Yes, and to take if further, she won't be doing any "retroactive abortions" from prison. That is a straw man raised to ensure the death penalty here.

I have no probs. with a death penalty for people who were clearly sane, and clearly a future threat. This woman is neither, especially if they lock up 'ol Russ too.

Great point. That raises another interesting issue though - can the jury, at the time they decide on 'future threat' take into account that the alternative to death is life in prison and therefore, she's unlikely to kill anyone else.
