Cindi Cook had it all planned out.
Her teenage son would graduate from his Hall County high school, go to college, then settle down and start a family.
Then came the pregnancy.
It was spring 2007 and, according to court testimony, Cook had no interest in her 16-year-old son's girlfriend, also 16, having their baby.
Cook "began to pressure until the young lady relented and agreed to have an abortion," DeKalb County solicitor general Robert James said Wednesday.
Displeased that the baby would ruin her son's chances of going to college, Cook "searched for a clinic that did not require a parent to be present, forged the letter of parental acknowledgement and paid for the abortion" on May 12, 2007, James said.
Last week, a judge sentenced Cook, now 44, to a year in jail - the maximum for a misdemeanor - for interfering with custody and violating a parental notification law.

OK I read them, now what.............???
I think you may have missed my point.
Yes abortion is legal, but it is still Murder.
I believe in my heart its murder..
Her son could not keep it in his pants, so mommy had HIS baby, HER GRANDCHILD murdered.
Great f-ing mommy.
A mother who would kill for her son.
Good, I hope they sue them for every cent they’ve got.
In addition to everything else that’s horrendous about Ms. Cook’s actions, I guess it did not occur to her that her son had some responsibility in this matter?
Man, you are a piece of work.
This is a good sign, although a small step in the right direction we can now see a move thru the laws of local communities to assist the pro life majority.
You are a sick indiviual...
perhaps you need a vaction in Guyana
I hold them responsible. Obviously you do not. Big deal.
Why not try getting a grip with reality? This woman knew she could get pregnant, the man knew he could get her pregnant, and they did. They could have decided to keep the child, and no one could have forced them to kill the baby.
I do not consider 16 year olds babies themselves. They are old enough to get married.
If I'm sick for holding the actual participants responsible, I think you are beyond insults, you are just pathetic offering excuses for their murder.
