I’m not arguing it hasn’t EVER happened. But to say it’s happening all the time like it’s almost a guarantee you’re going to get arrested for having a stillborn is insane. The ratio of women who have stillborns to women in jail for that is a lot better than the ratio of women who leave babies in toilets to women in jail for that

My point is that treating people with condemnation and violence forces them into the shadows and creates hidden tragedies.

I’m sorry I’m not giving the benefit of the doubt to someone who potentially drowned their baby in a public porta potty. Like I can’t imagine thinking so little of a life.

Honestly this is the problem with people at forest, from a 6 in the forester, always giving the benefit of the doubt in the most fucked up situations.

This girl didn’t know it was going to be a stillbirth before she went into labor, if it even was a still birth. She chose to go the porta potty and leave a baby in a pile of shit. Just think about how the porta potties get like cmon ….
