THE BABE IN THE BUNKER Barbara Simpson
The modern horror of a baby never born

Just when I think I've heard everything, I get smacked in the face with the realization that I haven't.

Take the issue of women wanting children. Science being what it is, by golly, if she wants one, she'll get one. If you can't make one yourself, get someone to do it for you. Money makes it happen, with help from your friendly, neighborhood specialist.

Use your own egg and your husband's sperm or, pick an egg and choose some sperm.

Think of it: A and B want a child. They use one or more eggs from C, sperm from D, and have E impregnated to carry the baby (or babies) to term.

There's more. The doctor, F, mixes sperm and egg in the lab and chooses which and how many embryos to implant. He also chooses which to "selectively reduce," (that means kill) if too many start to grow – who wants sextuplets, after all?

According to the media, it's easy and age or marital status doesn't matter.

Of course, the woman can always adopt. We're told there are many children needing homes. Of course, left out of that news is the reality of how almost impossibly difficult adoption has become. If you're a white couple desiring a white child, you can almost forget it. That desire is too often regarded as racism. Go figure.

Then again, there's the method of motherhood that so perfectly fits our culture – instant gratification.

You can sum it up like this:

I want a baby. You have one. I'll take it.

Unfortunately, the "new mother" doesn't always wait for the child to be born. She goes right to the pregnant woman, and takes what she wants: the baby – and the life of the mother.

Society tends to frown on this.

It happened again in Missouri last week with headlines telling the grim story.

Here's the scorecard:

One murdered mother – a young Missouri woman, weeks away from delivering her first child ... 23-year old Bobbi Jo Stinnett was strangled.

One kidnapped child – a tiny girl, cut from her mother's womb a month before her expected birth. She faces life without her mother. But, she's alive!

One about-to-be-grandmother, Becky Harper, who discovered her pregnant daughter, near death from strangulation in her own home – her abdomen slashed open – her unborn granddaughter gone.

One young widower, Zeb, married barely a year and about to become a father, who now faces life with a barely-born daughter to raise alone.

Another husband, Kevin Montgomery, of Kansas, whose wife told him and their two children, the newborn child was theirs – that she gave birth early.

Add to these, people whose world is rocked by a senseless crime that intrudes into their notions about life and death and the right of humans to interfere with nature.

Just last week, it was the gory details of Scott Peterson's murders of his 8-month pregnant wife and their unborn son, Conner. Peterson was sentenced to death.

It was a cause celebre when he was charged with "murdering" a child before it was born. Some argued it wasn't a child – even, perhaps, not alive – or whatever other rationale they could dredge up to avoid any comparison to abortion, which after all, is the killing of a child before birth. But that's legal.

Last week, Missouri officials realized that a near-term baby was cut from its mother's womb and kidnapped. It took nine hours before a missing child "Amber Alert" was issued.

We're told the delay was because they didn't have a good description, for example, hair or eye color, size, weight or complexion.

I'm surprised they didn't stall the alert because they didn't know what language the baby spoke.

Why do I suspect they wasted time arguing about whether to issue the alert for the missing child because the baby had never been "born"?

Gee, is it a fetus or a baby? If it's a fetus, how can we say there's a child missing?

Hey fellas, if it looks like a duck, walks like a duck and quacks like a duck, it's a duck.

In this case, if it's an unborn baby inside the womb of a pregnant human woman, chances are, when it's out, it's a human baby.

Despite the delay, by tracing computer data and witness information, police tracked a red car, which had been seen in the Stinnett driveway, to a house in Kansas. They found the baby.

She's apparently fine. Victoria Joy is now with her daddy. DNA tests will confirm her identity and tests on blonde hairs found under the fingernails of her murdered mother will confirm the killer.

Bobbie Jo was on the phone with her mother when the doorbell rang. The last words she spoke were: "Oh, they're here. I've got to go."

Lisa M. Montgomery, 36, confessed going to the Stinnett home ostensibly to buy a dog, in an arrangement set up via the Internet. Instead, she killed the woman, mutilated her body and kidnapped the unborn child. She's under arrest.

It sounds premeditated to me. But, she doesn't have a lawyer yet. Just imagine her plea.

I'm hoping this case will be different. But then, I've been in the news business a long time.

It's a far cry from the Institionalized racism of Uncle Sam who will only give you a $10,000 tax credit for adopting a foreign child or a NON-SPECIAL NEEDS domestic kid.

I couldn`t believe that story when I heard it. She strangles the mother, cuts open her belly, takes the baby then starts showing the baby around town even to her pastor as if it`s her own. So I guess liberals will now start screaming "right to choose" but in a whole new sick context.

