Utah Woman Charged With Murdering Fetus

Just a thought...

If she were a Christian Scientist, and refused medical attention on religious grounds (obviously she's not, since she went to the doctor in the first place, but let's just SAY for the sake of argument since arguing is what we do best) this would not be an issue.

I say if one woman is legally allowed to refuse a C-section because of religious beliefs, then another should be allowed to refuse it because of cosmetic beliefs. Whether they BOTH should be allowed is another issue, but consistency is the key.
