    Considering the article states that she didn’t have enough money to have a funeral for the fetus, I don’t think she had the means to raise a child. It’s impossible to “get around to” doing something that isn’t offered easily and affordably. I don’t think giving her child abortion pills when she was over 20 weeks pregnant was her first choice, I think it was a move of desperation.

      People can’t afford to care for newborns either, doesn’t give you the right to kill them.

      It shouldn’t have come to that, of course, but the court heard her defense and rejected it.
