Quotes
-
Bureau Chief Elizabeth Donnelly : Someone killed a child. It's our duty to speak for the victim.
A.D.A. Alexandra Cabot : So now we're the pregnancy police? We're violating a woman's rights for what amounts to a... Hail Mary.
Bureau Chief Elizabeth Donnelly : This isn't about abortion rights, Alex. We are talking about a one-month-old infant.
A.D.A. Alexandra Cabot : Okay, so what if that doesn't work, what are we supposed to do - question every single woman who bought an EPT kit at the drugstore?
Bureau Chief Elizabeth Donnelly : I'm afraid you're missing the point. We all worked hard to pass the Baby Safe Haven law. That mother could have dropped her child off at any fire station, any hospital without fear of prosecution - instead, she chose to murder.
