I'd be concerned that if this person is prosecuted the ruling could be abused. On the other hand a parent has the responsibiltity to make the right decisions for the welfare of a child. This is a tough one...

I think if you're going to charge the mother with murder you charge the doctor with murder too. I understand she was told that the baby may die, but we don't know the reason(s) behind her not wanting to get a c-section. It wasn't even known to her that she could be brought up on murder charges. IMO I don't think she wanted to murder her unborn baby, rather she was just uneducated in the matter.

Yeah. It's the top story on all the news. That and the NCAA tourny.

PArdon my ignorance of the female gender, but what is a Caesarian section again (is it when they cut through your womb?) and why is it bad for "cosmetic reasons" - does the scar last?

But still unless if you're wearing a very low-lying bikini it shouldn't show up I gues.

To answer your questions:
1. Yes
2. Yes

I'm surprised this hasn't gotten more attention on the news.  I still don't think I've seen the story on the news yet.
