I don't think any of you would have condoned someone with mental health issues raising a child, either. Sure, it's a tragic story, but at least when she's incarcerated, she'll receive the therapy she needs to start her long road of recovery.
I don't imagine she would have had the funds to receive a legal abortion in the first place...and as far as we know, the gunshot wound probably caused her to lose her uterus, as well, which means she won't be able to do this ever again.

Sim said:Posting bond means you only have to come up with a certain amount of cash up front and a bail bonds company bails you out. Usually on that amount, you'd only need $100-$150 to get out, and her father is probably the one who posted the initial amount to get her out.

If this lady could have gotten an abortion easily, she may well have taken that option but the reality is that with a lot of poorer people, in most countries, there are no funds for these types of procedures. Some of these people can't afford to raise children & yet are forced to bring them into the world or find other ways to abort.
There were times not that long ago when abortions were done with wire coathangers in peoples kitchens because that was all they could afford. Many people developed severe infections & died.
I'm not saying that an abortion is the only answer but sometimes it is better than the alternatives.
Can I just add that I find it a little worrying that no one feels any sympathy for this woman - we don't really know her circumstances & yet everyone is quick to judge her as a crazy bitch who shot herself in the stomah without a second thought. Man, that is harsh.
