Welcome to America, Land of the Double Standard



"In January, the state Supreme Court ruled that unborn children at all stages of development are covered under the state's criminal homicide statute. The law exempts the death of a fetus during an abortion."



In other words, if you'd like to kill your unborn child, please step up to the abortion clinic where the law-abiding baby-killers go. Otherwise you may be charged with murder.



Does anyone other than me think this is completely ludicrous? Come on America, choose. A fetus either IS a child, or it ISN'T. You can't say "It IS a child whose rights we will defend!... unless of course the mother chooses to kill it... because it is her body and she has the right to choose." Why should this woman be arrested for murder? She exercised her right to choose. She chose not to care whether her babies lived or died. For some reason what she did is so appalling... and yet, if she had instead decided to just kill them outright via abortion... she'd be fully accepted by society and nowhere near the headlines.



Ugh. What a retarded world.
