Not for you to judge. Even women who have planned pregnancies sometimes wish it wasn't happening. And a woman (for instance) with 6 children and no income and no place to live may very well wish another life didn't happen...she is certainly not insane to wish such a thing.halplm wrote:simply that this woman didn't want those lives to happen, which I think is insane.
Unless you have been pregnant and experienced the incredible flood of conflicting emotions that comes with it, you cannot simply state that it is "insane" to not want the baby.
And there have been other instances of mothers (and fathers) killing their children not because they are insane, but to spare the children. I am thinking of the Brazilian tribe in the movie "The Mission" who would kill a third child at birth if the first two were below a certain age...because each parent could only carry one child when running for their lives from the white slavers.
And there is the chilling (and I think, true) story of a slave mother who bashed her infant daughter's brains out on the auction block as she was being sold, saying "Nobody going to do to her what was done to me."
Desperate, maybe. Insane, no.
Which still doesn't explain this woman in France.
