A woman, all women, absolutely ought to have the right to choose when and if they become pregnant. Even women who are charged with crimes.

But if you’re her child 12 or so years from now, what is it going to look like that you were conceived under such circumstances?

Millions of children have worse realities, but without the money or connections or whatever Holmes might still have.

We don’t like hearing about the children whose parents probably loved them but loved heroin more.

The existence of parents addicted to heroin doesn’t make having another kid to get a lighter sentence any less fucked up, rich or poor
What's the context here that I'm missing?
She got pregnant as she was awaiting trial.
well, shit happens, at least mommy's rich
The same way it does now: as a pathetic ploy to secure a lighter sentence.
An alternative explanation that's just as plausible: Faced with an 11 year federal prison sentence at age 38, she saw this as her last chance to have biological children.
Selfish till the end
The children have a father who is a luxury hotel mogul. They will be just fine.
If the children/descendants of other sociopaths like Alexander Dugan, Mussolini, and Jordan Peterson are any clue, they will think it is clever and be grifters just like their ancestors.
The third person that came to your mind alongside Alexander Dugin and Mussolini was a Canadian professor and his fad diet promoting daughter?
