Taking into account the point you made about a person choosing another "method of abortion". I would say that if a woman told me (as a prosecutor) that she used crack to abort her baby because she could not afford to have it performed legally, I'd probably drop my case against her (provided I could actually believe it). Of course, I'd have to charge her with performing an illegal abortion, though.
That said, thanks for posting your view on this one.

No problem, and thank you! I guess that's part of the problem I have w/ the law (in spite of the fact that I start law school this fall, Hallelujah!
)
Does anyone know what that white girl and her boyfriend who killed their baby at the prom were sentenced too? It was a few years ago that it happened, but if I recall (correct me if I'm wrong) their sentences were fairly light. If that's true, then I'm even more concerned about the sentence for Regina.
