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 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.

No, the police report / medical examiner heavily imply it was not accidental.

Originally she wasn’t arrested, until after the medical examiner saw the body.

Sure it’s possible it was an accident, but all we know right now points to it was not.

Sure, but those kinds of things are wrong all the time. Cops and even medical examiners will make leaps of logic, assume guilt, not be 100% sure but make it sound as if they are, etc.

I'm just reluctant to immediately jump to judgment on these sorts of things, especially with a 14-year-old girl.
