The thing is, if both babies had lived there would be no fuss. I don't think there should be a law created to make having the surgery mandatory in future cases..... but I think that if (for want of a better term) some stupid twat wants to risk her baby's life over her own selfish reasons you bet she should suffer criminal charges.... if not murder then something along the lines of criminal negligence or manslaughter.
What I'm saying is, for future cases they should say "Hey, if you want to be a selfish bitch and risk your child's life that is your choice.... but if your child dies as a result of that selfish choice you WILL be held accountable."
