“An Alabama jail incarcerated a pregnant woman for months after she said she smoked pot, refusing to release her unless she entered drug rehab.
The woman incarcerated in Alabama, 23-year-old Ashley Banks, said she was incarcerated at around six weeks into her pregnancy, according to a Wednesday report by AL.com. After six weeks of being jailed, she started to bleed and continued to do so for another five weeks, AL.com reported. She was forced to sleep on the floor due to overcrowding, she said, even after being diagnosed with a condition that heightened her risk of miscarriage.
Specialists repeatedly ruled that Banks didn’t qualify for free addiction services, leaving her unable to go to rehab.
“I have reckless murder cases where defendants have been released on bond,” said Banks’ attorney Morgan Cunningham, AL.com reported. “Requiring her to go to rehab is not Constitutional.”
Which fertilized eggs will become healthy human fetuses? Researchers predict with 93% accuracy
Because the parameters measured by the researchers in this study occur before any embryonic genes are expressed, the results indicate that embryos are likely predestined for survival or death before even the first cell division.
.. Despite their best efforts, though, they have only about a 35 percent success rate. As a result, most women elect to transfer two or more embryos to increase the chance of a live birth.
.. the embryos at first express only genes from the maternally derived egg. By roughly the third day (the eight-cell stage) they begin to express genes specific to embryonic development
.. The researchers found embryos in which some cells were dividing on schedule while others were seemingly stuck, or paused.
.. embryos in which individual cells varied significantly in their cell-division schedules or gene-expression profiles were less likely to become successful blastocysts.
.. Cells that fail to execute some part of this delicate process get out of sync with their neighbors and jeopardize the life of the embryo.
.. “In mice, about 80 to 90 percent of embryos develop to the blastocyst stage. In humans, it’s about 30 percent,” said Reijo Pera.
.. “In addition, about one in 100 mouse embryos are chromosomally abnormal, versus about seven out of 10 human embryos.
What Pregnant Athletes Can Achieve
She told me recently that she ran a ten-miler the day before her daughter was born. “There were definitely people who gave me second glances at the gym,” Brown said. “They said, ‘Are you sure you should do that?’ ” She continued, “I was amazed how during my pregnancy my body knew what to do. I kept thinking how women are strong, how we’re built to be able to have kids, but also be built to do so much more. It’s not that long ago that people thought a woman’s uterus would fall out if she ran too far.”
.. he’s heard stories of athletes in former Soviet countries who, during the Cold War heyday of sports, would intentionally get pregnant, hoping to capitalize on an increased count of red blood cells, and then abort the pregnancies after competing. “It was almost like a natural blood doping,”
What Donald Trump Is Right About
In Trump’s 2005 tape, he referred in vulgar ways to a married woman, Nancy O’Dell, he had unsuccessfully pursued, but what’s less known is that in 2007 he reportedly tried to have her fired from hosting the Miss USA Pageant. Why? Because she was pregnant.
.. both he and his campaign C.E.O., Steve Bannon, have been accused of domestic violence themselves.