I've got $50 that says that this bitch isn't going to hang.

Bring her here to Florida and we would introduce her to the last day of her life, strapped to the table...

Our philophy is, y'all strap 'em down or project 'em.

When Karen walks through an airport, and shopping malls; heads turn so fast that the EMS squads shows up for neck injuries.

We had a Christmas party this evening. Most of the women were wearing our Bullet Bras. The Cone Cups model was very funny when the wives arrived, they rang the doorbell with... Of course all of the guys had to wear eye protective wear for fear of ocular puncture damage. "Strap 'em in, or project 'em out" is our marketing credo.

Remember: John Kerry voted against the Lacy Peterson law. This law was opposed by most RATS.

They are opposed to it because it infringes on their delusion that a child in utero is not a child, but a fetus, or a lump of cells. Admitting that a child in utero is a child complicates the issue of abortion and choice, and the liberals don't want to have to admit that they support infanticide.

Yeah because Kerry wants women to be able to keep killing babies. The thing that gets me about the whole abortion deal is they always scream "My right to choose! AAHH! Pro Choice!! WAAH!" WHY are they SO for abortion in the first place? Is abortion something they do regularly?? Is this like some sort of hobby for them that they gotta go so crazy about it? I would THINK that doing it would be something a woman would do as an absolute last resort, like deciding whether or not to cut your leg off, but nooooo, they scream about it like they do it all the time! Plus everytime you do it you damage the uterus. I forget what the number is, but I think after the 2nd or 3rd one that`s it, you can`t have kids anymore. What the hell are they so gung ho about? This is like supporting self mutilation like it`s as common as breathing. If it hasn`t occured to these idiots, suicide and euthanasia for humans is illegal. And even if it wasn`t, people by nature don`t like to stand by and do nothing when a human is harming themselves, especially if it involves a freggin` baby! To me the whole thing should be approved beforehand by a judge or maybe a doctor who needs good cause first. Like say the pregnancy is life threatening to the mother, or it`s a pregnant 13 year old from rape, or the kid is going be very ugly, like say Hitlery or Helen Thomas got pregnant, THEN by all means, abort the spawn!

Or if you're a white (or mixed-race) couple wanting to adopt a black child, that's racism ... you want to destroy the child's "black culture." Or if you're a black couple wanting to adopt a black child, you probably don't meet the socioeconomic or secular-humanist standards ... What? Bring the child up as a Christian? Can't have that!

MacBeth, Act 5 Scene 7:

(MacDuff) "Despair thy charm -
For MacDuff was from his mother's womb untimely ripped"

In the midst of this horror, there is a bright, shining light. To what end this life exists we do not yet know, but it is a testament nonetheless that God is not yet done with this world.

I was never in my life unsure of what an 8-month pregnant wife was caring as in the case of Laci Peterson.
A little family history might help.
My mother came along in Grandmothers 7th month of gestation back in 1924. Premature babies in those days born out in the country, Muldoon, TX, Southwest Fayette County to be specific, had a birth survival expectation of about 0 %. Granddad was a civil engineer and grandmother raised chickens for "pin-money." The two of them came up with an idea that worked. Granddad and the country MD who delivered mom one very cold November night got busy and took a light bulb of unknown wattage and fabricated a brooder box used for baby chicks into a pretty fair prototype of today's incubators complete with a pan of water for humidity. It worked! Mom turned 80 years old Nov. 2nd. My granddad told us the Dr. resisted the idea at first but gave in because of the hopelessness of saving my 1lb. mom. The country MD latter wrote a book entitled Confessions of a country MD and mentioned "his" improvised incubator.

Now get real people don't let someones political agenda get in the way of what your heart and head tell you. It is was and will always be a baby.

The Dionne quintuplets, born on a farm in rural Quebec in 1934, were put into a similar apparatus.

I also know a woman, now in her 70s who was born at home and weighed less than two pounds.

Special needs adoptions get the same tax credit. The difference is though that they get the credit whether they spent 10K on the adoption or not. Special needs adoptions are usually cheaper, but they are still allowed to take the entire credit (though not always all in the same tax year).

Domestic adoptions you can only take up to actual expenses (which usually would still run way over 10K). Some private adoptions though could be relatively inexpensive and those situations would not be able to take the full credit.

"I've got $50 that says that this bitch isn't going to hang."

My thought exactly when the headline in the NYPost contained the phrase: "disturbed woman...".

Well of course she's disturbed. How about a loony, nutso, batty, nuttier than a Payday, howling at the moon psycho?

Unless it can be proved she was under the influence of a demon, she's absolutely ga-ga.
