Editorial - Handcuffed While Pregnant

A new bill would clarify and strengthen the 2009 law by banning shackling throughout pregnancy and for eight weeks after giving birth. An exception would allow for handcuffing women who are a danger to themselves or others.

Don't really unterstand this bill. Why else would you shackle someone? You could make an argument against shackling in general, but after decades of being told pregnant women can work, exercise, fuck, etc. all of a sudden the fetus can't withstand a bus ride with shackles?

A police person will be trained to do a physical examination of the female to determine if she's pregnant or allow for an onsite pregnancy test to be conducted.

A police person must then read the minds of a pregnant woman to determine her current state of mind and her future intentions.

Why do we put police between a rock and a hard place and expect them not to fail?

What does this have to do with men's rights?

I'm against this shackling stuff, because I am against the pointless humiliation of prisoners generally.
