Jesus, that's a bad headline. She wasn't sentenced for the home birth; she was sentenced for her part and cover-up of her husband raping and impregnating their daughter. The lack of proper medical care is just part of the cover-up.

every conservative is like this. this is the world they want. this is their utopia.
This is why they want homeschooling, much easier to abuse children away from prying eyes
This is sad, but true.
At my first teaching job, a first-grader told her teachers and the principal that the bruises on her legs were from her mom hitting her with a belt. We reported it to Child Protective Services, and when they followed up, the mom pulled her out of school to "homeschool" her instead.
Covering up physical abuse is one of many reasons why homeschooling needs more oversight.
Isn't CPS supposed to be a sharp sword of the state?
Supposed to be, but (like everything else) it's incredibly underfunded.

What's even weirder is that they gave the mother 7 consecutive life sentences, but the father who actually impregnated the child only got 1 life sentence + 42 years.
1 life sentence + 42 years.
ok but that is enough. the mom just got Overkill+
They do it that way so even with good behavior or some appeals for a commuted sentence, still ends up being more years than they'll live by a mile.

There’s no hate like Christian love.
Agreed but how is that relevant here? I see no indication of it in the story
Things I wish I could unread.
I hear people say Oklahoma is the most free state in the union, and yet they won't let you rape your own child and force her to give birth? That's not the America my ancestors had nothing to do with building.
A 34-year-old Oklahoma mother will spend the rest of her life behind bars for allowing her husband to impregnate her 11-year-old daughter, then forcing the child to give birth at home without any medical care.
i thought the post title was bad enough.. but daaaaaaamn. they sure do go the extra mile.
That's not even the worst thing said in that article:
"This child is traumatized. She's been through a horrific ordeal," [Assistant District Attorney Janet] Hutson previously said in an interview with Tulsa CBS affiliate KOTV. "Not only has somebody gotten her pregnant, but she gave birth at home without medical assistance, and this will be her life for the rest of her life."
"This will be her life for the rest of her life"??? I know it's the job of the prosecutor to frame things in the worst way, but fuck everything about that. Whoever is left of her family needs to do everything they can to try to help her get past this trauma. And that baby is not her responsibility, either, and never will be.
This is Oklahoma, she’s gonna have to raise it.
If you're going to say things like that, then I'd expect you to say something like, "This is Oklahoma. A child of child rape is just raised as their mother's sister. It's so common that they put that rule in the state constitution."

"Brotherson" is a word I had never expected to learn, and in retrospect one I had hoped to never know.
Edit: The article is vague, so I suppose "sisterdaughter" is another word I can add to the list of words I don't want to think about.

Yep, the news from the Oklahoma Oblast no longer surprises me. Certainly the Orange Pedo Shitstain will pardon the sick bastards because that is why he is mentioned over 38,000 times in a certain set of files.
Certainly the Orange Pedo Shitstain will pardon the sick bastards
He doesn't have pardon power over state charges. But, it is Oklahoma. So, Republican governor Kevin Stitt will still probably give it. After all, the Republican position seems to be that abusing children is a good thing.

The headline: oh that sounds horrible.
The description on this post: even worse than I thought it would be.
The article: not a single picture of the husband, who is also serving a life sentence. I wanna see what that mistake of a person looks like.
There wasn't a picture because he was already sentenced months ago. The woman's article even links to that article.
This entire article and some clarifications in the comments make me feel sick. This entire story is fucked up and i wish I hadn’t read it. Poor child is traumatised for life
Sadder still, society will expect her get over it and carry on. Society doesn’t understand that there’s no “normal” for her any more.

Thank you for this warning.
Someone once wrote a comment on the internet which i read, which said something like, " when you have a choice to look at something traumatic or not, you don't have to look. "
Such a difference between this and Epstein, while the subject of sexual abuse of minors is roughly the same. I guess the lesson is, if you're gonna rape and pillage, first be filthy rich.
Always has been.
Oh gosh oh gee, I wonder who they voted for?
Really? Come on. That's quite a stretch you're making here - really grasping at straws to assume they might have voted for anyone other than Trump. The nerve.
Had me in the first half...

Sweet home Oklahoma
Jesus Christ Oklahoma
That's a dad who spent way too much time "thinking about the children"
So this child rapist gets life in prison, but the one doing it at scale gets… the Presidency.

So the husband gets one life sentence for doing it, and the wife gets seven life sentences for allowing it?
They both deserve life in prison, but why did the actual perpetrator get a lesser sentence?
