Tasing Pregnant Women

What if the fetus is female?

Or black?

Or black?

If it's turned black you used too many volts. Simple science here Pk.

Electromagnetic fields? Seriously? That's about as legit as "vaccines cause autism" crap.

Electrical shocks that are big enough to cause burns or stop a woman's heart (i.e. cause that severe of trauma) will obviously also hurt a fetus but the biggest danger of minor shocks is after-trauma caused because the person isn't properly relaxed or braced when the shocks cause loss of motor skills and so on and they fall or jerk about and really hurt themself.

Google ECT and pregnant women and from there you should be able to find a plethora of science studies that show that low level electrical shocks to an expectant mother are not harmful to the fetus.

I don't in any way condone them tasing her in the first place, but the whole 'omg electrical shock could kill babby!!' thing is overblown unless that same shock could kill the mother.

I'd say the concern over electromagnetic fields to a developing fetus is pretty legit. there is a growing body of literature covering this and magnetic fields with animals. How severe is another question. But a taser and momentary electromagnetic field changes arent likely an issue in the same sense. Long term exposure to environmental changes is considerably different than transient changes.

Don't you mean what if the fetus is a female?

I take offense to how you both use female. Please refer to the fetus as a woman.

I take offense to how you are all assigning a gender before the baby is born and allowed to decide for itself.

Let us not confuse sex with gender identity, PK. Please retract this statement.

Clearly letting the fetus become a baby and decide for itself is like owning a slave and letting it choose to read. Retardo ed rectum absolut (vodka).

The fetus can decide for itself only if it admits that it loves Jesus. This is not the same as letting a slave learn to read. But the fetus must be reminded that, invoking the powers and privledges of pro-choice, the mother can abort the fetus after birth if she does not agree with the life choices it's making. She can only take advantage of this legal right after clearly establishing this as a right with the fetus, otherwise the fetus can not be held pro-choiced with its choices.
