•A woman in Utah gave birth to twins. When one was stillborn, she was arrested and charged with criminal homicide based on the claim that her decision to delay cesarean surgery was the cause of the stillbirth.

•After a hearing that lasted less than a day, a court issued an order requiring a critically-ill pregnant woman in Washington, D.C. to undergo cesarean surgery over her objections. Neither she nor her baby survived.

•A judge in Ohio kept a woman imprisoned to prevent her from having an abortion.

•A woman in Oregon who did not comply with a doctor’s recommendation to have additional testing for gestational diabetes was subjected to involuntary civil commitment. During her detention, the additional testing was never performed.

•A Louisiana woman was charged with murder and spent approximately a year in jail before her counsel was able to show that what was deemed a murder of a fetus or newborn was actually a miscarriage that resulted from medication given to her by a health care provider.

•In Texas, a pregnant woman who sometimes smoked marijuana to ease nausea and boost her appetite gave birth to healthy twins. She was arrested for delivery of a controlled substance to a minor.

•A doctor in Wisconsin had concerns about a woman’s plans to have her birth attended by a midwife. As a result, a civil court order of protective custody for the woman’s fetus was obtained. The order authorized the sheriff’s department to take the woman into custody, transport her to a hospital, and subject her to involuntary testing and medical treatment.

Who could have seen this coming?

Reblogging as a reminder.

A while back someone asked us whether or not you could be pro-choice if you didn’t believe in abortion yourself, and I responded that as long as your beliefs weren’t made into law, you’d be fine.

This is why anti-choice beliefs shouldn’t be made into law.

Awkward Moment of the Day

What we have here is a very unfortunate newspaper headline with an ill-placed image of a grapefruit slice that is supposed to resemble “G,” but it fails miserably. As seen on the cover page of Food section in a recent issue of the Minnesota daily newspaper Mankato Free Press, courtesy of the graphics department.

When I was 10 years old, some moms in my fifth grade class organized an end of the year pool party for our entire grade. It was one of the first times I can recall being sent into a tailspin of anxiety for weeks, because it meant I had to wear a bathing suit in front of my classmates. After many…

Happy 40th Anniversary, Roe!

If you read this in a book, you’d say the author went too far and the narrative was no longer believable:

If the gun advocates behind this year’s inaugural Gun Appreciation Day had hoped to use the day’s festivities to build support for their anti-regulation platform, they are going to have to wait another year.

[…]

A representative from Political Media, the group responsible for organizing Gun Appreciation Day, was not immediately available for comment.

This is real life.

It’s like the gun control talking points write themselves sometimes.

Back on the Radar of the Day

The 1990s rap duo Kris Kross announced that they are reuniting for concert next month in honor of the record label So So Def Recordings in Atlanta, GA.

One night when I was young, I stayed up all night and decided I was in love with Mac Daddy. Or Daddy Mac. Or both. I can’t remember. I believe i have yet to hear any of their songs. #truelove
