Two years ago, Liz Smith, director of nursing at Franciscan Children’s hospital in Brighton, Mass., was headed toward the elevator at work when she saw her: a tiny girl with bright blue eyes and a single soft brown curl swept across her forehead. “Who’s this beautiful angel?” Smith asked the nurse who was wheeling the infant down the hall. “Her name is Gisele,” the nurse told her. The infant, a ward of the state, had been at the hospital for five months, but Smith had never seen her before. Smith learned that Gisele, then 8 months old, had been born premature at another hospital in July 2016, weighing just under 2 pounds. She had neonatal abstinence syndrome — a result of her birth mother using heroin, cocaine and methadone during pregnancy. Social service workers were trying to place her in foster care. "Gisele,” Smith told herself all the way home that evening. “Gisele.” It was at that moment, said Smith, that she knew: “I'm going to foster this baby. I'm going to be her mother.” The state of Massachusetts took custody of Gisele when she was 3 months old and transferred her to Franciscan Children’s because her lungs needed specialized care, and she had a feeding tube. The baby did not have a single visitor in her five months at the hospital. https://www.washingtonpost.com/life...ted-her/?noredirect=on&utm_term=.c4721274dcc4
Tragic and unfortunately all too common.....people suck. I suppose you have some point beyond pointing this out?
Of coursed not....why would you make such a rude assumption? Is it because I support a womans right to her choose?
It is also not "entirely" YOUR body to do with as you please....now is it? She does however have the same rights you do...a fetus does not.
You are very good at non-answers. You brought up a hypothetical and expect others to answer your questions.

I have to point out that you did not. So....what is it, should she be charged and prosecuted? And what should she be charged WITH?
