Reproductive rights and justice leaders had warned that after Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization, the Supreme Court decision that demolished Roe, anti-abortion activists would be emboldened to demand such prosecutions. These warnings were well founded. As new research released Tuesday by the advocacy organization Pregnancy Justice reveals, over the two years following the decision, hundreds of people were prosecuted for their pregnancy outcomes. The group identified more than 400 cases in which prosecutors charged a person for crimes related to their pregnancy, pregnancy loss, or birth. Using media reports, public records, and direct information provided to the group, the report offers a snapshot of who has been charged in this new legal environment. The most common charges, by far, were related to child abuse, neglect, and endangerment. In all, among 412 defendants (some of whom faced multiple charges), 399 charges alleged substance use during pregnancy; 29 alleged lack of prenatal care; and nine allegations involved obtaining, attempting, or researching an abortion. More than half of those charged were white. The vast majority of all charged were low-income.

Well, the poor female ones will go first. It's always been like that - the poors should be miserable and if they were to do what humans will do and engage in something like (gasp!) sex, they should have to pay the price, by gawd. Now the rich, on the other hand: since their god has blessed them with money, they are obviously worthy and any shame associated with sex or its outcomes should not be pinned on them, oh no.

But they'll work their way up through the various classes, I am sure.

I don't know if Thiel's money will protect him from a modern version of the night of the long knives. I don't know if Stephen Miller being in the modern version of Jews for Hitler (a real thing that existed) will protect him in the long run, either. Very few people will qualify to be pure enough for a radical right wing xtian white ethnostate, but a whole lot of dumbasses think they can ride that tiger anyway...
