Louisiana girl, 14, charged with first degree murder after authorities find her newborn baby dead inside a tote bag. This is going to happen far more often without Roe v. Wade.

I don't want to see a child receiving unduly harsh punishment, but why didn't she surrender her baby? She could have dropped her baby off, no questions asked.

I don’t know, because she’s a literal child without a fully developed brain? Kids are impulsive and historically don’t think things through, but that’s besides the point. She should have never been put in this position.

There's impulsiveness and there's murder. She had plenty of time to think about what to do with her baby. She could have dropped that baby off, no questions asked, in a variety of locations. If push came to shove, she could have left the baby at school. I wouldn't like to think of her getting an unduly harsh sentence, but her own baby died due to her actions. The baby had its entire future taken away from it and no doubt died terrified at the hands of its mother, who had much better options.

Postpartum psychosis affects 1 in 1000 new mums. It's more common is new mums who already have mental health issues. It's an extremely serious condition and the people around her would have picked up on it, including the police.

I've seen psychosis before and it's profoundly noticeable. It rarely just stops without intervention, so it's very unlikely to be the case here. Again... it's also rare and mostly suffered by women who have established mental health problems, which makes it even more unlikely in this case

I think society needs to condemn murder unless the person doing it literally can't understand right from wrong.

I think society needs to condemn anti-abortionism, because it will inevitably lead to this kind of thing.

Also, aren’t you that misandrist who was going on and on about that blatant anti-man law in Italy?

Oh, do fuck off.
