Pregnant #Occupy Seattle Activist Loses Baby After Joining Violent Protests – Blames Cops (Video)

A pregnant 20 year-old woman decided to join violent protests last week and was pepper sprayed by police. Now the woman is blaming the police for her miscarriage.
(UPDATE) Here’s video of the Jennifer Fox after she scuffled with police and was pepper sprayed.


A woman who gave her name as Jennifer and said she was two months pregnant is rushed to an ambulance after being hit with pepper spray at an Occupy Seattle protest on Tuesday, November 15, 2011 at Westlake Park. Protesters gathered in the intersection of 5th Avenue and Pine Street after marching from their camp at Seattle Central Community College in support of Occupy Wall Street. Many refused to move from the intersection after being ordered by police. Police then began spraying into the gathered crowd hitting dozens of people. An 84 year-old activist was also hit with spray.

Jennifer Fox believes the cops made her miscarriage.
The Stranger reported:

Jennifer Fox, 19, spoke to The Stranger at the Occupy Seattle encampment at Seattle Central Community College. Fox claimed that she was three months pregnant last Tuesday evening when she joined an Occupy Seattle march that stopped at the intersection of 5th Avenue and Pine Street.

“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.

Fox asked for medical attention—the now-famous photo by Josh Trujillo of her being carried to the ambulance is here (click to the second photo)—and was rushed to Harborview Medical Center, she says, where doctors performed an ultrasound and said that they “didn’t see anything wrong with the baby at the time.” Fox says she had also seen a physician at Harborview for prenatal care about five week before.

“Everything was going okay until yesterday, when I started getting sick, cramps started, and I felt like I was going to pass out,” Fox says.

Hmm. Granted, Jennifer is a leftist so she has no personal responsibility… But, maybe, just maybe, if she cared about her baby she wouldn’t have charged the police or joined in the violent protests to begin with.

But it really doesn’t matter. The liberal media will make her a national “victim-hero” by tomorrow morning regardless.
