They held a funeral, there is a casket, this is not an "illegal abortion" it is a MURDER.

Ping.

The woman in Suffolk, VA who murdered her baby hours before birth held a funeral yesterday.

But not too poor for vinyl nails, I see.

"God will forgive you," Wiggins told Tammy Skinner
if you ask in true repentance, this is true; HOWEVER, it does not negate the legal consequences of murder.

A girl's got to have her priorities.

"But not too poor for vinyl nails, I see."

You don't understand. Vinyl nails aren't an option. They are a requirement just like brakes on an automobile.

Notice the "young" mother tag, to elicit sympathy and understanding.....

FRY her.

[LongElegantLegs]

Ya'all are right, a glue-on manicure is totally essential to a womans well-being!! ;-)

I hope she pokes herself repeatedly in the eyeball.

At the hairdresser, we thought for sure the baby daddy had shot her in an attempt to get out of his responsibility. It was really shocking to hear she had committed murder. It will be interesting to see what the prosecutors charge her with. We do have a law about harming the unborn child of another person in Virginia but no laws about harming YOUR OWN. unborn child. She needs to do some time on this on this. The baby was due THE DAY that she shot herself in the stomach.

Oh, what a tragedy this is... if only we had state-funded abortions for poor women, she could have had the fetus disembowled and scraped out of her while she was comfortably anesthetized. And of course, we need state-funded funerals afterward, to help with the healing process...

“ ...brought the mourners to their feet with the song "His Eye is on the Sparrow."

The theme song from 'Baretta'?

[GrandEagle]

She needs to do some time on this on this.
Absolutely!
Forgiveness from God does not release you from legal responsibility.

Cordially,

On another note, I notice she wasn't so despondant that she shot herself in the HEAD. No, no... she wanted to live...

[sgtbono2002]

That was my thought too. A shot to the head would have done the job for her.

[dfwgator]

She should plead insanity, she'll get away with it then. Works that way here in Texas.

God can forgive anything, Elder W.P. Wiggins said from the pulpit, his comment directed to the young, single mother

seems to me, forgiveness comes after repentance. didn't see not one mention of that.

[Palladin]

Another church that hands out cheap grace, compliments of the minister.

They seem to forget that God is Just, as well as Merciful.

[Giant Conservative]

She shot the baby to death in cold blood, and deserves no sympathy: all my sympathy goes to the baby.

[Bon mots]

How about young baby shooter and murderer? It's much more accurate.

What's a "baby daddy"?
