Homeless mother who sent six-year-old son to better school in the wrong town jailed for five years

A mother who pleaded guilty to fraudulently enrolling her six-year-old son in the wrong school district has been sentenced to five years in prison.

Tonya McDowell sent her son to an elementary school in Norwalk, Connecticut, instead of her home city of Bridgeport.

The 34-year-old, who was homeless when she was charged with felony larceny last year, said she wanted the best education possible for the boy.

are you fucking kidding me

Thats the most disgraceful thing I’ve read so far this year. Jailed for five years for trying to give her child a better start in life? She should be given a medal, not jail time.

……..WHAT?

He is aware he just confirmed that he believes in forcing women to bear children against their will, right?

Correct. They’re not even bothering to hide behind the fetal rights agenda anymore.

Had to confirm that this one was actually true, because, well, jeeze.  Yep.  Totally true.

I’m just kind of surprised that the politicians in Mississippi would take such a controversial move at this time.  Surely this will anger a lot of their voters.

To my followers from Mississippi, you have my deepest sympathies.  :-\

Mississippi goddamn.

New Study Shows Anti-Choice Policies Leading to Widespread Arrests of and Forced Interventions on Pregnant People

On Tuesday, January 15th, the Journal of Health Politics, Policy and Law will publish our study, “Arrests of and Forced Interventions on Pregnant Women* in the United States, 1973-2005: Implications for Women’s* Legal Status and Public Health.” This study makes clear that post-Roe anti-choice and “pro-life” measures are being used to do more than limit access to abortion; they are providing the basis for arresting people, locking them up, and forcing them to submit to medical interventions, including surgery. The cases documented in our study through 2005, as well as more recent cases, make clear that 40 years after Roe v. Wade was decided, far more is at stake than abortion or  reproductive rights. Pregnant people face attacks on virtually every right associated with constitutional personhood, including the very basic right to physical liberty.  

Our study identified 413 criminal and civil cases involving the arrests, detentions, and equivalent deprivations of pregnant people’s physical liberty that occurred between 1973 (when Roe v. Wade was decided) and 2005. Because many cases are not reported publicly, we know that this is a substantial under count. Furthermore, new data collection indicates that at least 250 such interventions have taken place since 2005.

Court: 'Irresistible' Workers Can Be Fired

This is rape culture in action. He was afraid he’d try to have an affair with her so he fired her instead of getting his shit together. And the court (all male) cosigned him blaming her for being in her body & not taking any responsibility for his actions. His wife & his pastor were on board with this shit too. Amazing.

Apparently being ‘Too hot’ can now get you fired
