Well. We can't have a person in jail who hasn't done anything wrong.
Why does the GOP support this idea?

 

Seems like the obvious solution is that she needs to be charged with kidnapping as well. Dem gonna dim.

 

The legal guardian kidnapping it's own child?
That's legally not possible.

 

Republicans only follow the law when they agree with it.

 

that’s a fetus, not a person. The mother murdered someone.

 

It's suggested the fetus is a person with rights, and so you can't kill it.
And so when the fetus must be regarded as a person, than it can't be in jail for a crime it did not commit.

 

she did not have an abortion, she is using the anti-choice logic to get out of jail, if it's a person, then she has a point... is it?

 

As soon as she gives birth it can be released to the appropriate person.

 

It’s not a person, it goes to a nursery after being born while the mother remains in jail for murder.

 

No it’s not. She’s also a murderer and a clown, who has now made America worse with her irresponsible mitt.

 

Whao, now that's a conundrum worth exploring in a court of law.

 

I can appreciate the attempt at exploring a legal loophole, but I think a court would likely shoot this down in a heart beat.

Even if we consider a fetus it’s own distinct legal person (I don’t think it is), you’d be hard pressed to demonstrate that its material conditions are any different for being in a womb that’s imprisoned.

 

Don't give Florida any ideas. They will ban pregnant women from attending drag shows.

 

It's either a person who you can not kill by way of an abortion, or it's not a person.
I doubt the court is going to make it an identity flued lifeform.

 

The court wouldn’t have to see a fetus as “identity fluid” to shoot down the case mentioned in the OP.

In what way is a fetus’ material conditions different in an imprisoned womb vs one that is not?

 

Not seeing how this could ever justify imprisoning innocent people.

 

cause a fetus is not a person until it's born

 

I’m not seeing how an innocent person is being imprisoned in this case.

 

Ok

 

they are not, that is the point, no one has been born yet

 

Agreed.

 

But the fact that a foetus is a “person” is one of the fundamental tenets of anti choice legislation

 

Excuse me but if a fetus is not a person then how can abortion be murder? (Not that the woman in this particular case had one.) I see a legal dilemma in those States with very strict bans on abortion developing. I wonder how they'll word the legal work-a-round. Should be interesting to watch.

 

So, anti-abortionists. If it has been shown that the miscarriage rate among imprisoned females is higher than those outside
the Prison environment, then if you consider the fetus a separate person, how would you justify keeping a
pregnant person in prison - the right to life, and all?

 

It's already in confinement.
