CALL TO ACTIVISM

An Alabama woman was imprisoned for “endangering' her fetus.”

Then she gave birth in a jail shower.

Sheriffs in Etowah county, Alabama, arrested Ashley Caswell on
accusations that she’d tested positive for methamphetamine while
pregnant and was “endangering” her fetus.

Caswell, who was two months pregnant at the time, became one of a
growing number of women imprisoned in the county in the name of
protecting their “unborn children”.

But over the next seven months of incarceration for “chemical
endangerment” in the Etowah county detention center (ECDC), Caswell was
denied regular access to prenatal visits, even as officials were aware
her pregnancy was high-risk due to her hypertension and abnormal pap
smears, according to a lawsuit filed on Friday against the county and
the sheriff’s department.

She was also denied her prescribed psychiatric medication and slept on a
thin mat on the concrete floor of the detention center for her entire
pregnancy.

When her water broke and she pleaded to be taken to a hospital, her
lawyer says, officials told her to “sleep it off” and “wait until
Monday” to deliver – two days away.

During nearly 12 hours of labor, staff gave her only Tylenol for her
pain, the suit says, allegedly telling her to “stop screaming”, to “deal
with the pain” and that she was “not in full labor”.

Caswell lost amniotic fluid and blood and was alone and standing up in a
jail shower when she ultimately delivered her child.

She nearly bled to death.

Republicans are Pro-Life my ass.

And did they "execute the baby" like Donald keeps telling us?

They might have called in Hamas to have it decapitated. But, come to
think of it, "Decapitated Babies" would've made a great name for a punk
band.
