A woman ended her pregnancy in Kentucky. The aftermath was inevitable, because MAGAts say women have no rights (from the Guardian):
A Kentucky woman is facing multiple criminal charges after she allegedly induced her own abortion using medication.
Kentucky state police arrested the woman, Melinda S Spencer, 35, on charges of fetal homicide in the first degree, abuse of a corpse and tampering with physical evidence, according to a local Kentucky news outlet. Spencer reportedly ordered medication online to end her pregnancy, then buried the remains of her pregnancy in her backyard.
It is not clear how far along Spencer’s pregnancy was at the time of her alleged abortion, although police described the fetus as “developed”, the Lexington Herald Leader reported.
Spencer was booked into a jail in Beattyville, Kentucky, on Thursday, jail records show. She remained at the jail as of Friday evening.
Note that the police say the fetus was “developed.” They never say it was viable. That’s an important distinction, but MAGA Republicans don’t care about science (or women’s rights for that matter).
The Supreme Court’s ruling ending Roe v. Wade was an abomination. It opens the door for bringing charges against women who, by Kentucky’s backward law, have no say on what they can do with their own bodies.
The MAGA cult is responsible for this woman being put in jail for something that was legal for decades before the Orange Menace cheated his way into the White House.
