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.

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.

John, I'm at a lose for words.... I could probably say more but I would be banned from FR.

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...

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.

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.

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.


OMG NEAR DEATH?? This story is horrible enough as it is, But being near death and having the baby removed from her.. This makes me sick.

Skidmore is in rural Nodaway County, Missouri. For those of you who are not Missourians and devoted to Red State justice; Skidmore has a history of taking the law into its own hands.

More than twenty years ago (1981) Ken Rex McElroy, the town bully and thief, was shot down in full view of dozens of town residents - including the Baptist Preacher. It was rumoured that 3 or 4 of the towns leading citizens stepped up and each shot McElroy. What is known is that he was shot with several different firearms and no one, not one town citizen standing in full view of the crime scene, admitted to seeing anything.

I know about this because I worked with a former deputy for Nodaway County who was on duty that day. She said that the Sheriff had been in Skidmore attending a town meeting about the "McElroy" problem and that the Sheriff had not gotten back to the county seat before the shooting call came in. When he, and other deputies, got to Skidmore they found McElroy's truck, engine burnt up from his foot pushing the gas pedal by reflex, with McElroy stone dead behind the wheel. The truck had run wide-open for twenty-forty minutes until it blew up and no one came to turn it off.

That's Skidmore. That's Nodaway County. Can you say "death penalty" for this child stealing butcher? I sure can see it coming.

French Kerry voted against the Laci Peterson law, which makes it a federal crime to harm women and their unborn babies. What happened in Missouri is the type of incidents that Kerry and other pro-choice politicians like.

"...from my mother's womb untimely pluck'd..." (Macbeth)

Prayers for this child and surviving family.
