This is crazy. Apparently the woman got into a fight with another woman about the father of the baby. This resulted in her being shot in the abdomen and the baby dying. She now has been indicted for manslaughter by an Alabama grand jury because SHE was the one who instigated the fight. That's right. The woman who SHOT her was not charged, SHE was because one can always anticipate when they are going to be shot, right?
This is one more example of certain people in the country putting the lives of unborn children above the lives of WOMEN and, well, children already born who are migrants, who are poor, who need health insurance, who need food, etc. Sickening.

I'm with @DWDavis here. You have to see the whole picture. It is not as cut and dried as you make it sound. It is this kind of reporting (in other words incomplete) that muddies the waters.

@NJChicaa I also do not think she should have been indicted. After reading up on the whole story though she absolutely did put herself and baby in harm's way. She'll have to live with that. The other woman did not just randomly shoot her for the heck of it. She also did not even shoot at the woman. It was the ricochet that hit her.
Terrible thing to happen for sure and sad that Alabama has such strict laws.

I think people should be able to live their lives with the expectation that they won't be shot. I'm not saying that the woman was right to start a fight but to be shot/lose the baby and then to be indicted when SOMEONE ELSE shot you, is insane to me

I do not understand very much of the law, but this seems wrong to me. I would like to see how this turns out.

That sounds strange and crazy. Yes she might be an irresponsible mother to be. What about the other lady??
