Soon to come:
“Leniency sought for some who kill the mentally ill”
“Leniency sought for some who kill the terminally ill”
“Leniency sought for some who kill the handicapped”
“Leniency sought for some who kill elderly parents”
Aw, come on, it’s just a late abortion.
Isn’t it odd, in many states you can get in trouble for spanking your kids but gosh, if you can convince them that you had the postpartum blues you could conceivably get off easy.
No doubt, Obam’s new SCOTUS nominee will manifest the appropriate empathy.
Just jerking your chain ;)
I spend about two months a year working in Texas.
OK, well, Laredo anyway.
It’s almost like Texas.
Love Texas, but yer mamas are going plumb crazy n’yonder.

“Andrea Yates drowned her five children in the family’s Houston bathtub in 2001. In 2003, Deanna Laney beat her two young sons to death with stones in East Texas, and Lisa Ann Diaz drowned her daughters in a Plano bathtub. Dena Schlosser fatally severed her 10-month-old daughter’s arms with a kitchen knife in 2004.
All four of those women were found innocent by reason of insanity. Yates initially was convicted of capital murder, but it was overturned on appeal.”
You were right.
See post #28
I thought Yates was actually being treated for post-partem psychosis. She had been prescribed some pretty strong meds and was under a doctor’s care when she finally snapped. What she did was horrific, but I, for one, always believed she was truly mentally ill and have always felt her husband was more to blame for 1) not getting her the care she needed and 2) not protecting his children. Add 3) knocking her up a fifth time when she was falling apart with 4. I never thought jail was the appropriate place for her.
Susan Smith on the other hand is an evil, scheming, selfish human who deserves to be in jail.
We need more excuses for women to commit murder? Let’s see: it’s OK to murder your husband if you say he beat you, it’s OK to murder your husband if you say he mentally bothered you, it’s OK to murder your husband if you claim he molested your children, it’s OK to murder your unborn baby if you say it’s unbearable, it’s OK to murder your unborn baby if you say it’s inconvenient, it’s OK to murder your children if you say they have become inconvenient. Wow, I guess Jack Nicholson’s character in “As Good As It Gets” was correct: to write accurately about women, you write about a man, and remove all rationality and all responsibility.
America's future is getting uglier every day, and it's less than 110 days in. I cringe at the thought of seeing what nightmares they have in store for year # 4.
“Leniency sought for some who kill crying toddlers”
“Leniency sought for some who kill for money’s sake”
