Crazy is as Crazy Does
This is one of those stories where it seems to me the crime itself is evidence of insanity (at least if you define insanity as repeating the same action over and over again expecting a different result).
Why would a woman continue to bear children and then murder them because she believed she could not afford to take care of them or that having a child would drive away her male companion? Hasn't she heard of contraception? Or - in a worst-case scenario - abortion? The only reasonable explanation is that she is insane.
The fact that she hid two of the bodies in a communal freezer in the basement of her apartment building only supports this view.
