I don’t think we will ever know. 

According to this article, daughter suffers from mental health issues & at the time they couldn’t have afforded a burial. She was pregnant due to an abusive relationship. 

I’ve missed something, though. At the time the case was brought the law only prohibited abortions after 20 weeks. That’s why she was charged.

Personally, unless a doctor says, yes abortion is necessary, I don’t have a problem with a 20 week cut off.
