Why isn't the father in jail instead? That's what feminists are asking about this.

They'll say they have the wrong person sitting in jail.

Cassidy Goodson, 14-Year-Old, Murders Her Newborn Baby: Cops

A 14-year-old is accused of choking her newborn to death while the baby was still attached to her by the umbilical cord.

Cassidy Goodson of Lakeland, Fla., is charged with first-degree murder and aggravated child abuse, according to the Ledger.

Goodson gave birth to a boy in the bathroom of her home on Sept. 19, ABC News reports.

Police say the high school freshman ultimately used scissors to pry the baby out of her body and into the toilet. Lifting the baby out of the toilet, Goodson "placed her hands on the infant's neck and squeezed until he wasn't moving or breathing any longer," according to a statement released by Polk County Sheriff's Office on Friday.
 
Your link doesn't say anything about what "the feminists" are saying about the case. Even if it did, it could only be partially correct, as feminism is a diverse movement with a range of opinions on cases like this one.

That said, I sure would love to know what kind of home environment this girl had. Would her parents have refused to let her get an abortion? Would they have beaten her up or thrown her out in the street if they'd known she was pregnant? I wouldn't be at all surprised if the answer to both is yes. And then it's only fair to ask, how much can you expect of a desperate 14-year old?
