PORTLAND, Ore. -- A Washington County, Oregon grand jury charged Korena Roberts with four additional charges of aggravated murder and two counts of robbery. Roberts pleaded not guilty to each of these charges.

Roberts is accused of killing 21-year-old Heather Snively of St. Albans, West Virginia. Snively had recently moved with the baby's father to Oregon when got a new job.

Investigators said Roberts cut Snively's unborn baby boy out of her womb. Both the mother and the fetus died as a result.

Roberts will not be charged in the death of Snively's child. Instead, she will be charged with robbery, when she allegedly cut the baby from Snively's body.

It boils my blood when an unborn baby is not seen as a life!

Instead, she will be charged with robbery, when she allegedly cut the baby from Snively's body.

In plain English, that just sounds absolutely silly. Actually cutting a baby from its mother's body is just robbery??? Stopping a baby from growing inside its mother and being born is just robbery??? Sorry, I can't wrap my mind around that!!!

I don't care about the law, I'm speaking as a woman and from the deepest part of my heart. If anyone out there wants to debate me, well, you'll be hearing crickets.

My heart goes out to the family of Heather Snively.
