In Texas (why is it AWAYS<\/b> Texas), a personal tragedy for a scared young girl is made a full metal jacket exercise of police and Christofascist excess<\/a>:<\/p>\n

Parents in Texas are upset after police reportedly \u201cswarmed\u201d a Texas high school because a girl may have had a miscarriage in one of the bathrooms.<\/span>

<\/span>KDFW reported that a school custodian notified the principal at Woodrow Wilson High School after finding a \u201cpossible fetus\u201d in one of the bathroom stalls on Friday.<\/span>

<\/span>The principal contacted police, who \u201cswarmed\u201d the school, according to KTVT.<\/span>

<\/span>\u201cI seen a helicopter and I was really worried,\u201d one student recalled.<\/span>

<\/span>Parent Christine Kerry was outraged that she had not been notified as to why so many police had been deployed to the school.<\/span>

<\/span>\u201cI got out of my car and specifically asked, \u2018What\u2019s going on, and is it safe for these kids to be out here?\u2019\u201d she said. \u201cAnd I was told to go away.\u201d<\/span>

<\/span>\u2026\u2026\u2026<\/span>

<\/span>Dallas Police Department\u2019s Child Abuse Unit detectives were investigating to find out who may have abandoned the fetus. The person involved was being considered a \u201csuspect.\u201d<\/span>

<\/span>\u201cWe\u2019re reviewing video, talking to the teachers, trying to determine if anybody has any knowledge of any student that may have had something going on in their life, and pray,\u201d Dallas Police Major John Lawton said.<\/span>

<\/span>Alan Elliott of Baby Moses Dallas explained to KDFW that the mother could have avoided any criminal charges if she had taken advantage of Baby Moses laws by carrying the child to term, and then dropping it off at a safe baby site like a fire station.<\/span>

<\/span>\u201cAnd that\u2019s a happy ending when that happens, because the baby is safe, the mother is protected from any sort of prosecution, so it\u2019s a win-win for both of them,\u201d Elliot noted.<\/span>

<\/span>However, it was not immediately clear how far along the pregnancy was, and the cause of the possible miscarriage was not known. <\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

And the cops are already treating it as a crime scene, because maybe a poor, scared girl, might have taken RU-486 or some similar drug to terminate a pregnancy.<\/p>\n

This is all about punishing some poor, scared, teen because she tried to assert autonomy over her body.<\/p>\n

These people just hate fear women, and their sexual power.<\/p>\n

Please, can we give Texas back to Mexico?<\/p>\n
