Is there a more despicable crime than murdering a baby? I mean, really... think hard. Murder is always apalling and deplorable and sickening. But no matter what, murdering a baby would be, in my book, the most disgusting, horrible thing a person could do. And in this particular situation, I'm not talking about abortion. I'm talking about a baby living independently, out of the womb, under the age of 1 year. Killing any child is evil, but to sink that low? A baby has no ability to defend themselves, no way to escape the horror that will be inflicted upon it. A baby cannot run away or fight back. A baby is completely reliant upon its parents to care for it, and for one of those parents to then murder it... is there anything more evil than that?
Any mother who kills their own baby deserves to be put to death. I do not care how deranged she is, how stressed out she may be, or how much pain she may be in from the aftermath of labor. Murder is murder, and murdering an infant is especially horrible.
Of course, leave it to a rabid pro-abortionist like Jessica Ferrar to see otherwise. She's a Texas state representative, recently honored by Planned Parenthood and the proud owner of a 100% NARAL approval rating. She's currently trying to force through a bill that would make Catholic hospitals be required to dispense the morning-after pill. Her latest bright idea? To decriminalize infanticide. Introducing Texas HB 3318, the first of its kind in the entire country, known as "the infanticide bill". It defines infanticide as:
A person commits an offense if the person wilfully by an act or omission causes the death of a child to whom the person gave birth within the 12-month period preceding the child's death
The bill says that infanticide should not be prosecuted as murder, though, as long as:
... at the time of the act or omission, the person's judgment was impaired as a result of the effects of giving birth or the effects of lactation following the birth.

Women's Reproductive Rights, step 2: The right to kill the child anytime before the first birthday. Postnatal abortion, legalized. Peter Singer would be so happy.
Thank God, there is a final judgement.

^I wouldn't want to be her on judgement day.
Sheesh!!! Let's hope sanity reigns and this is soundly tossed out where it belongs.

This bill will never get through a Republican-controlled HoR much less an even greater majority in the Senate and Perry's desk.

I would hope not, but it is still a prime example of how twisted those on the left can be. Besides, isn't there already an "insanity defense"? Susan Smith's attorneys tried to use something like that, IIRC. This bill probably would have let her off easy instead of serving life.

I think some adults have caused me to have depression over the years. If I kill one of them, I wonder if I can get the law not to prosecute. lol.
I'm kidding.
I think they're talking about women who suffer from depression after having a baby. I agree they deserve our sympathy but it's still murder if they kill somebody.
