Thanks for posting this, I signed.

But this is really an awful situation, anyway you look at it. Ms. Patel was treated terribly.

(41,202 posts)3. Done - probably the first time I've sent a message to Indiana politicians, but this horrified me!
Please take action to stop the persecution of pregnant women in Indiana. Repeal Indiana's feticide law and correct the child neglect statute to prevent the kind of injustice that Purvi Patel faces. This is truly horrific. It should be noted that at least 20% of clinically recognized pregnancies end in miscarriage; and that there is almost never anything that the mother could have done to prevent it.
This is like something out of the Dark Ages.
As a British woman with many American connections, I will not be visiting Indiana, or knowingly purchasing any products made by Indiana companies, until this vicious, discriminatory law is repealed.
Yours sincerely
