The mother was in shock that day in May 2018 as several law enforcement officers, some in tactical gear, stood outside the rural Winnemucca home to serve a search warrant.
“I had a miscarriage, OK? A miscarriage. Why are you guys here over a f**king miscarriage?” Rousseau responded to the deputy.
The single mother, who was already struggling to afford care for her two young boys, was dealing with complicated feelings of ambivalence and guilt about her unplanned pregnancy and stillbirth, her attorney said. Rousseau told the deputies she had been taking large quantities of cinnamon and lifting heavy things while pregnant “to have a miscarriage.”
Deputies walked to a cross that was painted red with Abel’s name written in black on a green plot behind the house, according to the police body camera footage and a police report. They dug up the remains and carried them to a law enforcement vehicle, the report said.
Two days later, Rousseau was arrested and charged with felony manslaughter before she was convicted in Nevada, where abortion is legal, under what legal experts say is a vague and broadly written statute that makes it a crime for any woman to take drugs with the intent to terminate a pregnancy. She was also charged with concealing birth, a misdemeanor, but was not convicted on that charge.
Nothing. I’ll push your mom down the basement steps for free. Like, over and over again until I cum. I don’t get how everything is “conservatives bad”. It’s not political
Abortion access is political.
Conservatives are the party that enact legislation criminalizing women’s healthcare.
Why are you defending them?
I’m not defending anything. I’m not on either side. It’s you that’s wrecking everything.
I’ve been an abortion activist ever since the third time I pressured someone into it. Thank goodness there were Dems in office then! Whew! All it cost me was an Arby’s value meal! And I got laid in the parking lot for free!
You just had to double down on being a disgusting asshole, didn’t you.
Abortion should be de facto legal until Congress is at least 51% women.
A bunch of old men have no business voting on what goes on between a woman and her doctor. That shit is archaic.
It should be legal regardless of what women in power believe as well.
It’s not an issue for politicians at all.
I don’t disagree. But as long as there’s no equal representation, this isnt politics, it’s patriarchy. And I say this as a cis white man.
That’s a given though thank you for the clarification. Yes I agree women should be in charge of making these types of decisions. Abortion should be legal regardless.
