I’ve got 2 children and almost had another but he/she died before it was born. Took me a long while to get over that. No way can I imagine doing what these women do to their very own children.
In these cases, both of the children were dying, and the doctors didn’t treat them despite the rather obvious allowances in the law. It appears that was because of a lack of case law clearly defining how the state was going to approach miscarriages (and appallingly in the second, the paperwork requirements for a miscarriage).
