While a agree with the legal charges I still feel really bad for these two women. What made them so desperate that they chose these actions? Was this really a case of terrible decision making or even malicious intent? I don't think we'll ever really know and I hate that the pro-birthers use these sorts of cases as ammunition.

I think it's incredibly unlikely that this was done with malicious intent.

In my heart I don't think that was the case either. This whole thing just screams desperation and bad decisions/lack of good options.
