Abortion

Arrested on Suspicion of “Feticide”

Just in case any doubt remained that the anti-abortion movement is spearheaded by sociopathic zealots, look no further than an Iowa woman who, upon going to the hospital after suffering from a fall, was arrested because she mentioned that she had doubts about her pregnancy.

Last month, after an upsetting phone conversation with her estranged husband, Ms. Taylor became light-headed and fell down a flight of stairs in her home. Paramedics rushed to the scene and ultimately declared her healthy. However, since she was pregnant with her third child at the time, Taylor thought it would be best to be seen at the local ER to make sure her fetus was unharmed.

That's when things got really bad and really crazy. Alone, distraught, and frightened, Taylor confided in the nurse treating her that she hadn't always been sure she'd wanted this baby, now that she was single and unemployed. She'd considered both adoption and abortion before ultimately deciding to keep the child. The nurse then summoned a doctor, who questioned her further about her thoughts on ending the pregnancy. Next thing Taylor knew, she was being arrested for attempted feticide. Apparently the nurse and doctor thought that Taylor threw herself down the stairs on purpose.

This is the ultimate conclusion of the Republican war on women. Perhaps the Ministry of Truth will investigate whether or not you thought about ending your pregnancy.
