His wife Catherine Herring, who has filed for divorce, told the court the jail sentence was not long enough. She said their 1-year-old daughter, their third child, was born about 10 weeks premature, has developmental delays and attends therapy eight times a week.
“I do not believe that 180 days is justice for attempting to kill your child seven separate times,” Catherine Herring said.
How did she have 3 kids with him without leaving… Oh it’s america.

Have you ever been there?
ha, cuz women have soooo much agency elsewhere.
I mean they do though… Even in Latin America you have access to free healthcare and reproductive care (often including abortion).
Are you implying the US is one of the best countries for women’s rights?
It could be that women are oppressed globally.
You’re right, better to give the benefit of the doubt
Absolutely. Most people outside US fail to realize that a bunch of states are bigger than most countries on this planet and Texas does not define America.
naw, my point is they generally have it pretty shitty everywhere. i used the term agency for reason.
sure here or there will have a specific better feature, like healthcare, but then thats offset by the incredible violence domestic or otherwise in that same region
I’m confused why this is an unpopular sentiment. Surely we agree patriarchy is an unjust and almost universal force in our world? Some places are better and worse for womens rights… But doesnt every major religion basically dictate that women are not and cannot be equal?
yeah i dont get it either.
whole countries convince women that they are supposed to be second class citizens. rape is their fault. education is haphazard at best. killed at birth for being female.
the world over, women generally have it worse off than males. this is not a controversy, but a statement of fact.
Yet this looks like the path a large portion of the states are heading towards. There are tons of cases of rape and victim blaming, and that’s only the ones that get news articles or documentaries judging by the huge rape kit backlog that nobody with any power or authority cares about
Because “it’s worse elsewhere” is an empty statement that stops any discussion on any problem. Why not look at where things are better instead?
Classic Ameribrain, having literally no understanding of the world outside its borders.
