Purvi Patel
Purvi Patel (born c. 1982) is an Indian American sentenced to 20 years in prison in Indiana for feticide and child neglect after her pregnancy ended and the baby/fetus was found in a dumpster. Her case has caused international controversy about the prosecution of pregnant women accused of intentionally or recklessly causing miscarriages or stillbirth. She is the first woman in the United States to be charged, convicted, and sentenced on a feticide charge. Jessica Valenti, writing for The Guardian, has described this case as persecution by "draconian laws and arrest policies that target pregnant women".〔 This has also been compared to the prosecution of Bei Bei Shuai under similar circumstances.〔

In 2013, Patel underwent hospital treatment after claiming to have had a miscarriage.〔 She had become pregnant after an affair with a co-worker, and she feared revealing her pre-marital pregnancy to her conservative Hindu family. Patel claimed that after the miscarriage she placed the stillborn fetus into the garbage and checked herself into a hospital in South Bend, Indiana seeking medical attention for heavy bleeding.〔 Dr. Kelly McGuire said he rushed to meet the police at the dumpsters near the Target in Mishawaka, the place where he said Purvi Patel had told doctors she left the infant. The doctor believed there was a chance the baby was alive. He testified the umbilical cord protruding from the mother looked healthy. The doctor testified on Tuesday about the night he examined the body of the infant in the Target parking lot after police found the infant in a plastic bag in a dumpster behind Moe's Southwest Grill, which her family owned, and where Patel worked.
