She was jailed for losing a pregnancy. Her nightmare could become more common

On 4 November 2019, TV stations across California blasted Chelsea Becker’s photo on their news editions. The “search was on” for a “troubled” 25-year-old woman wanted for the “murder of her unborn baby”, news anchors said, warning viewers not to approach if they spotted her but to call the authorities.

The next day, Becker was asleep at the home she was staying in when officers with the Hanford police department arrived.

“The officer had a large automatic weapon pointed at me and a K-9 [dog],” Becker, now 28, recalled in a recent interview. “I walked out and surrendered.”

Two months before, Becker had had a stillbirth at a California hospital, losing a baby boy at eight months pregnant. The King’s county prosecutor in the central valley charged her with “murder of a human fetus”, alleging she had acted with “malice” because she had been struggling with drug addiction and the hospital reported meth in her system.

1. D.A. Fagundes should himself be in the slammer. One woman was in jail 4 years. Jesus.

I encourage people to read the article at the link. It will turn your stomach.

2. Kings County, CA is mainly rural, military, and red - around 52%

So it's not so hopeless. This DA is on his last year, hopefully, he's got someone who isn't as much of a sanctimonious, woman-hating nut-job running against him.

He's apparently picking on "easy targets" - people with pre-existing problems that he can bully to make it seem like he's tough on crime.

But charging women who miscarry with murder is another level of sadism. He needs to be sued out of his smarmy existence. Along with the callous medical workers who contribute to his bullying of women and others already suffering.

3. That's why our candidates need to run ads

to remind women that miscarriages will be investigated...in a painful time for them, they will be under the microscope, accused of causing this.

That if you have a stillbirth, you will be under suspicion.

Heck, by Oklahoma's law, menstruation is possibly murder.
