Sick. I pray her surviving children ages 1 and 4 (as in - she didn't kill them too), grow up without her presence.

Illegally inducing an abortion

WTHeck does that mean? You can go to a clinic or hospital and pay 100's of dollars for them to "induce" an abortion, but if you do it yourself it is illegal???

[opinionator]

If only abortion was legal then this tragedy never would have happened.

[newzjunkey]

Sick.

Will NARAL and others defend her? Will her sentence be overturned (assuming conviction) through a Planned Parenthood fight? Will she be ushered off to a mental health facility?

Basicaly, it tells us that the abortion movement is nothing less than a doctor licensing lawyer movement, lawyers practicing medicine.

The abortion alley excuse does not stand in the current circumstances since it is ILLEGAL in the first place.

Now we are more worried about licensing than about the life of the child.

The hypocrisy is the same with the drug war, it's all about money for the drug companies & the government getting to tax the home activities of individuals through official business licensing, with lawyers given free reign to sue "unincorporated" family businesses.

This has never been about abortion, but about licensing the practice for lawyer gov & pimp profits.

The same thing goes with the cigarette tax making unethical profit for the gov & lawyers on the back of the addicted, like any drug pusher would, while hypocriticaly speaking for "our health" by asking to ban/license smoking clubs.

Was the gun legal? I don't understand a person going to that extreme to rid themselves of a child. I wonder how much more to this story there is. If shes guilty then I hope she gets the 10 yrs. At least her other children will be safe from her for 10 yrs.

"She is a good mother"
Interesting definition of a good mother.
Not exactly my idea of one.....

[socialismisinsidious]

Skinner told family members that she was supposed to meet her boyfriend, the baby's father, the night of the shooting to get money for the baby, Hoggard said last week. Larry Skinner said the relationship between the daughter and her boyfriend was strained. "They had their run-ins," he said.

Police declined to comment on whether Skinner tried to blame her boyfriend but said they were not investigating anyone else.

I'd wager that this was NOT an attempt to "induce abortion" (although the pro-abortion crowd would want to spin it that way in order to show how 'desperate' women would be without abortion)...this is about a woman trying to "get even" with her man.....My guess: she wanted to hurt the man through the child.

So to complete the task behind a closed door with an abortionist is legal?

Come on, she shouldn't be charged, I mean after all, she merely pulled a tooth without the dentist. /sarc

[Paulus Invictus]

Lessee now, if abortion is done with a gun shot, how is that a crime more repugnant than when done with medical instruments and a vacume pump? Abortion is murder, no matter how they do it.

Illegally Legally inducing an abortion carries a maximum 10-year prison term, officials said.permanent "loss of life" sentence for the baby!

So, it's OK to kill a baby, just make sure you do it legally?

"For they exchanged the truth of God for a lie, and worshiped and served the creature rather than the Creator, who is blessed forever. Amen.

[Irish_Thatcherite]

and charged her with illegally inducing an abortion

Should be murder in the first degree.
