New Law in Texas over Infanticide

Megan Nye reported about a new bill that is looking to be passed in Texas over the controversial illness known as Postpartum depression. The law is to make the mental illness caused by the birth of a child be seen as a legitimate defense for women who are consumed by the illness and are indicated due to their murdering their own child. In part of the bill it would only be substantial if the deceased child is under the age of 1. The jury, in the defense of the accused, can take into account of evidence of the disease as a result of giving birth. As of today there are over 25 countries that recognize Infanticide and if passed in Texas we will be the first in the United States to recognize it.
As a resident of Texas I hope that a bill like this does pass for postpartum depression is a serious illness that can result in a lack of sense that otherwise wouldn't be thought of. Personally I have seen what this illness can do to someone, though never have they killed their child, it almost resulted in taking their own life. To have a bill that will protect those taken over by something of this nature will be a great asset and value to those involved and for Texas as well. If evidence is there to be proven as for the condition of the mother in question then an infanticide bill should be moved into action.
