One of the most disturbing stories I\'ve read in a long time
 

I'm actually at a loss for words --- maybe it's because my family will grow by one before the end of the year, but this is just awful:

Hey, this is "just a bit of tissue" according to so many people. You might consider it like someone stealing your clipped fingernails. [img]/images/graemlins/tongue.gif[/img]

Very sickening story. [img]/images/graemlins/tongue.gif[/img]

Anyway, congrats on your upcoming new addition, elwood. Just what we need...another little liberal running around. Just kidding. Is this your first? I saw a quote yesterday that went something like: "Having a child is accepting that ever after your heart will walk around outside your body." Totally right. It's an amazing feeling. Well that's my touchy-feely comment for the week.

Second. I've got a little Elwood who just turned two. The second will be a little Ms. Blues.

Thinking about this makes me realize that this is pretty close to a perfect crime for someone who wants a baby without being caught. After all, there are no fingerprints, no foot prints, no pictures, maybe no detailed blood test, etc.

It puts the lie to all those who so undervalue the lives of the unborn. Here someone was willing to kill a person to get what so many people dismiss as a piece of tissue.

Makes you think.

well, this is not exactly true, we have DNA test to figure out who the baby's daddy is, so I am sure if there was suspect you could test for it.

this is a very disturbing story.

also, BGC an 8 month old fetus is not the same thing as a one month old fetus. I have noticed twice you trying to make this point.

Given the way liberals are so gung ho for partial birth abortions, the difference is not so great by their measure.

The girl has been found in good health.

Note though, that all the stories talked about a fetus, but as soon as she was removed from her mother, she was suddenly a "real" person. This may be the first case of a criminal giving "personhood" to his victim, that is for those of you that don't think fetuses are people.

well, I think once a doctor says that the fetus could possibly survive this crude "birth"(I suppose you could call it that) I think it ceases to be a fetus and becomes a baby. The same cannot be said for a 2 month old fetus. Once its taken out of the womb(as far as I know) it has zero chance of survival.

I think the distinction is important.

So I suppose if you murder a person who is in a coma and can not survive without life support, it is less of a crime than to murder a "normal" person?
