    She tried to cremate the stillborn fetus, and when she realized it’s not easy to do cremations at home, she buried it. What’s the problem, other than she should have considered flushing it to reduce the risk of evidence? And yeah, she should have also done the abortion much earlier, as well as under the guidance of a doctor, but obviously that’s difficult in many states.
