It’s a miscarriage of justice.

Sorry, but while manslaughter is basically accidental, this is purely accidental. If this is the standard then lots of people should be charged including for hurting or killing themselves and others.

This is not an abortion issue.

How is ingesting a bunch of drugs while you're pregnant "accidental"? She directly caused the death of her child, although that was likely not her intent. Therefore manslaughter charges instead of murder. I don't think anyone made this particular case an abortion issue, aside from a comment that abortions should be getting the same charges instead of getting paid for by the gov.
