> Had she gotten an abortion, she wouldn't have charges.
That, to me, is kind of the whole point.
If you decide your dog is old and sick and you take it to the vet to be put down, you've done the right thing.
If you decide your dog is old sick, so you starve him to death, you deserve to go to jail for animal abuse.
(At least for now) we have a way of dealing with unwanted pregnancy. Abusing / neglecting your fetus because you don't want it, but not getting an abortion, is clearly immoral IMO.
Whether drug use constitutes abuse, and whether she deserve jail time for it, are more complicated and nuanced questions.
