    If it’s America, I get it. $20,000 for a hospital birth. And, if you don’t pay, they take your house.

      A 34-year-old Oklahoma mother will spend the rest of her life behind bars for allowing her husband to impregnate her 11-year-old daughter, then forcing the child to give birth at home without any medical care.

      I did not read the whole article, but I suspect the lack of medical care had less to do with saving money than with hiding her involvement in the rape of her own daughter.
