Then this woman should be charged with man slaughter on top of the drug charges.
She put her unborn child at risk with her behavior.
Yeah Yeah...the jailers were incompetent and should be punished as well, but ultimately the mother is at fault, she put herself and the unborn child at risk due to her behavior.

I don't give a flying mass of fecal matter if this woman was a serial killer in solitary -- you don't punish the child for the wrongs of the parent, and you don't ignore someone in the process of birthing because while yes us women have been doing it for eons, things can and do go wrong. In this instance, she was ignored, and a baby died because of it. That's wanton negligence in an environment where medical care is expected to be given regardless of charges, and anyone with half a brain knows it.
Go ahead, try to excuse it. We treat war prisoners better than this, and that should say something.

That sounds like allot of bull#e rhetoric to me.
So the mother is now free of guilt because she is pregnant?
My way of thinking places her in a higher level of guilt because of that. Any mother that intentional places her child (unborn or not) in a position of danger (in this case death) should be accused of man slaughter.
The mother knew that dealing/doing drugs was against the law, and yet chose to do so anyways, which in turn placed her unborn child at risk.
In my opinion she was not fit to be a mother anyways.
The unborn child is unfortunately a causality of of her stupidity.

350.000 births a day in the world... 120,000,000 a year
a baby is born every 3 seconds...
tell me again why should I care about a careless criminal mother in jail...
Wait - I'll answer that - I dont. Pregnant, non-pregnant, in-labor, virgins... they should all get the same treatment as........... we, Men. Equality, you know... burning the bras, universal suffrage, yadda yadda, all that crap - I'm all for equality. I'm a fighter for equal rights... to the core!

The child is dead....
The responsibility should lay on the mothers shoulders (or what ever cliche you choose). The mother chose her path and inevitability chose the future for the child.

here is the moral to my story: "don't get get pregnant and sell drugs, it may get your child killed"

So what you say is... a woman should be entitled to different conditions when shes pregnant no matter what the crime she may have done... just because shes pregnant?
