New York is where Satan goes to vacation.
Horse-hanged.
See for yourself.

The article and my comment were specific to her being on trial for killing her baby. As pertains to that aspect my comment stands. As to the people she killed in the other car for that she should be punished.
{”Some power out there hates human life so much it wants to kill it in the womb.”}
We know what power that is.
Follow that line of “reasoning” to its logical conclusion. A sixty year old progressive is not a person and may be killed in the public interest.
Hung is the past tense and past participle of hang in most of that verbs senses. For instance, yesterday you might have hung a picture on the wall, hung a right turn, and hung your head in sorrow. The exception comes where hang means to put to death by hanging. The past tense and past participle of hang in this sense, and only in this sense, is hanged.
from the Grammarist
It’s proper grammar.
See AP stylebook.
Thank you.
No it is NOT.
The logical destination of of the “logic” of Roe. Of course the starting point for such “logic” is stark raving depraved madness.
Yup. They have to dehumanize them first, because, in their hearts, they still know it’s wrong to murder innocent human beings.
It is unfortunate such a ruling was forced but those involved in making the decision seem to have been stuck between a rock and a hard place.
Indeed as the majority opinion points out, if the conviction had been allowed to stand, it might encourage future mothers in such a situation to not elect to have a cesarean, even to implement life saving measures for the baby, because she might be charged with manslaughter if the baby dies later.
If she (or any woman) had been in a head on collision with a tree, so no one else died as a result, should she still be tried and convicted of manslaughter? Just because her baby died? And the only reason the baby died outside the womb was because she elected to have a cesarean? So if she didn’t have a cesarean she shouldn’t be charged but if she does she should?
No the way I see it the judge’s decision at least removes any legal threat for pregnant women in car accidents who wish to try to save their baby.
Like I said it’s a rock and a hard place situation. (I’m assuming throughout all this she wasn’t intoxicated or anything like that).
How long before someone who kills a baby goes free while someone who kills a baby animal goes to jail? Wait. we’re already there.
Hard to argue against this. It's nice to see that some NY Judges actually recall what each branch's Constitutional duties are.
(Of course, it reads to me like they're hiding behind this correct logic, but I'll appreciate the rare reasoning anyway.)
Not in this instance:
Hanged vs. hung
Hung is the past tense and past participle of hang in most of that verbs senses. For instance, yesterday you might have hung a picture on the wall, hung a right turn, and hung your head in sorrow. The exception comes where hang means to put to death by hanging. The past tense and past participle of hang in this sense, and only in this sense, is hanged.
When someone is hung out of malice but with no intent to kill, as described in the example below, hung is the conventional word:

So is baby sacrifice no longer a crime? Well since the as long as the baby is a few days old it is not a living person.....
She swerved into oncoming traffic and killed 2 other people. The Prosecutor seems to think that she needs more names added to her list of victims, and wants to tinker with the statutes to do it. That takes a lot of time and effort. This Prosecutor is doing it for some reason.
I still agree with the majority decision here, sympathies to the unborn aside. Let the Legislature change the laws, not judges and prosecutors.
Agree. The DA should have been horsewhipped. Had I been on a jury I wouldn’t have convicted either.
Unfortunately a bad case sets an illogical precedent. How many days must pass for cells to become a child?
