An Uptown woman dropped her newborn girl from an eighth-floor window late Wednesday, killing the baby, because she feared discovery by her family, prosecutors said Saturday.

Mubashra Uddin, 19, was ordered held without bail on a first-degree murder charge Saturday after a hearing in Cook County Bond Court. The newborn, being called Baby Jane Uddin in police reports, was found in the grass outside a high-rise in the 800 block of West Eastwood Avenue about 11:45 p.m. Wednesday, according to authorities.

Uddin did not appear in court Saturday because she is hospitalized.

So sharia law does empower women, they're allowed to perform their own post partem abortions. Planned parenthood would be proud.

Religion of Pieces.

What a slippery slope we’ve been sliding down since 1972, when women were told they were now free to kill their offspring.

Get a rope.

Uddin did not appear in court Saturday because she is hospitalized.

Was she afraid she would explode?

The 8th floor fling. It’s a cultural thing. Hey, maybe there’s a Paki rapper who could incorporate that into a new hip hop song.

She discovered the baby was gay, so gave it the traditional IS treatment for gayness. Flying lessons.

If she’s a muslim then jail is safer than living with family who could perform an honor killing on her.

Planned Parenthood was notably dismayed.

A drop from an 8 story building effects the resale value of the body parts.

Then that would be one honor killing I’d be in favor of.

[The Ghost of FReepers Past]

Liberals are just mad that she deprived them of a big baby parts sale. Just a short time earlier and killing that baby would have been deemed a constitutional right.

Mubashra?................

She had a tough choice. Die by the hands of her family in an honor killing or spend the rest of her life in jail.

[americas.best.days...]

Baby Jane....nice touch.

[SgtHooper]

Only a tough choice for a subhuman who does not value life, other than her own.

[Blood of Tyrants]

They would no doubt have murdered the baby, too.

I take it that baby-daddy wasn’t a Muslim.
