The shooting happened December 6th, 2018.

Marshae Jones (27) was shot during an argument at a store with another young woman named Ebony Jemison (23). Marshae Jones was unarmed. However, her child did not survive.

Jones was recently arrested, and she's being held on a $50,000 bond in Alabama for starting the argument. Ebony Jemison had the charges of manslaughter dismissed against her since the grand jury failed to indict her. She will not be arrested or charged at all.

Alabama's reasoning is that it was her job to protect her unborn child, and by engaging in the argument at all, she caused herself to get shot. Therefore, it's her fault she lost her child.

As you can probably imagine, most people think that's ridiculous. But it does make people wonder if women stop becoming people and instead just incubators while they are pregnant. For example, if a woman gets in a car accident, but she wasn't wearing a seatbelt and loses the baby, will she go to jail for manslaughter? What if she drinks before knowing she was pregnant, and it causes her to lose her child? What if she doesn't get adequate prenatal care because she didn't have health insurance or she wasn't aware she was pregnant for several months so the baby has defects or is stillborn?
