A GoFundMe account has been established for Wilkins' recovery.

District Attorney Stan Garrett confirmed Friday that Dynel Lane will face other charges but she will not be charged with murder.

Lane, 34, is suspected of luring Michelle Wilkins, 26, with a Craigslist ad for baby items, then beating her, stabbing her with a knife and jagged glass, and removing her child from her belly.

Lane was initially charged with first-degree attempted murder, first-degree assault, and child abuse knowingly and recklessly resulting in death, and held on $2 million bond.

With Wilkins' baby at seven months of age, viable age outside the womb, the case has brought the personhood debate further to the forefront. Colorado law does not recognize murder of the unborn as the same as a child outside the womb. (Photo: Michelle Wilkins/Go Fund Me)

The Boulder County DA stated last week that, "the issues involving an unborn child are complicated under Colorado law. In most circumstances, if a child was not actually born alive, then homicide charges are not possible."
