A woman was arrested for "chemical endangerment" for using drugs while pregnant. The problem: She wasn't pregnant. So officers released her, but told her if she gets pregnant in the next few month she will be re-arrested.

The people who told us we were overreacting when Roe was overturned were never arguing in good faith and also they were very wrong.

Alabama case over mistaken pregnancy highlights risks in a post-Roe world

An ongoing lawsuit in Alabama typifies the far-reaching criminalization of women enabled by some anti-abortion ideology and the U.S. Supreme Court’s recent <a href="/world/us/us-supreme-court-overturns-abortion-rights-landmark-2022-06-24/">ruling</a> overturning Roe v. Wade.

@evacide I think I'd go with very mendacious, rather than very wrong. Too bad anyone believed them; that whole movement is openly in bad faith.

@acdingman @evacide I don't think they were alllllll lying. Lying is intentional. I think a lot of folks who told us not to hyperventilate sat in privileged positions of "lol just politics" ignorance, genuinely unaware how far things had already gone.

Well intentioned, tragically misguided headasses who thought the bodily autonomy boulder was sitting still at the top of the slope before Gorsuch/Trump/Kemp/Kavanaugh/Barrett/Abbott/Casey, or whatever made them notice something was wrong.
