SAN ANTONIO, Texas (Reuters) - A Texas woman arrested on suspicion of killing her newborn son and dumping him in the trash told detectives she "strangled the baby and watched him die," according to an arrest affidavit released by San Antonio police on Wednesday.

The body of the infant, likely less than a week old, was found stuffed in a duffel bag on the intake conveyor belt of a Waste Management recycling center in San Antonio two days before Christmas.

Nidia Alvarado, 25, was taken into custody on Tuesday night without incident at her home and charged with capital murder, which carries the possibility of the death penalty, police said.

"It's believed that the suspect gave birth to that baby boy, and shortly thereafter murdered him by strangulation," police Sergeant Javier Salazar told reporters.
Bond has been set at $2 million.

Alvarado told detectives that several weeks before the birth she had tried to find somebody who would teach her how to perform a self-induced abortion, the arrest affidavit said.

She also told investigators that after killing the baby, she threw the body into a dumpster at her apartment building.

So the state arrests her for doing on her own what they would have done for her, six months prior.

Yes, if they were consistent they would commend here for saving the taxpayers money by doing the job herself. Perhaps they are angry at her for denying money to the medical system. Perhaps Moloch prefers his human sacrifices delivered in certain ways.

The U.K. has a good share of the caring, nurturing gender, too.
