They described it as possibly having the appearance of a fetus. That is not consistent with the birth of a viable baby. Considering that they've got helicopters over this, they would certainly mentioned this if it was an abandoned baby. But they consistently used the word "fetus".

"Fuck Texas"

I really want it just to be a really terrible period that the cops were praying over.

So — male sports team members can drug a girl, film themselves raping her and they get a slap on the wrist because "think of their future, those poor boys-who-will-be-boys" but a girl who has miscarriage is automatically presumed guilty of being a baby murdering Slutzilla and gets a Ferguson-level police response?

So it's her fault that she miscarried in a toilet. Oh, I see. If only she could have controlled her womb to prevent the expulsion of this child!

Holy crap, my brain didn't even register the suggestion that she carry to term and safe drop. You mean I could gave carried all my kids to term??? Why in the fuck didn't I think of that?

freaking numnutz, how could she carry full term if she had a misscariage? ? For the love of science.

Miscarriage insinuates the "little tyke" wasn't carried to term. So does the word "fetus." In fact, if you click through the link, the term the original story used was "possible fetus." (As Lindy quoted.) I think it's fair to assume there's no tyke here.

This could have been avoided if she would have carried the baby to term?

the mother could have avoided any criminal charges if she had taken advantage of Baby Moses laws by carrying the child to term...

Oddly, as I try and plan to have a desired child, none of the information about causes and prevention of miscarriage talk about prayer. Definitely don't smoke and it's better to be younger than I am; but nothing about prayer. Unless I should pray to be younger?

This is getting scary that you can be charged/prosecuted for having a miscarriage. If your body doesn't cooperate like it *should* and carry the fetus to term, be prepared to suffer consequences. As if you can even prevent a miscarriage or that a teenager would know what to do in that situation.

Fuck Texas; fuck anti-choicers; fuck "prayer" being part of a police investigation; fuck abstinence-centered sex education; and fuck leaving women in crisis (or, in this case, children in crisis!) with no viable options, letting them suffer alone, and then treating them like criminals for doing what they have to do.

Dumping water on a small child is called "bathtime". And yes, historically speaking it's mostly been cold water.

I'm assuming "ninja" is in place of the n-word.

BOOM! I'm making a human, y'all! Found out yesterday it's a girl, and all her measurements are right on track for 27 weeks. I was hoping for a boy first, but I'm seriously relieved that I no longer have to have the argument over whether or not "Angus" is a good name. It's not.

I mentioned this on GT, but I was in a car accident the other day. I was rear ended by a girl who was going about 40mph while texting. This hasn't happened to me before (I know, I've been lucky) and I'm pretty shaken up. I had a concussion and am in a lot of pain from what I think is whiplash. My boyfriend is…

bah. I was gonna say I was enjoying the brief few months when grays wasn't a thing. This is irritating.

MUST...ESCAPE...GREYS... HELPPPPPP

Why the fuck do you even care either way?
