I posted about this fiasco this morning.
Unbelievably stupid situation, maybe they want to charge her for stealing the bullet too?

So they do have brains, after all!!

I read the original story. I'm glad it was dropped but since the law is still there I can see something similar happening again. Our country is on a rather bizarre path with the insanity of Christian Conservatism. I keep waiting for a breath of fresh air.

Common sense and common decency has prevailed after all.

Actually the grand jury in that state which is comprised of regular citizens is who voted to indict her after voting not to indict the shooter. The prosecutor who would not file the charges against her will possibly face a lot of negative backlash from the conservative Christians when he runs for reelection.

Yeah but only under pressure

Most of the deep South is so unbelievably ignorant, it is hard to imagine. If they had actually left the United States after the civil war, they would have become a third world country.

Thank common sense that she has been released. This was a travesty of justice. Damn, I am staying far from Alabama forever.

As he should of. People never cease to amaze me with their ignorance

The person who shot her is an animal but it is beyond me why a pregnant woman would not take care of herself and be in a bar.

I'm glad the prosecutor dropped the charges. Probably due to national pressure.

The person who made money selling the gun and the manufacturers should be the ones being prosecuted.

Where do you find these insane stories??

Charged in the first instance? How absurd.

If every Tom, Dick and Harriet would not be able to get a gun, then this would not have happened.

What were their reasons for alleging she intentionally caused the death of the fetus?

Has anybody heard any rational reason for not charging the shooter? I know this is Alabama, a state not known for anything rational but this makes them look even worse than before.

It seems we have truly reached the point of national implosion. How can some states be so insane with these laws while others go in the opposite direction. Yes, poverty is a prime cause but attitudes such as these only drive people and business away compounding the problems.

The insane AL GRAND JURY blamed the gunshot victim for provoking the shooter implying pregnant women are not allowed to argue with violent gun toting perpetrators.
..Alabama law itself is insane placing undue burdens of pregnancy elevation of an embryo or zygote over real personhood

The District Attorney in this case is a Black woman. Lynneice Washington. From al.com:

Speaking publicly for the first time at a weekend event, Washington delivered passionate remarks before a predominantly black audience saying “I am a black woman in black skin. So, don’t tell me how I don’t appreciate the sensitivity of a woman and the rights of women.”

She has other interesting remarks about the grand jury decision also.
