Mom accused of killing baby, leaving him in trash
Chicago Tribune ^ | October 28, 2014 | George Houde

Posted on 10/28/2014 9:42:25 PM PDT by ConservativeStatement

woman who gave birth to a baby boy in a Salvation Army store bathroom, then placed the child in a trash can, went on trial for murder in Cook County on Tuesday..

Jessica Cruz's public defender acknowledged the woman "may have been reckless in not calling for help" but asserted in his opening statements that the baby was stillborn.

"Jessica did not kill this baby, because this baby did not survive the birth," Assistant Public Defender Dan Naranjo said. Cruz is also charged with concealing a homicide.

Isn't this a "choice" in the "progressive" community?

What a difference an hour can make.

The difference between “a brave decision” and homicide.

Ah, I think if I delivered a baby in a rest area I would yell for help.

I think she gave birth in a Salvation Army store bathroom, not a rest area.

Legal abortion..in particular the hideous LATE TERM abortion, makes all life seem cheap and meaningless...

I posted images of discarded dolls because the images of discarded children were just too horrific :-(

May God have the mercy to forgive us....

Aren’t bath rooms called rest rooms?

Anyway, here is an Indianapolis saga http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2315028/Bei-Bei-Shuai-Woman-accused-killing-unborn-baby-drinking-rat-poison-speaks-ahead-murder-trial-lawyer-insists-suicide-attempt.html

I do not know how it ended. Bottom line to me was, let her go. Planned Parenthood could have chopped her baby into bits at 20 or so weeks.

You said “rest area”, not rest room. To me “rest area” is a place along a highway were you pull in for a bathroom break.

[ Isn’t this a “choice” in the “progressive” community? ]

As bad and evil the act she did perform was, at least she didn’t take the “convenient way out” and hire a hit-man ie. abortionist to do her dirty work.

She at least took direct responsibility for snuffing the life of her child out, which puts her above the women who have 3rd term abortions knowingly it is killing a baby.

She still deserves the book be thrown at her.

Rest rooms are we go to relax and relieve ourselves of burdens.

I think it would be very difficult to determine if the baby was born alive. Her lawyers will run with that.

We have 1.3 million of these in this country per year.

She should be locked in a dumpster until she meets her maker - the devil.

If my baby were stillborn, I would have a funeral for him, and let him go with dignity to God’s eternal care.

Well what in the h*ll is the difference????? Oh if you take direct responsibility for your baby’s death, that makes it so much more morally acceptable???
