Georgia Woman Arrested After Dumping Miscarried Fetus

Selena Maria Chandler-Scott, a 24-year-old woman from Georgia, was arrested after placing the remains of her miscarried fetus in a dumpster. First responders found her unconscious and bleeding, later confirming she suffered a miscarriage at approximately 19 weeks. She faces charges for concealing the death of another person and for abandoning a dead body, both felonies under Georgia law. While some media have linked her arrest to the state's pro-life laws, officials clarified that the legal actions stem from the circumstances of the case rather than the law itself. The autopsy revealed the fetus had no signs of injury or trauma and had not taken a breath. Chandler-Scott is currently held in the Tift County Jail as the investigation continues.
