The fetus was taken into account. She was convicted of unlawful termination of pregnancy. She will spend the rest of her life in jail as a resulting this crime. Seems like all the laws brought against her worked just fine to reflect the horror of her crime without needing to make up a new one.

Does that mean if I dress like a general I can start giving everyone orders and they have to salute me? I like this idea.

From the description of your outfit I would’ve guessed they would force you to play Nirvana covers for them. What a wild twist that it has more to do with your gender than clothes!

I think he was happy to take this bullet, knew there would be repercussions, but wanted the thing on the record at the state’s expense.
