A stillbirth & #Facebook post expressing her grief landed her in prison for >2 years. Experts say it’s part of a pattern
…Rousseau was arrested & charged with felony manslaughter before she was convicted in Nevada, where #abortion is LEGAL, under what legal experts say is a vague & broadly written statute that makes it a crime for any woman to take drugs [she only took cinnamon] with the intent to terminate a pregnancy.…

She was also charged with concealing birth, a misdemeanor, but was not convicted on that charge.
Rousseau’s case fits an emerging pattern where #women are swept up in #criminalization – even in states where #abortion is legal – by prosecutors reaching for antiquated statutes or laws that were never intended to punish #pregnant women & those experiencing #pregnancy loss or birth, including abuse of a corpse, child neglect or even homicide, acc/to several abortion #law experts….
“There’s been a really dedicated effort to #criminalize #pregnancy outcomes alongside #abortion,” said the legal director of nonprofit Pregnancy Justice, Karen Thompson.
There has been a notable uptick in these cases, in a separate but parallel lane to cases linked to stricter anti-abortion laws, since #SCOTUS overturned #RoeVWade in 2022 & stripped the federal constitutional right to abortion, the experts said.

have more babies
but if you get an ectopic pregnancy you can die from that or be put in prison for getting necessary and appropriate medical care
if you miscarry, which happens in 25-50% of pregnancies you will also be put in prison
GOT IT
That's pretty much the opposite of what was described above.
Above was described hiding pregnancy and inappropriate medical care, not being open and seeking correct care.
I don't think you got it.
