流產也俗稱「小產」,孩子懷著懷著卻胎死腹中,這結果可能造成媽媽心生內疚,對於未來再生孩子時多少有些疙瘩,但今天內文這個結果,大家怎麼看呢?
根據外媒報導,美國奧克拉荷馬一名21歲女子普爾勞(Brittney Poolaw),兩年前流產時,她向醫護人員透露自己注射、吸食了安非他命和大麻,流產時已懷胎17週,最後屍檢人員將孩子的死因歸咎於普爾勞吸食毒品所致,法院以過失殺人罪判處她4年有期徒刑。
對此,非營利組織全國孕婦倡導者(NAPW))為普爾勞聲援表示:「在奧克拉荷馬州的法律中,謀殺或過失殺人法不適用於流產,這個案子是個悲劇,媽媽除了要忍受流產的創傷外,還在新冠肺炎期間被捕入獄。」
也有婦產科醫生與護士指出,該名孩子有先天性的疾病,沒有直接證據說明毒品是讓孩子致死的原因,對於法院的判斷感到懷疑。
Last week, a 20-year-old Oklahoma woman was convicted of manslaughter for experiencing a miscarriage at 17 weeks and sentenced to 4 years in state prison. (1/2)https://t.co/IlFlP46YEi

雖然聲援組織在網路上宣揚這個論點,不過大部分網友依舊不買單,認為說詞過於荒謬,也認同法院判決結果。
This case is a tragedy. Not only has this woman suffered the trauma of pregnancy loss, she was jailed during COVID & convicted of a crime without basis in law or science. Read our statement about the troubling trend we are documenting in Oklahoma: https://t.co/8h590UCv0S (2/2)
