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.

    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.
