A woman has been found guilty of cutting a foetus from a stranger's womb after luring her to her home with an online advert for free maternity clothes. Mum-to-be: Michelle Wilkins proudly shows off her baby bump before the horrific attack
Dynel Catrece Lane stabbed expectant mum Michelle Wilkins with a kitchen knife and ripped out her unborn baby in the gruesome attack in March last year. Wilkins, who was seven months pregnant , survived the stabbing at Lane's home in Longmont, Colorado, but her baby daughter died.
Lane, 35, was convicted of attempted murder, assault and unlawfully terminating a pregnancy following a trial in Boulder. The case renewed discussion of whether termination of a pregnancy can ever be considered murder.
Prosecutors filed a charge of unlawful termination of a
pregnancy, and not murder, against Lane after the Boulder County Coroner
ruled the unborn child was a foetus rather than a baby because it had
not taken a breath outside the womb.

The singer stated that she is not ashamed of being a woman and also mesntruating. Her statement read in part; "Regardless of my costume being transparent, my only option was to put on a sanitary pad and still go ahead to perform. I am a woman and I’m not ashamed of menstruating.

"Menstruation is not a shame and I urge all young women take a cue from my actions and not to let it stop them from doing anything they want to do."
