no excuse really.

I have no idea if anyone was ever executed for a failed suicide attempt. I simply said it was punishable by execution. Also note use of the past tense.

Interestingly though, many countries do criminalize suicide, and in England suicide attempts were punishable by execution.

In the same sentence you switch from present to past tense?

Whatever...you're an idiot

 

[Stormy Daniels]

In the same sentence you switch from present to past tense?

Yes. Two entirely different clauses, one present tense and one past tense. It's really quite common. Bummer that you are too stupid, and that your education was so lackluster, that you can't figure it out. (Oh look, I did it again.)

Fuck feminism. It ceased being relevant as a movement decades ago.

Because she isn't a doctor, she could've killed herself in the process which brings me to this question. When a person fails at committing suicide, can they be arrested and charged for attempted murder?

God bless you always!!!

Good news. After pressure from protests outside of the jail, and international outrage, the young woman has been released from jail, and has a huge support for her defense.

At a time when the right was making inroads with Hispanic voters, the arrest of this Latina will have negative consequences.

We're not laughing with you.

You're a loser, on a losing side of an issue, the overwhelming majority are against you on.

We're not debating you. We're taking the country away from you. What you do or think is irrelevant.

"released amid international outrage" ...

At least you are willing to admit you have to leverage opinions of people who aren't Americans to do so.
Thanks for giving us greater insight as to why you support Foreign Nationals.

You are obviously not paying attention.

‘A 26-year-old woman has been charged with murder in Texas after authorities said she caused "the death of an individual by self-induced abortion," in a state that has the most restrictive abortion laws in the U.S.
[…]
In Rio Grande City on Saturday the abortion rights group Frontera Fund called for Herrera's release.

"We don't yet know all the details surrounding this tragic event," said Rockie Gonzales, founder and board chair of of the organization.

"What we do know is that criminalizing pregnant people's choices or pregnancy outcomes, which the state of Texas has done, takes away people's autonomy over their own bodies, and leaves them with no safe options when they choose not to become a parent," Gonzalez said.

Nancy Cárdenas Peña, Texas State Director for Policy and Advocacy for the National Latina Institute for Reproductive Justice, said in a statement that abortion should be available on the woman's own terms where she feels most comfortable.

"Allowing criminal law to be used against people who have ended their own pregnancies serves no reasonable state purpose, but may cause great harm to young people, people with lower incomes, and communities of color, who are most likely to encounter or be reported to law enforcement," Peña said.’

A 26-year-old woman had been charged with murder after authorities said she caused "the death of an individual by self-induced abortion." A district attorney says she should not be prosecuted.

Exactly.

It is neither the role nor responsibility of the state to interfere with citizens’ decisions concerning their private lives.

So much for freeom.

Then you, and he, should STFU. Get your facts before you start hollering, "The Sky is Falling"

 

[Concerned American]

its freedom, your decision of what to do, if you have an abortion or not its really up to the DR. and Patient's. Its ok for you republicans to have freedoms but it not ok to have democrats to have freedoms. I'll never vote republicans again, they are full of hypocrisy.

Until Roe, murder has always been a crime in the US.

Look at the incredible number of women that RvW turned into stone cold killers. No wonder this country and its karma are totally fucked.

Not to mention the number of totally bottomlessly fucked up idiotic sluts it has turned women into, who simply no longer are capable of contemplating the fact that their actions have consequences.

If it takes two full time workers just to barely scrape by what do you suggest then? Forcing people who don't want kids to have them?

Families can get by with one bread winner if they want to.
