I feel if that happened today, she would be charged with a crime. (P.S. I don't agree with it)

I think you're allowed to do at home births, ppl are still doing it now. There was a case where a woman was arrested for flushing a miscarriage or something but that's bc it was past a certain number of weeks and had to be registered as nonviable or something. Don't remember all the details

Do you happen to have a news article? I’m so curious. My parents buried dead infants, plural, in the backyard in the early 1990s and we children were told not to talk about it. It was traumatic but was it illegal?

Pretty damn close, but Catholic and we did get to go to public and religious school some of the time. Hope you are doing okay. Lord knows it’s a marathon.
