'Pregnant prisoners shouldn’t be babied'

Article here. Excerpt:

'Ms. Nelson has filed a lawsuit against McPherson prison in Newport, Arkansas, complaining generally that her pre-natal care was below acceptable medical standards, but specifically that her legs were shackled right up to the moment of delivery.

Also, she whined that she had been given only Tylenol for her pain.

I would imagine that Tylenol would be a somewhat mild pain killer to people accustomed to intra-venous heroin.

Dee Ann Newell, whose day job is senior justice fellow at the Soros Foundation, also teaches pre-natal care in Arkansas, weighed in with her opinion of shackling pregnant criminals with this pathetic wheedle.'

“If you have ever seen a woman have a baby, you would know we squirm.” Ms. Newell, in her fevered efforts to condemn everyone but the criminal, fails to understand the widely accepted rules of shackling dangerous prisoners; namely, every state with the exception of California and Illinois, allow shackling of pregnant females.
Could it be that pregnant convicts can be dangerous?

Their crimes range from murder to mayhem, armed robbery to writing bad checks. I mean, look, you got a gal here who is pregnant, in pain, in jail, with no baby’s daddy in sight and looking for someone to blame for her predicament. Is that the ingredients for violence, or what?'
