That recent picture of her looks like she is pregnant. Is that the case? What a way to start an 11 year sentence.
- ProAm 4y agotbf I think after 11 years she would be outside of the safe age range to have a baby in America, so now or never type of scenario.
- nemo44x 4y agoNot entirely true. She’s young enough where she can harvest a good deal of eggs reliably. They can be frozen until she’s out of prison. The uterus age isn’t as big a deal as the age of eggs when harvested.
- metadat 4y agoThis is a common misconception which is very much false. Frozen eggs don't last indefinitely and the viability degrades over time. After 5 or 6 years they become increasingly unlikely to be viable (it's not impossible, but statistically unlikely to be fruitful).
- shawabawa3 4y agoA friend of my mum had a baby at age ~55 using eggs frozen ~30 years earlier. Not sure if that was a crazy fluke or if some methods of freezing eggs are more reliable?
- metadat 4y agoThat's a crazy fluke, the max I've seen claimed to be done at all is 10-14 years. When I re-entered the dating scene a couple years ago I learned much more than I ever wanted to know about egg freezing. It's big business here in the Bay Area where there are a lot of ambitious career women.
- tick_tock_tick 4y agoI really think in another decade or two there is going to be a lot of lawsuits regarding egg freezing being pushed on women by tech companies to stay on the career fasttrack when they can't get a viable pregnancy. Most of the women I know that have gotten it done also seems to have almost a willful ignorance about the failure rate; especially later in life.
- 300bps 4y agoShe’s about 6 months pregnant now and the sentence won’t begin until April 27, 2023.
- tanseydavid 4y agoYou are correct.
- inerte 4y agoI heard on NPR that yes, she is.
- ceejayoz 4y agoShe had a child while the case was pending, and is pregnant again. Hell of a thing to do to a kid.
- LarsDu88 4y agoI'd have some compassion for her here. This is her last chance to have children, even if those kids might have a messed up life.

- alvarezbjm-hn 4y agoThere are some of us who don't consider children a thing anybody has a "right" to have.

- iisan7 4y agoUN Declaration of Human Rights: Article 16 1. Men and women of full age, without any limitation due to race, nationality or religion, have the right to marry and to found a family. [...]
- notch656a 4y agoDo natural rights fully apply to those convicted of serious felonies between day found guilty and the end of serving their sentence? I'm not saying they don't, but in the US one of the natural rights is explicitly the right to bear arms.
- alvarezbjm-hn 4y agoNot all families have children. Some children are adopted. I am grateful for the love and care my parents gave me, but I don't consider myself something that belongs to them as birth right. It is my opinion people must be responsible of the children they breed.
- Arcuru 4y agoI know you're getting downvoted, but I must admit that I hadn't even considered that. She knew she'd likely go to jail for a pretty long time so if she wanted kids it _would_ actually be best if she had them beforehand. I mean, it definitely also garners sympathy with the judge, but it'd be totally reasonable for her to do it just because she wanted kids. Thanks for bringing up that perspective.
