The article you linked to says abortion. Is this what you meant by the word "miscarriage"? I got curious, because doctors usually mean by this term spontaneous termination of pregnancy, which would remove any intent from the picture; and can there be a crime without an intent?
- once_inc 4y agofollowing the link would have shown you the intent of his post clearly.

- grapeskin 4y agoPretty sure they're referencing this case: https://www.theguardian.com/world/2022/may/10/el-salvador-woman-sentenced-prison-after-miscarriage https://www.theguardian.com/world/2022/may/10/el-salvador-wo... El Salvador's government has a clear pattern of not thinking anything through. Going all in on crypto is just another sign that it's not improving.
- azangru 4y agoThanks, got it. The article confused me even more. It doesn't go into the details of the case, and talks about "criminalization of women suffering obstetric emergencies" (which emergencies?) in one paragraph and a "Citizens’ Group for the Decriminalization of Abortion" in another.
