http://www.solidarity-us.org/site/node/4416Date Written: 2015-05-01 Publisher: Against the Current Year Published: 2015 Resource Type: Article Cx Number: CX20949 Purvi Patel is accused of "feticide and neglect of a dependent" after suffering a miscarrage in Mishawaka, Indiana. Abstract: - Excerpt: "What this conviction means is that anti-abortion laws will be used to punish pregnant woman," stated Lynn Paltrow, Executive Director for National Advocates for Pregnant Women. According to Deepa Iyer, Activist-in-Residence at the University of Maryland’s Asian American Studies Program and former director of South Asian Americans Leading Together, "Purvi Patel’s conviction amounts to punishment for having a miscarriage and then seeking medical care, something that no woman should worry would lead to jail time." |
