In the United States of Alito, every miscarriage in a red state a potential felony

This is a really good thread:
I went to the doctor because I had a lot of pain in my lower back and pelvis, and had been nauseous for weeks. A blood test confirmed I was pregnant – until that point, I didn’t know.— Janneke Parrish (@JannekeParrish) May 9, 2022
The doctor brought me in to do an ultrasound, and confirmed that I had been pregnant, and wasn’t any longer. I’d miscarried, and that was where the pain and blood was coming from.— Janneke Parrish (@JannekeParrish) May 9, 2022
“How many kids?” they asked
“None,” I answered.
“Miscarriage?” they asked.
“Abortion,” I answered.

Intentionally or not, it felt like I’d become a suspect in the death of something I didn’t know existed.— Janneke Parrish (@JannekeParrish) May 9, 2022
Because if I’d known I was pregnant, I wouldn’t have gone. Miscarriages are already being prosecuted in the US. 1200 people have been arrested since 2005 for not carrying a pregnancy to term. https://t.co/yKzwJ6yDa4— Janneke Parrish (@JannekeParrish) May 9, 2022
Again, I think a lot of people have no idea what enforcement of abortion laws is going to look like between modern surveillance technology and the War on Drugs mindset. It’s the ideal American form of reactionary governance from time immemorial: a state that is incredibly intrusive in day-to-day life while providing few benefits.
