Issue a full and immediate pardon for Indiana resident Purvi Patel.
The Issue
This petition is to pardon Indiana resident Purvi Patel on the charges of feticide and neglect of a dependent related to a miscarriage that occurred shortly after her 20th week of pregnancy. Her trial included such unscientific "evidence" as a lung-float test and her affect while hospitalized, as well as a focus on her ambivalence toward her pregnancy and her alleged purchase of medication to end her pregnancy, even though a blood test showed an absence of such medication. A conviction due to a miscarriage sets a very serious and dangerous precedent. (As stated in https://petitions.whitehouse.gov). This is a world wide women's rights issue. And it is outrageous!
