Yeah, I get that a lot myself.

But seriously, you've made a lot of excellent points... Your views on this matter are alarmingly similar to my own
. You've just managed to express yours more eloquently.
Whether the knife is a switchblade or a scalpel, a mother is never
legally required to put herself in front of one to save her child, unborn or otherwise. Sure, it's morally reprehensible to put a child in grave danger for one's own piddly concerns, but individuals can make decisions about, and pay the consequences for, what happens to one's own person.
In this instance, I think a charge ending with "endangerment" or "neglect" would be good, if for no other purpose than to remove her children from their self-serving mother, and to prevent her from having even more kids.
