Charge her.

If a pregnant woman smokes, charge her.
If a pregnant woman drinks alcohol, charge her.
If a pregnant woman rides in a car without a seatbelt, charge her.

That'll teach 'em a lesson for choosing to disobey the authorities.

There's a child who would not be dead, except for this woman's (obviously misplaced) vanity. She has earned the consequences.

C section is an elective surgery. You have to sign off on it. Although 99% of women would sign for the surgery and anesthesia some may not. Have you ever read one of the papers for surgery and what can happen? It is scarey to consider all that could go wrong. This woman may have been petrified over the surgery itself........what do you do in a case like that? Knock her out and operate against her will? How can you justify abortion while prosecuting for this? This is a strange case for sure. I read my surgical permission slips when I required surgery last month. It was
not something I took lightly and I did read the entire thing.
