Now her statement to a nurse about the hospital wanting to cut her all the way up the middle makes me think she just didn't 'get' what a c-section is, or she may not be playing with a full deck - probably a bit of both.

She doesn't deserve jail, she deserves a lot of therapy.
I heard on the news that she had had two C-sections done already, so if in the event this is true, then she should have known what the procedure would have entailed. (I could be wrong in what I heard, so if someone has news to the contrary, please post..TIA).

Major therapy is in high order here.
