Autopsy set on infant found in Lake Pontchartrain
by Mary Sparacello, The Times-Picayune
Tuesday February 10, 2009, 2:23 PM
A woman threw a newborn girl into Lake Pontchartrain this afternoon, then drove away, Kenner police said. The child was soon found dead as police hunted for the woman and her car: a bright red Pontiac Grand Am with a temporary license tag in the window.
Witnesses told investigators that they saw the woman "calmly" throw something into the water at Laketown, arouind the Williams Boulevard boat launch, then drive off in the car at about 1:50 p.m.
The naked infant, her umbilical cord still attached to her navel, was soon recovered from 18 inches of water by an officer who waded a few feet into the lake to retrieve the body. She appeared to have been carried to full term, Police Chief Steve Caraway said.
"Nothing could be so bad in your life to lead you to do something like this," Caraway said.
It was not immediately known whether the baby died before or after she was tossed into the water. An autopsy is scheduled Wednesday.
While investigators worked at the scene, the wind gusted and rain drizzled intermittently from a gray sky. The tiny body lay wrapped in an East Jefferson General Hospital ambulance sheet on the ground. Nearby were found a towel and a plastic bag, presumably left behind by the woman.
. . .
The child's death came despite Louisiana's "safe haven" law, approved by the Legislature in 2000 in hopes of stopping new mothers from abandoning unwanted infants to die. The law lets parents anonymously leave newborns with certain medical or law enforcement personnel and avoid criminal charges.

Does the name "Susan Smith" ring a bell?
My almost 16-month-old never will unedrstand why Daddy just picked her up and hugged her, with tears in his eyes--or tried to, as Moose A. Moose was on Noggin and she had to see him . . .

2. If anyone should have had an abortion ...
... it should have been the mother's mother. (http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/images/anim_rolleyes.gif)

You mean been aborted -- retroactively.

So if she had killed the baby a few hours earlier while she was still in the womb, it would've been perfectly okay and logical.
Right.
