This U.S student has been given life without parole for giving birth and dumping the baby, who subsequently died.
I feel incredibly sorry for her, and angry that men never have to go through this sort of terrible ordeal. In no way do I condone what she did, but I think the way society is set up makes things like this happen. If things were easier for women undergoing unplanned pregnancy and stigmas were removed, tragic things like this just wouldn't happen. Why should this person have to suffer for the rest of her life, she's literally just a kid herself.

I don't know whether it has been mentioned already but the father (who turned out by DNA afterwards was in fact not biologically the father) demanded to know what she had done to his kid via text after she said she had 'dealt with the baby'. The text exchange is in the Washington Post article.
I hope she rots in prison, callous bitch.
