In Louisiana, a woman who went to the hospital for unexplained vaginal bleeding was locked up for over a year on charges of second-degree murder before medical records revealed she had suffered a miscarriage at 11 to 15 weeks of pregnancy.
It's an opinion piece written by two HIGHLY biased feminists. No evidence or background is presented in the op-ed.
What's this the name of this "Louisiana woman"? Why was she charged with 2nd degree murder? Where was she held when she was "locked up for over a year?" Do you seriously believe that every woman who goes to her doctor with unexplained vaginal bleeding ends up being charged with murder? If not, why was THIS woman "locked up?"

I kige this. It should have been all over the local news here if true.
It almost sounds like the source is one of those chain emails or Facebook posts people forward without validating.
I can see a second degree murder charge if she gave birth to a live baby and killed it, but I don't see any remotely competent doctor mistaking a first-trimester miscarriage for a full term delivery.

Yea OP left out some important deets:
quote:
In Louisiana, Michelle Marie Greenup, a twenty-six-year-old African American woman, went to a hospital complaining of bleeding and stomach pain. Doctors suspected that she had recently given birth and contacted law enforcement authorities.
After repeated police interrogations, Greenup “confessed” that the baby was born alive and it died because she had failed to provide it with proper care.
Greenup was charged with second-degree murder and incarcerated. Eventually counsel for Greenup obtained her medical records, which revealed that the fetus could not have been older than between eleven to fifteen weeks and that prior to the miscarriage Greenup had been given Depo-Provera, a contraceptive injection that may cause a miscarriage if administered to a woman who is already pregnant.
Greenup was finally released, but only after she agreed to plead guilty to a misdemeanor violation of a public health law that regulates disposal of human remains. There is no indication that the human remains law was intended to apply to pregnant women confronted with a miscarriage.16
