They arrested an addict whose drug use may have led to a miscarriage, or who may have just had a miscarriage completely unrelated to the drug use, or a mixture of multiple issues.
There is no difference between this and obesity, alcohol, smoking, or poor diet. Obesity has a voluntary aspect to it, and increases your chances of miscarriage. Eating non-nutritious foods, micro plastics, not taking prenatal vitamins can all contribute to miscarriage. Getting into a car accident while voluntarily driving while pregnant, staying with a violent husband who beats you while pregnant… I mean where do you draw the line at making the pregnant woman 100% responsible for anything that happens while she is pregnant?

Ideally women are never charged with a crime for seeking or attempting an abortion. That should settle the issue.
It’s unfortunate that the solution is as simple as it is and it’s not being implemented.
Oh that’s very easy. The line is drawn at being rich and white.
The cruelty against poor and preferably non-white women is the whole point of such laws.
I love all the shades of grey that arise when you open a pandora box of biopolitics.
