I do not normally post links to petitions, but this one just has to be posted.

A pregnant woman who found herself in a difficult situation tried to kill herself. She later submitted to all the medical procedures recommended by the doctors, but the baby did not survive. She is now charged with murder and is facing decades and decades in prison. She has already spent some time in prison.

This is not right. The law that is being used against her was passed in order to protect fetuses from THIRD PARTIES who might attack the pregnant mom. The law has never been used against the mom. It really is not right to punish somebody for suicidality SO HARSHLY.

I did not agree with this law when it first came out and certainly not when used like this. She is not the first and will not be the last woman who this law has been used against.

Are you KIDDING ME? This is SICK.

This is SICK!

Who the hell thinks this is OK?

Is the world ****ing nuts?

YOU'VE GOT TO BE KIDDING ME!?!?



Someone needs to invade Indiana and fix this. Get those religious freaks spread out a little so they don't do crazy stuff like this anymore.



The good news is that this makes me a sane person.

I'll refrain from comment. I'm likely to get censored.

I don't care if I get censored because this makes me raging mad.

This is evil and I don't tolerate that.

I can't even begin to say why I think this is so very very wrong.
