Well said Kay.For a mother however young to take this course of action must be looked into and the problems addressed. The phrase "Justice tempered with mercy" is apt in these cases.
"Simple is good" & I strongly dislike politics. You cannot defend the indefensible.
Post natal depression usually starts about 3 weeks after the baby is born.
Bev. nothing is wrong in having a disagreement. However your three week assertion on PND is currently under questioning by the experts in that field. A school of thought have suggested that women who have little support(emotional and financial)in the prenatal period are more likely/inclined to commit this atrocity, and that the trigger most times is the act of childbirth itself.
In relating to the rest of your argument.... i agree. Santafara: i hope my response to Bev also answer your question.
