24 hours earlier the lefties would hav marched with pitchforks to allow an abortion.
Shouting about the far right trying to take away reproductive freedom.
Think about that for a minute.
The Bergen Record commented that the baby was born healthy etc etc. it, however, was found with “no fluid in the lungs”. so how could she have drowned her baby?
The Record is well known for getting the facts wrong.
The baby didnt drown nor was he smothered, she just left him while she cleaned up the mess , in a few more weeks we will be able to find out how he died, when they can release the autopsy info, we never could have seen this coming,, its a horrible and needless tragedy bc there were family members bit more importantly his father was prepared to take him
