Alabama v. Jones

Alabama v. Jones was a U.S. legal case that took place in the state of Alabama. The case is notable as the first attempt, at least in the state, to charge a pregnant woman for suffering a miscarriage.[1][2][3][4] The case was of special interest to feminist groups and reproductive rights groups.[5][6][7][8][9][10] A grand jury charged her with manslaughter but the prosecutors ultimately dismissed the case.[11]
