Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaKeri Lynn Pratt, who plays the teenager Lauren, was actually 27 when this was filmed.
- GoofsWarner says the baby's cause of death was hypertension because the mother's severe internal bleeding caused the fetus to not get enough blood flowing across the placenta causing it to suffocate. So if that's true saying the COD was hypertension makes no sense at all, hypertension is when someone has high blood pressure, if the fetus wasn't getting enough blood it would have low blood pressure, also known as hypotension. But neither of those would be the COD here, if the fetus wasn't getting enough blood and died because of a lack of oxygen then the COD would by hypoxia, which is the technical term for the body's tissues not getting enough oxygen. Saying the COD is asphyxia (suffocation) is also incorrect because asphyxiation is a condition of insufficient oxygen in the body caused by abnormal breathing, and a unborn baby doesn't breathe.

Featured review
To limit her options
The SVU squad gets a real winner of a case in this episode. Young Keri Lynn Pratt is pregnant and found beaten in an SRO hotel several weeks pregnant. She makes it and the infant dies.
Diane Neal is at first hot to trot to convict on this case. The perpetrator is her boyfriend John Patrick Amedori and it was on her instruction to beat her savagely and kill the fetus.
These two came up from Virginia to escape her fundamentalist dad Skipp Suddith and and get an abortion, but even in liberal New York there are restrictions and the clinic she goes to turns out to be one of those right to life fronts which is run by Robert Foxworth who fudges her records to limit her options.
This episode is an interesting take on the fundamental freedom promised in Roe v. Wade by the Supreme Court and the chipping away of those rights. Make sure to see this one.
