SAN ANTONIO -- A woman, desperate to be a mother, sits in jail after being caught in the park with heroin, meth, and the remains of her unborn child in her purse. Now Bernadette Rivera is speaking out from behind bars, saying she isn’t a monster, but simply wanted to give her child a proper burial.
Police arrested Bernadette in Cassiano Park for drug possession shortly before midnight on April 28th. Officers found the remains of an 8-week-old fetus when they searched her purse.
Bernadette says she had a miscarriage outside of the hospital on April 3 and went to two local hospitals afterwards for help. She says both turned her away.

I am not buying her story. Very little of it rings true. She obviously has both mental issues and drug problems, a combination that tends to go hand in hand.
I pray she recovers from addiction and the grief of losing her child, and turns away from crime.
Was the child born at 8 weeks gestation or had a full term baby been born and she was carrying it around for 8 weeks?
Good question. It’s hard to answer because the pro-death camp works so hard to dehumanize the unborn by calling it a ‘fetus’, which means ‘little one’ in latin, but in english has the effect of dehumanizing the baby.
That, and the terrible writing that poses for journalism.
