South Carolina Still Prosecuting Consenting Adults

Jane covered this news but I had to examine it here, too.

From greenvilleonline.com comes this coverage of this terrible story...




The Sheriff's press release is here. You can leave a comment on it. I sure did.

People of South Carolina and Laurens County in particular: Stop putting people in jail for sharing love and sex. There is no good reason to continue to persecute consenting adults for loving each other as they mutually agree.

To the persecuted defendants: So sorry what has been done to you, especially after losing a child. If you can, move someone better as soon as you can. There are countries that don't treat adult lovers are criminals, and you will also not be criminalized in New Jersey or Rhode Island.

  1. As usual you say what needs to be said and say it well Keith. Thank you!

    I thought this might be relevant. On a radio program yesterday about premature babies it was mentioned that 50% of such babies die, and 70% have developmental problems later. (But it all depends on how premature the baby is. They later they are born, usually the healthier they are.


    But if about 10% of US and UK babies are premature, that is an awful lot which potentially have all of life-affecting development problems. (i.e. much higher than around 2-3% with birth defects in first world countries.)
    As with birth defects the same culprits arise to cause premature births
    about 60% spontaneous with no known cause;
    there are known risk factors of premature delivery, including:
    smoking; infections in the mother;
    Having a previous premature birth.
    Pregnancy with twins, triplets or other multiples.
    An interval of less than six months between pregnancies.
    Conceiving through in vitro fertilization.
    Problems with the uterus, cervix or placenta.

    (Another list I saw mentioned genetics, but as you see from the list above, there are many other causes of premature birth.

    Risk profile for very premature babies changes over time

    A British NHS website on this subject said that parents of children who are born prematurely have to be prepared to actively seek help for their baby because (under-funded) hospitals may lack the specialised staff who know how to care for all the types of problems premature babies may have. "Babies born this early need special care in a hospital with specialist facilities for premature babies. This is called a neonatal unit. They may have health and development problems because they haven't fully developed in the womb." https://www.nhs.uk/conditions/pregnancy-and-baby/premature-early-labour/?tabname=your-newborn

    I wonder why this South Carolina hospital called the cops on the girl, whose baby they failed to keep alive.
