Miscarriages are hard enough on a woman, then to be incarcerated because of it. The utter physical pain of having a miscarriage mixed with the grieving of the loss, overbearing guilt and shame, the feeling of "something is wrong with you", the deep deep sadness. This is something those who are responsible for this disgusting legislation will never experience! I could have gone to jail 5 times! This is akin to putting the mentally ill in jail. Real healing centers are what is needed in these
instances, not jail!

Who is directly responsible for this attack on women? And why?

"How can people be so ugly? How can people be so cruel?"
