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 imagine officers wouldn't know enough science to understand lifespan of drugs in a body is short. Many meds say not to take them with grapefruit but a person can still have grapefruit for breakfast and take meds 8 hours later.

Wonder if they'll try to arrest potential fathers for chemical endangerment too? Don't do drugs befor sex!! Odds are they'd need to arrest most male officers for that too
