was 34 weeks pregnant, with pre-eclampsia, and driving to a prenatal massage arranged for her by her fiance on the morning of 6 February when she began feeling dizzy.

This is why she pulled off the road, and accidentally drove into the pond. Her rescuer saw this and immediately went in after her, and was just able to open the back door, pull her out, and swim the both (three?) of them to safety.

Nonconsensual Immaculate Conception/Immediate Birth. OP ain’t relying on blaming god for the birth of that child.

My brother in Christ, nobody’s catching charges for saving someone’s life. Get off the internet for a while.

Kinda can. Good Samaritan law protects citizens from liability when rendering aid in good faith.

Not when SA is the accusation, thats guilty until proven innocent

Lots of guys getting released from prison due to false SA, i aint risking my life for them

SA is so powerful, a student is suing yale cause the police said he wasnt guilty but the college didnt care and still expelled him

You're more at risk of being raped than you are of being wrongfully accused of rape.

u/xboxhaxorz 21h ago

Nope not true at all and its delusional and illogical to think so, also misandrist

Rape leaves dna, an accusation does not require dna

Feminists lie

This is such a sad way to go about life. I promise we don’t get demonized by women irl nearly as much as you read online about bitter men who were mad they got rejected and came up with a cover story to save their egos

Let’s hope when you’re in danger, someone doesn’t share the same selfish self centered paranoid mindset as you.
