Jeanne D'Arc of Body and Soul expresses perfectly why we all should be outraged at charging Melissa Rowland with murder for refusing a c-section and delivering a stillborn twin:

Look at the picture of Melissa Rowland in the BBC's coverage of the story and tell me that the prosecutors' narrative about a woman obsessed with her physical appearance makes sense. The BBC also adds a rather significant detail the AP left out: Rowland -- by her own testimony, at least -- had two previous C-sections. Another detail that might have been worth mentioning appears in the Salt Lake Tribune: Melissa Rowland has a long history of mental illness. She was first committed to a mental hospital when she was twelve years old.

Suddenly the narrative shifts a bit. A frightened, mentally ill, pregnant woman, living on Social Security disability benefits, facing eviction, the father of her children gone, went from hospital to hospital looking for help, and no one knew what to do for her or how to reach her. And because of that, she has been in jail for nearly two months and faces murder charges.

Our original post on the case is here.
