I fully support gay marriage as a way to provide thousands of homes for those without a steady home setting.
There is also nothing in the article that would show she was mentally ill. She was clearly depressed and upset over the situation but that does not automatically make you mentally ill.
A trial might come to this conclusion with far more evidence than we have been provided and if so, she should be treated as such.
Pro-choice does not mean pro-abortion. It's sad you can't figure that out.
The woman in question was heavily under the influence of hormones. That should be taken into account when discussing her case. But you anti-abortionists are so incapable of admitting that pregnancy is not nine months of rainbows and sunshine that you refuse to admit that. I suppose next you'll argue that post-partum depression is merely a figment of pro-choice imagination?

Not always. Sometimes it is.

One could and have argued that this very same reasoning caused a woman to shoot her husband or kill her kids. In those cases she is charged and allowed to present any evidence to back up her claims. But I've noted this over and over. We are never going to nor should we allow pregnant women do anything and simply use an excuse that their hormone's were over active.
In her dissenting opinion, Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg, called the decision "alarming" and "irrational." She said: "[The ruling] tolerates, indeed applauds, federal intervention to ban nationwide a procedure found necessary and proper in certain cases by the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists." She later continues: "[It] cannot be understood as anything other than an effort to chip away at a right declared again and again by this Court–and with increasing comprehension of its centrality to women’s lives."

Bad news came from Indiana on May 11. The state Supreme Court has refused to review charges of attempted feticide and murder against Bei Bei Shuai. Just before Christmas 2010, Shuai, who was thirty-three weeks pregnant, attempted to kill herself by consuming rat poison after her boyfriend, father of the baby, abruptly announced he was married and abandoned her to return to his family. Rushed to the hospital, she had a Caesarean section, but her newborn daughter died after a few days of life. (Here’s my column on the case.) Despite amicus briefs from eighty respected experts and relevant medical and social organizations—the state of Indiana, for reasons best known to itself, will do its best to send Shuai to prison. Potential sentence: forty-five to sixty-five years. The only good news is that after spending 435 days in jail, Shuai is now out on bail.
What does what this woman did in India have to do with the USA? What am I missing here? are people here saying that what India does the USA mimics and eventally does the same? If we start prosecuting pregnant women who attempt suicide that leads to the death of the unborn fetus which I consider to be a baby at 33 weeks then the Father who threated to abandon her and child should that lead to her unstable thinking and causeing her to attempt suicide should be prosecuted with at least manslaughter. Why does he get off free and clear when he's part of the problem and reason for what happened.
