Rock Hill S.C. woman in court for attempted murder of her baby that was born in a toilet

The state continues to prosecute our client unlawfully, illegally. And basically, the law states that an abortion cannot be had after the heartbeat. Everybody agrees that between five and eight weeks. Anything after that's unlawful, anything before that is lawful. But in doing so, the state also passed this immunity provision. And therefore, you have this very strong immunity that virtually every politician stated when they were passing this bill, that the mother is not subject to any civil or criminal penalty. There's any risk of flight. This family has peddled us around her to fight these charges. To fight charges that very much, in our view, are a political foothold here in this county. It's very much our belief that the elected prosecutors should not be pursuing this legally. I do believe it's controversial. And speaking of danger to the community real quick, I challenge anybody to articulate what the articulable danger to the community could be. I am prosecuting this defendant who committed a crime against an unborn child. I'm not doing so for any political reason. I'm doing it because if she had shot the child that was in the toilet, immediately after she birthed it, that would have been murder. Just because this child that was 27 weeks old, and I believe we have substantial evidence that was 27 weeks old. If she had shot that child in that toilet, it would have been murder. And just because the child was inside of her at 27 weeks old, she took an abortion pill that she somehow has immunity, is an absolutely absurd result. So I needed to address that. It's irrelevant to this hearing. Mr. Mayor brought it up. I just wanted to make it clear for the court that I am prosecuting it, and that I believe that the defense's position is an absurd result, and we will address that at the appropriate time.
