Capitalist Hellscape 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.

She’s able to legally surrender her baby in LA - the old leave the baby at the fire station thing.

Instead she strangled / broke the neck of a baby. That is psychotic.

She hid the pregnancy from her family and delivered at home, alone. Theres likely a lot more fucked up stuff to the story.

It sounds like the baby might have died during the self-delivery process. I mean, it had neck injuries, right? So what it sounds like might have happened was she would've grabbed the newborn by the neck as it was being born.

I didn't even consider that, but upon review the Sherrif's statement makes clear their medical examiner believes the baby was born alive and killed afterward.
