The “lung float” test claims to help determine if a baby was born alive or dead, but many medical examiners say it’s too unreliable. Yet the test is still being used to bring murder charges — and get convictions.

We as citizens need to push for any judge who allows this to be disbarred. This is insanity.
In the US. Let’s please clarify these things in the title
Fair enough, I copied the title from the article without really thinking about it but that’s a perfectly reasonable request
How horrifying to have your wanted, stillborn child cut open like a high school science experiment. And what about infants who were able to take a breath before dying shortly after birth?
I think it’s good practice to carry out an autopsy. But boiling it down to a single piece of evidence which doesn’t proof neither if the baby was or wasn’t stillborn is insane. On top of that even if it proofed that the child was stillborn or not, it still doesn’t proof that the child was subject to murder.
Either the article is leaving out specific details relevant for the case to enrage the reader or the justice system is reeeally shit.
Spoilers: It’s both.
Bruv, women are like 50% of the population. It’s a pretty shit strategy to oppress them. WTF?
That has been the strategy for thousands of years
Unfortunately, a large group on the right thinks that only men should be in charge. Not just any men, of course. Only straight, white Christian men. They think the rest of us should be subjugated to their whims and should thank them for any scrap of kindness they decide to show us.
“Thank you, sir, for only stomping on my face three times instead of the customary seven. You’re so kind!”
You forgot rich as well. Only straight white rich Christian men. Can’t have the poors getting any ideas after all.
You’re right. I knew I left something out.
In fact, a lot of racism is encouraged by the wealthy because the wealthy would rather the poor white guys blame their poverty on those poor brown guys than have both groups team up against the wealthy.

Absolutely disgusting. And, sadly, not surprising.
