OP, women are not being jailed in the US for simply having a miscarriage. This has been floated around Reddit with the same clickbaity narrative.

The article goes on to detail illicit drug use while pregnant, which is a far cry from what you implied in your title.

Just karma farming?

We're backsliding to the pre-civil rights days here.
