This undated photo provided by the Butler County Prison in Butler, Pa., shows Kasey Dischman of Evans City, Pa., arraigned Wednesday, June 28, 2017, on a single first-degree felony count of aggravated assault on an unborn child and sent to the Butler County jail, unable to post $500,000 bond. Authorities say Dischman, roughly seven months pregnant, overdosed on heroin June 23, 2017, causing doctors to deliver Dischman's infant girl using a premature cesarean section the next day. Police say the baby "is now on life support and will have lasting injuries," without describing them. Dischman spent much of her pregnancy in the same jail, about 30 miles north of Pittsburgh, for retail theft before she was released about five days before the overdose. (Butler County Prison via AP)
