More martyrs for the cause

So this link has been came up on my Facebook feed. Seems that the Occupy are willing to martyr anybody if it will bring publicity to the Occupy Movement. The newest one involves a nineteen year oldprotester that lost her baby during a protest.

“I was standing in the middle of the crowd when the police started moving in,” she says. “I was screaming, ‘I am pregnant, I am pregnant. Let me through. I am trying to get out.’” At that point, Fox continues, a Seattle police officer lifted his foot and it hit her in the stomach, and another officer pushed his bicycle into the crowd, again hitting Fox in the stomach. “Right before I turned, both cops lifted their pepper spray and sprayed me. My eyes puffed up and my eyes swelled shut,” she says.

Oh sounds very odd to begin with but continuing into her statements.

When she arrived at Harborview at 11:00 a.m., she says, a doctor told her that “there was no heartbeat” from the baby. “They diagnosed that I was having a miscarriage. They said the damage was from the kick and that the pepper spray got to it [the fetus], too.”

Now it is getting weird. I get that a kick to the abdomen can terminate a pregnancy. But the Pepper Spray having that much of a effect in a pregnancy? Something seems off. I am not the only one to thing so.

Fox has declined to provide medical records supporting her claim that she had a miscarriage five days after being hit, and her family has cast doubt on the claim.

But Seattle police have launched an internal investigation because of the “seriousness of her allegations,” spokesman Mark Jamieson said.

“Their goal is to find any — any — info that supports her claims,” he said. “You have to take her word.”

In an interview Tuesday at the Occupy Seattle encampment on Capitol Hill, Fox said she had three ultrasound pictures of her fetus in her tent, but declined to show them to reporters.

She also said she did not plan to pick up medical records at Harborview Medical Center that could document the miscarriage until after a planned memorial service Saturday, and she declined to sign a waiver allowing reporters to obtain the documents independently. She said the baby was a girl, to be named Miracle.

Also I this little quote caught my attention.

Fox has conducted several interviews with local and national media, and said she plans to consult an attorney.

She said she learned the sex of her fetus about 10 weeks into her pregnancy via an ultrasound test, although gender typically is not detected via ultrasound until the 16th week of pregnancy, according to a medical journal. Fox said the baby’s father is in jail.

Kinda puts more questions into this. Also there are claims that she is the same person that we talked about here. Stay tuned, this one is just getting started.

UPDATE: Here is a police report that was made in September that shows that she was three months along at the time.
