    So they’re being charged with two counts of murder because conservatives have consistently ruled that fetuses are people, right? They killed an innocent person by killing the mother. Even if the mother was guilty, the baby was innocent.

    Oh wait, they only want those rules to oppress women, not to oppress the oppressors.

      This was also demonstrated when a decision came up saying a fetus couldn’t be claimed as a tax credit. Rules for thee, not for me.

      Oh, you can pick a side. 😅 Literally all recent cases I can think of where this scenario played out (in France), recordings have come up not long after proving the officers were lying. The officers were never in danger, they were just looking for an excuse to murder racialized people. Not really a stretch to surmise this is the case here. Heartbreaking.
