That is one way to frame it, the other is that if she suspected that she was going to be going to prison for 10+ years she would be 48 on release and unlikely to be able to start a family. Dispite being a criminal, she is a human with human instincts and may have just wanted to actually have children?
That's not to say that having children just before going to prison for 10 years isn't cruel to those babies.
People are complex and often very flawed.
Edit:
To add, I have no sympathy for her, but the thought of being disconnected from my children for 10 years fills me with such fear that I imagine she has made her sentence even more torturous than it would have been.

- Volundr 4y agoBy that rationale people should have as many children as physically possible because surely those children would prefer that to not existing?
