Teen mother charged with newborn’s murder. What a difference a few days can make. If the baby had died 26 days before birth (heck, even 26 minutes before), there would be no charges. 26 days after birth, it’s a murder charge. Either way it’s a tragedy.

This always drives me crazy. I don’t know about other women, but my womb is NOT magical. It doesn’t determine what’s alive and what isn’t. Should I see a doctor about this?
Infanticide is the killing of a newborn baby, and in Canada, is available only to the mother and carries a maximum sentence of a few years. A bit of legal savvy might have let her claim, “Sudden Infant Death Syndrome”, and gotten away with it.
Decades of left-wing politics have massaged the entire legal framework to favour of the wife and mother, in the short term. However, short term advantages frequently, in the long term, become serious disadvantages. Bonnie and Clyde and Al Capone found out that soon enough.
Women gain long term advantages from having and raising children. Love, affection, understanding and a guiding hand in her golden years being a few.
