"At a relatively well-attended hearing Friday during which some members of the gallery were visibly distraught, a Prince Frederick woman accepted a plea in a case related to the deaths of her two infant sons.

Melissa Schrae Bowen, 34, of Prince Frederick accepted an offer from the state as part of an Alford plea, according to which the prosecution will seek 20 years imprisonment at the Division of Corrections for the involuntary manslaughter of “Baby Boy A” and “Baby Boy B."

KEYWORDS: abortion; murder; prolife
"Subsequent conversations with investigators revealed that Bowen did not know who the father of “Baby Boy B” was, that she has continued to drink alcohol and snort cocaine and Percocet for the duration of that pregnancy and that she had known she was pregnant for months prior to delivery but had been unable to afford an abortion."

But she could afford booze and drugs.

Being permitted to serve two ten year terms simultaneously. How just. What EVER happened to adoption?

She was on drugs. The baby would have been “born hooked” and she’d been charged with that. Is why a lot of drug addicts abort. In this case she says she could not afford an abortion.

She can afford drugs.

She can afford to give the baby to a fire station or other places, can’t she? That’s free.

She could but I don’t know how the laws work if a child is “born hooked” even if they are dropped off at a safe haven.

They do say “no questions asked” but I can see some women would still be afraid.
