Woman allegedly runs over ex-boyfriend's pregnant girlfriend

A Los Angeles woman is in custody for attempting to kill her ex-boyfriend�s pregnant girlfriend by running her over, killing the unborn child, police said.
Monica Mercado, 27, turned herself in at the Los Angeles Police Department�s Newton station Sunday, hours after she allegedly used her sport utility vehicle to try and run down a 24-year-old woman who was dating her ex-boyfriend, police said.

Witnesses told authorities that Mercado and the woman, who was seven months pregnant, got into an argument Sunday morning. Mercado then drove her black Range Rover and struck the woman near the intersection of East 102nd Street and Towne Avenue in South Los Angeles at about 10:30 a.m., �causing her serious injuries and the death of her unborn child,� according to an LAPD news release.

Mercado is being held in lieu of $500,000 bail and �charges are pending for the death of the unborn infant,� according to the release. Police said the 24-year-old woman carrying the child was hospitalized in stable condition.

4. I was not trying ot make the man the bad guy..I was trying to make people

who believe men/women are supposed to be monogamous the bad guy...cause in nature if monogmy is the norm...there IS no cheating..so do not expect perfection from man/woman when it comes to NOT cheating..just sayin!
