Amid a constantly changing reproductive landscape, one West Virginia prosecutor is warning people who have miscarriages in his state that they could get in trouble with the law.
Raleigh County Prosecuting Attorney Tom Truman says that although he personally wouldn’t prosecute someone for a miscarriage, he made the suggestion out of an abundance of caution after hearing from other prosecutors.
Truman even suggests people might want to let local law enforcement know if they’ve have a miscarriage. Several reproductive law experts say people around the country have, indeed, faced charges related to miscarriages — but they still wouldn’t recommend reaching out to law enforcement.
My conspiracy theory is that when a species suppresses all apex predators, outmanoeuvres most lethal diseases, and suppresses wars and famine, the species automatically start changing and self-destruction code is triggered.
That code triggers extinction-class events like nuclear war, anti-vaccine movements to bring back disease, and anti-intellectualism that results in rollbacks to climate change suppression and reduces long-term survival. Which leads to mass die-offs, bringing the population back under control.
Honestly, it sounded silly at first, but it seems to be the only thing that makes logical sense when a fucking moron is demanding rollbacks to measles vaccines, HIV prevention, and cuts to the government agencies that control nukes and other exotic weaponry. While other countries start idiotic wars over literally nothing, throwing their economies away.
…Thank fucking God we destroyed our biological weapons program decades ago.
