Which she apparently obtained by fraud. That's the actual prosecution, not that she took meds while pregnant.
Since Blalock is being charged with a felony for not disclosing her pregnancy, does that mean that pregnant people in Alabama have an obligation to share such sensitive information – even when they haven’t been asked? Since prosecutors claim that it was illegal for Blalock to take her meds while pregnant, but was not illegal for her to take them when she wasn’t pregnant, does that suggest that pregnancy negates a patient’s right to medical treatment? Are some conditions worth treating in patients who aren’t pregnant, but somehow not worth treating in patients who are?
And what about the mandatory reporting elements that are included in so many of these statutes – how will this hollowing-out of doctor-patient confidentiality impact health outcomes? It’s hard not to dwell on the realization that if Blalock hadn’t been frank with her doctor, she would have been spared this entire ordeal.

The secret is to keep it moving. A figure-eight is good pattern.
A former British bobby taught me that.
It is purely an attack weapon. There is no deflecting or parrying although you can wrap the chain around another weapon and yank it away. But as I said with this you need to go on the offensive. Basically, act like a Viking berserker. Scream bloody murder and come in swinging. Hopefully you'll terrorize your foe causing them to freeze or even flee.
And wear thick gloves along with something like bracers or leather wrappings around your wrists & lower arms. Those spikes like to take little nicks out of your hand and arm when it rebounds off a struck target. The wooden handle of mine has it's share of nicks and divots from that as well

She was required to reveal her pregnancy so that she would not be prescribed medication that is contraindicated for women who are pregnant.
She knew that the medicine was not suitable for pregnant women.
All of which is stated in the article you posted, despite its own heading.
Stupid, dangerous, and unjust enforcement of laws regarding dispensing and consumption of prescribed medication does happen from time to time. This doesn't seem to be one of those times.1Cor 15:34 Come to your senses as you ought and stop sinning; for I say to your shame, there are some who know not God.
