Mom refuses to get a C-section to save her unborn twins because she doesn't want a scar.

I'm really fucking torn on this - the fact that anyone would put an aesthetic like that over two children in their final couple of weeks is just sickening to me.

But I'd have a problem with a forced C-section.

But she's sputum.

But, but, but, but, but...







OTOH, I think the one thing I can definitely agree with wholeheartedly is the fact that a C-scar was NOT going to make this woman look any worse:




Oh yeah, and the surviving baby was born with alcohol and cocaine in its system.

As I understand it, she's been charged with murder, because the stillborn child WAS ALIVE when she was originally told to have the C-section, and was dead several days after she refused.

But I too, have a problem with a forced C-section.
But, but, but.
Gnar.

Fsck it, Thog's right.
AXE!

What's worse?

she'd already HAD two Caesarians.

I think the charge of murder is crap, myself. Criminal negligence, yes, that's a definite possibility. But murder? Come ON.

But, in general, I have no sympathies for her whatsoever, given Fact #1 at the top, there.
