The Jan. 6 article about a pregnant woman in Spokane County who was denied a divorce was certainly more detailed than what we got on the TV news. The way TV portrayed it I thought this poor woman was being unjustly treated by an old-fashioned, anti-feminist judge enforcing some archaic law against divorce for a pregnant woman.
However, since this article disclosed many other facts, I no longer feel that way. The only question I have in my mind now is how – literally and emotionally, could this woman get pregnant by a man who pleaded guilty to a gang-related, drive-by shooting in 1998 when, as the article stated, he was currently incarcerated for this crime and soon to be released from jail. All I can say is something is wrong with our legal system if this man was out of prison/jail so as to create this new life in the first place. And there is something wrong with this woman’s decision making when it comes to intimate relationships. I really hope she gets some emotional help for herself for the sake of this baby and her other two children.
