It turned out that she was put in jail mistakenly for a couple of days — and is getting up to $1M compensation for the judicial mistake. How is that “women get imprisoned for abortion”? Something that looks good in a clickbait title, but actually shows proper functioning of legal system instead.
Because she was literally put in jail after being charged with murder for having an abortion. Full stop.
The fact that the prosecutors got the facts wrong and still threw her in jail is actually evidence that the legal system is not functioning properly. In a properly functioning legal system, she wouldn't have been arrested in the first place, but that's a different conversation.
