She was accused of murder after losing her pregnancy. SC woman now tells her story​


Orangeburg, South CarolinaKFF Health News —
Amari Marsh had just finished her junior year at South Carolina State University in May 2023 when she received a text message from a law enforcement officer.

“Sorry it has taken this long for paperwork to come back,” the officer wrote. “But I finally have the final report, and wanted to see if you and your boyfriend could meet me Wednesday afternoon for a follow up?”

Marsh understood that the report was related to a pregnancy loss she’d experienced that March, she said. During her second trimester, Marsh said, she unexpectedly gave birth in the middle of the night while on a toilet in her off-campus apartment. She remembered screaming and panicking and said the bathroom was covered in blood.

The next day, when Marsh woke up in the hospital, she said, a law enforcement officer asked her questions. Then, a few weeks later, she said, she received a call saying she could collect her daughter’s ashes.

At that point, she said, she didn’t know she was being criminally investigated. Yet three months after her loss, Marsh was charged with murder/homicide by child abuse, law enforcement records show. She spent 22 days at the Orangeburg-Calhoun Regional Detention Center, where she was initially held without bond, facing 20 years to life in prison.

This August, 13 months after she was released from jail to house arrest with an ankle monitor, Marsh was cleared by a grand jury. Her case will not proceed to trial.

This case shows how pregnancy loss is being criminalized around the country


Basically Maga is the Taliban under the guise of Christian Nationalism. The average Maga has no clue what is coming and thinks they will be part of the in-group.
 
Interesting analysis of the latest polls from Tim Miller of The Bulwark. Tim also discusses what voters think of Project 2025 (8:57). Good stuff.

I doubt any Maga understands all the procedures that are classed as abortion. The removal of any foetal material including the placenta is an abortion. Women with uterine bleeds will die or suffer permanent damage due to this nonsense.

At least the Taliban let you eat pets.
 
Dan Osborn, union leader, navy vet, took on Kellogg's and won, standing as independent a point ahead of the appalling Trumper Deb Fisher in Nebraska. Not endorsed by Dems but would be expected to caucus with them a la Bernie, Sinema and Manchin. He might exact a price but so be it if it keeps control out of GOP cult hands.
So Allred in Texas up v slug Cruz, Rowe within a point of the scumbag Medicare thief Scott in Florida. The Dems are staying clear of Texas and Nebraska nationally but about to go balls deep into Florida and Georgia where there's no jeopardy - all very interesting.
 
Huh? Source?

In Texas, the senate race between Colin Allred and Ted Cruz is now tied.

Idiotic for Dems not to invest heavily in Allred... and Dems aren't stupid so I assume that heavy backing of Allred will occur.
I think they will do towards the end of October after the DNC pour cash into FLA and GA. The 2 point lead poll I saw was last weekend I think , maybe there's been another one since, margin of error etc. Apparently Allred doesn't want the DNC involved yet , maybe after the debate.
Poll yesterday Cruz + 4, sounds like outlier, we'll see.
