She had gone to the doctors twice complaining about pain. They did nothing.

Yet she was never charged with any crime.

This is ridiculous. Did they expect her to put her hand in the bloody water in the toilet to dig around for the small shape that might be the tiny fetus? She would probably have to pull apart strands of bloody placenta to be able to find it inside the afterbirth mass.

These Christian men are F**king crazy. Monitoring toilets of women who miscarry now?
