Charged with attempted first degree murder. But thanks for the link. And while I accept laws do exist to enforce societal norms, if the effect of those laws is to make matters worse, they're still bad laws. I can't say I have a strong position on infanticide. There are undoubtedly cut and dried cases where an adult deliberately terminates the life of a newborn baby that should be classified as criminal acts. Abandoning your own child probably deserves a separate legal classification.
