Woman Jailed for 'Killing Her Foetus' - This is a Sad Day for Us All

feticide, although she claims it was a stillbirth.

Feticide is not a term you hear very often. Even words like regicide or
infanticide sound like relics from a dusty tome on medieval history. But
feticide is alarmingly current - and more so since a US court ruling this
week.
.
Purvi Patel is the first woman to be imprisoned in America for the crime
of killing her own foetus. She's been sentenced to 20 years in jail, to
the outrage of women's groups across the world.

What is clear to pro-choice campaigners, though, is that state laws which
were supposedly intended to target illegal abortion providers and crimes
against pregnant women, are now being used to prosecute women themselves,
whether they've tried to terminate their own pregnancies or suffered a
stillbirth or miscarriage.
.
It's tempting to think this kind of legal onslaught against women's
reproductive rights would never happen in Britain. But perhaps we
shouldn't be so sure.
.
Clare Murphy, director of external affairs at the British Pregnancy
Advisory Service, tells me: "We are shocked by this latest US case, but it
bears remembering something not dissimilar could happen here, if the
political climate towards women changed."
.
Commenting on the case of Ms Patel, Gloria de Piero, shadow womens
minister says: Women's right to choose is something we have fought hard to
establish and to protect, but we can never l be complacent. Those who
disagree with abortion under any circumstances will continue to challenge
the laws in place."
.
And Stella Creasy, Labour MP and womens rights campaigner, adds: "This is
part of the slow drum march beat of trying to erode women's reproductive
rights that's happening around the world. We need to be vigilant and speak
out about it."
.
Under current UK legislation, a woman who ends her pregnancy without
getting two doctors' signatures could be prosecuted. And a woman who
bought abortion drugs online could be sent to prison.
