This story of a protester supposedly being hit in the the stomach and pepper sprayed by police when she told them she was two or three months pregnant (never was a definite answer on which) and ended up miscarrying that got a lot of attention very recently here...

KIRO Radio first obtained the police report from Sept. 22, 2011. Seattle police had responded to a vacant building located in 1250 Denny Way where a security officer reported five squatters. One of those people, according to police sources, was 19-year-old Jennifer Fox.
According to the report, Fox told an officer she was three months pregnant and began crying when arrested.
"(Fox) began holding her stomach and was screaming when she was arrested," read the report. (Fox) was treated at the scene and transported to HMC."
When asked by KIRO FM about the police report, she denied remembering the incident. Then, Fox changed her story and said that the "police report must have been wrong," because she told police she was one month pregnant at the time.

The story goes on to say that her last foster mom said that she's a "compulsive liar" and a "wannabe drama queen."
After all this and the previous police report I really don't think she was a protester at all but a homeless young woman that took advantage of the protesters camping out to gain a place to stay and food to eat (which I think anyone else in her circumstances would have done as well).
It appears that the pregnancy/miscarriage story is what she uses to try to avoid trouble or gain sympathy in a bad situation, and sadly it seems like what she has said about the supposed pregnancy is something that she would like her life to be rather than what it is. Just sad all the way around.
