## Alabama woman sues alleging she gave birth on prison floor as guards watched

Authored by theguardian.com

Tiffany McElroy, now 28, was booked into an Alabama jail in May 2024.

Three days after arriving, she said she felt her water break weeks before she was expected to give birth.

According to the lawsuit, she informed a guard that her water had broken and believed she would be taken to a hospital for treatment.

Instead, the complaint states that another guard who checked on her later that morning accused her of wetting herself and instructed her to return to her cell.

According to the complaint, another inmate eventually assisted McElroy in delivering a baby girl who was not breathing when she was born on the prison floor, as prison guards watched.

Another Alabama woman who claimed she was forced to give birth without any medical help in a jail shower settled a federal civil rights lawsuit against the county last year.

Pregnancy Justice previously found that Alabama has led other states in prosecuting pregnant women for drug-related charges since the US supreme court overturned Roe v Wade in 2022. »

### Russian parliament passes bill allowing Putin to invade foreign countries

"This decision can be described in two words: aggressive lawlessness," Ukrainian Foreign Ministry spokesperson Heorhii Tykhyi told POLITICO.

"By granting himself the unlimited right to use Russian occupation forces outside the country under the pretext of supposedly protecting Russian citizens, Putin is effectively admitting that aggression has become the norm of Russian state policy.".

Last month Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy warned that the Baltic countries might become Moscow's next target if Ukraine doesn't get enough support. »
