Lisa Montgomery, a convicted killer who strangled a pregnant woman and then cut the unborn baby from her womb, was executed in a federal prison in Indiana early Wednesday. She was the first woman executed in the federal system in nearly seven decades.

Montgomery was convicted of strangling a Missouri woman who was eight months pregnant in 2004 and taking the unborn baby, who survived.

The 52-year-old woman was pronounced dead at 1:31 a.m. Wednesday after receiving a lethal injection at the federal prison complex in Terre Haute, Indiana, the Federal Bureau of Prisons said.

"The craven bloodlust of a failed administration was on full display tonight," Kelley Henry, an attorney for Montgomery, said in a statement.

I think your client deserved to die...A long time ago...Ms. Henry...

She was sexually abused while growing up...According to defense lawyers...

I am trying to think of females executed in US...

Carla Fay Tucker and Aileen Wuornos...

Movie MONSTER was about Wuornos...Charlize Theron had to make herself look ugly in order to portray that serial killer...

They executed Bewitched?

[Prole]

Good riddance.

[TigersEye]

It appears to be a step in the right direction. She looks just like Hillary. :)

[L.A.Justice]

Good riddance.

I agree...

There will be no federal executions while Joe Biden or Kamala Harris is in White House...

[Jonty30]

At least no deserving ones.

“There will be no federal executions while Joe Biden or Kamala Harris is in White House...”

If they get their way, they’ll be 75 million executions during the administration.

[Maudeen]

Remember. . .anyone who voted for Biden is just as guilty as this individual. Murder is murder.

Next.

[SaveFerris]

Yeah, what you said

[Stravinsky]

She selected her victim, intentionally chatted with and bonded with her, convinced her to meet up, murdered her, then cut out the baby. That’s an extremely cold, calculated killing by a sociopath.

[SaveFerris]

The craven bloodlust was your client, Kelley Henry.

Her crime was beyond horrible.

Hope she accepted Christ before it was over.

[Amberdawn]

I’m glad the Governor didn’t cave. Good riddance, indeed.

[FreedomPoster]

Federal prison, the governor had no say.

[Oshkalaboomboom]

Hope she accepted Christ before it was over.

And what good would that do? Would Christ forgive her and allow her into Heaven? Would she spend a few hundred years in Purgatory then be allowed in? Would she have some sort of peace knowing she was going to burn for eternity in Hell?

[LibertyWoman]

All those who truly repent are indeed forgiven. Even Hitler could have been forgiven had he repented.

[SaveFerris]

It was a pretty horrible crime, to be certain.

I’m reminded of three famous murderers in the Bible. The last two did it by proxy(proxies).

Moses
King David
the Apostle Paul

Perhaps someone can answer it better than I. I’m certain that there is no eternal hope outside the Savior. For any of us.

One less democrat voter but as many noted the last time I posted such a comment, that does not mean one less democrat vote.

Good riddance, let her rot in hell.

I guess timing is everything when it comes to getting into Heaven. What a comfort to know that Mother Teresa could be sharing a room with Aileen Wuornos.
