The Hanford Police Department said in a news release that Chelsea Cheyenne Becker delivered a stillborn child September 10 that medical professionals believed may have been exposed to drugs while she was pregnant. The death was ruled a homicide after an autopsy by the Kings County Coroner's Office found methamphetamine in the baby's system, police said.

1st degree murder for taking drugs while pregnant? Nope. ACLU will eat that prosecutor’s lunch.

Died before birth? Just a clump of cells right?

well

Well everything happens for reason guess. Probably better than be born method baby.... mabey think about doing drugs while pregnant?!

But if the child never drew breath how can it be murder?

She sounds like she was undergoing severe mental health issues - aren't these the exact reasons why some states allow termination up until the day of delivery? Please explain the difference to me.

She needs help to get over it.
