    what the actual fuck is up with Alabama?

    "Alabama woman loses unborn child after being shot, gets arrested; shooter goes free"

    this is what you get when you have fundamentalist men and religious extremists in charge of policy

    • Sounds more like the Islamic State or Boko Haram. Sweet home indeed.Morning_star
    • if a pregnant woman instigates a confrontation with an armed individual, her actions are reckless endangerment of the child. how hard is this to understand?imbecile
    • Well, quite hard apparently. Especially for angry pregnant mothers.Morning_star
    • Imbecile is right. If you have the right to shoot somebody in self defense then there's no problem in the shooter going free.deadsperm
    • She's getting arrested for putting her child in danger by instigating a fight where it's legal for somebody to shoot you in self defense.
      Case solved.

    • Absolutely, Imbecile is right. I think the criticism here is about the systems and laws that support this outcome.Morning_star
    • That argument only works if you consider an unarmed pregnant woman lethal enough to shoot with a gun.monospaced
    • It's all about living your truth. If you feel your life is in danger you can shoot to kill.deadsperm
    • Funny how only someone with a gun would consider their life in danger enough to shoot to kill.formed
    • You people are fucked up.lowimpakt

    • "truth" was probably determined by a lawyermonospaced
    • No, a judge.deadsperm
    • Guy was hoping for a two for one.PhanLo
    • A judge ruled on it, sure, but truths like you are talking about are often generated by lawyers to make a case. This I thought was obviousmonospaced
    • In any case. It looks like we’ve found a loophole for legal abortions in Alabama! Just have your doctor claim self defense as he kills the fetus. Win win.monospaced
    • Now you're talking!deadsperm
