His wife Catherine Herring, who has filed for divorce, told the court the jail sentence was not long enough. She said their 1-year-old daughter, their third child, was born about 10 weeks premature, has developmental delays and attends therapy eight times a week.
“I do not believe that 180 days is justice for attempting to kill your child seven separate times,” Catherine Herring said.
in texas, an abortion with the woman’s consent is punishable by life in prison, but an abortion without the woman’s consent only gets you six months. Once again, I’m forced to conclude that republicans are specifically against a woman’s consent and that anything about “the right to life” is absolute bullshit.
Maybe he would have gotten life in prison if the embryo/fetus he tried to kill actually died. 🤷🏻♀️ The baby survived but with developmental delays.
Do you think that a doctor that attempted an abortion but the fetus survived would be treated any differently than a doctor that completed an abortion? It’s the procedure that’s criminalized, not the result.
There have been plenty of cases of attempted murder in which the criminal gets a lighter sentence because the victim is still alive. Don’t be mad at me. Blame the stupid criminal justice system.
Yea, we already know it’s in Texas.
