Mother accused of fetus murder in Utah case
Melissa Ann Rowland, 28, faces a first degree murder charge over the Jan delivery of twins in Salt Lake City. A doctor urged a C-section to save the twins, but Rowland refused citing fear of scarring. One twin died, the other survived and was adopted. Rowland is jailed on $250,000 bail. Rowland’s attorney cites long mental illness history. The case raises abortion rights questions and potential charges against mothers who do not follow medical advice.
