PHILADELPHIA (AP) — A northeast Pennsylvania woman will plead and be sentenced Thursday on charges she killed five babies born after hidden pregnancies — and kept their remains in a locked closet.

DNA tests show Michele Kalina, 45, of Reading conceived most, if not all, of the babies through an affair with a co-worker. Neither he nor Kalina's husband knew about the pregnancies.

Court records show Kalina, a home-health aide, is set for a combined plea and sentencing hearing Thursday. She is charged with one count of criminal homicide and multiple counts of abuse of corpse and concealing the death of a child. A gag order prevents lawyers from discussing the plea, or whether Kalina's mental health is at issue.

All she had to do was call them ‘late term abortions’ and start squawking about her “right to choose” and all sorts of folks would have sent her money for her defense. Heck, the U.S. Dept of (in)Justice might even have intervened to prevent her being prosecuted.

How in the world did this woman have five children, and keep the births a secret?

She must be crackers. Wow.

God have mercy on her and those babies.

She didn’t want to be “punished with a baby”.

Unbelievable what people are capable of.

She had borne two children with her husband Jeffrey, in 1987 and 1991. The oldest, Andrew, was severely disabled and died of natural causes in 2000.

Natural causes? I doubt it.

To this day I cannot believe that 0bama’s campaign was not done in by that comment. Sign of the times. 30 years ago he would have become completely irrelevant after that comment.

She could have killed her babies legally by going to the local Planned Parenthood.

She kept them in a closet and her husband didn’t know?
