Another Texas Atrocity -- Digby [View all]

https://digbysblog.net/2025/05/23/another-texas-atrocity/

Read the xitter post in the digby blog for the link. I hate posting direct xitter links.

A Texas woman was locked in jail 5 months—for having a miscarriage. A judge then gave custody of fetus to an anti-abortion group—who named it “Mary” and gave it a public funeral—all without the mother’s permission.

With bond set at $100K—so she was stuck in jail 5 months—including her 34th birthday. Mallori Patrice Strait was originally arrested for “abuse of a corpse” on December 19, 2024.

She was only released after medical examiner finally released its report that determined she had indeed miscarried—and that her fetus died in utero. The DA’s office also said there was “no direct evidence” that she tried to flush anything.

In 2024, too many people cared more about the price of eggs than this and they either stayed home or voted for Trump.

The Supreme Court that made it possible is supposed to save us now?
