I met him when I was 16, dated him for 6 years, and have been married to him for just about 50 years.

And that woman they beat with batons, and deliberately trampled with a horse... That behavior is unacceptable, that is criminal behavior. Those are actions taken by criminals, and they need to be identified, arrested and taken to trial.

Thankfully someone was filming from above them so that there is a record.

You cannot be that naive. She might have reacted to a white child taking a toy, she might have called the kid a brat. But she would have never called a white kid any racial slur. This is racism plain and simple and it's disgusting to make excuses for it.

Putin wouldn't fold. Trump doesn't know how to handle that so he noped out.

When the government starts promoting particular products, whether it's Goya beans or Teslas, there is a line being crossed. This administration is completely topsy-turvy.

That's what it took to get to the fetus and remove it. And they're blaming her for not doing it. There she was with a partially retained placenta, in danger of bleeding out, and she had the nerve to leave her toilet intact in order to obtain timely life saving health care.

And don't forget, she'd been to the hospital multiple times and left because she wasn't receiving care...all hospital caregivers and 'legal teams' were too busy trying to figure out if they could legally remove a dead fetus; they wouldn't do what needed to be done. Just left her sitting there while they argued intent of the law versus letter of the law.

"She put the fetus into the toilet." No, she didn't. The fetus was expelled into the toilet, along with bodily waste. She tried to get everything out, but she couldn't.

"She then went about her day." No, she didn't. She went to the hospital. She was bleeding (probably heavily) due to part of the placenta being left attached.

That's just two of the twisted statements the prosecutor has made in order to make this woman look like a heartless SOB.

It's gone too far, and short of removing Republicans from office and justices from the court, I don't know what we can do. They are prosecuting this woman to punish her for miscarrying in an inconvenient place.

It's worth mentioning that just 11 days earlier, had her miscarriage happened at the hospital, it would have been disposed of as medical waste...incinerated. 11 freaking days, and the state is criminalizing her.
