I suppose in your world, a hung jury is well endowed.

That “power” had so much hatred for Christ that it killed
hundreds of very young children rather than to risk Christ
coming of age . . and, even now, the rage is so consuming
that the power still pursues the kin of the child. Now,
the anger belongs to God; and His fury is about to “come up
in His face” resulting in blood up to the horses’ bridles
for many miles and the armies representing this power will
fight in total confusion & friendly fire.

Don’t you have to stop and pause at a few things: Shouldn’t the NY legislature be the ones to make this a crime? We are tired of rogue prosecutors coming up with theories of liability, whether it involves using Sarbanes-Oxley to prosecute under-sized fish (Yates decision) or using Chemical Weapons laws to go after a jilted lover (Bond). I don’t want courts making up laws, and I don’t want prosecutors creating laws through enforcement strategies.

Here we go again w/ courts/judges reading into that which is not there: deeming the Law didn’t INTEND one way or another.

B.S. What does the Law SAY. Words have meaning and they should have meant EXACTLY what the Law said

Course, now, the lawyers are all in a tizzy for all the $$ coming their way from clients convicted on the basis that the child (in-utero) is a person and had possibly years added to their sentence.

When will it be a person? At 5? Or at 18? Or if it a conservative, never?

Yeah, after I posted this I was like...”It should’ve been hanged.”

Oh well, I think you knew what I meant.

’Carly Fiorina Was Right’: Group Releases Full Abortion Video Mentioned in GOP Debate
http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/3344264/posts

**WARNING: GRAPHIC CONTENT**
{See the link above which includes actual photos and videos}

...

The graphic video of a “fully formed fetus… its legs kicking” appears in episode 3 of a multi-part documentary produced by the Center for Medical Progress (CMP). This video shows former tissue procurement specialist Holly O’Donnell describing how she was shown an intact fetus with a beating heart. O’Donnell says of this moment, “I don’t know if that constitutes it’s technically dead, or it’s alive.” O’Donnell was then asked to harvest brain tissue from the same fetus by cutting through its face.

As O’Donnell narrates her gruesome experience, the video shifts to 10 seconds of a fetus in a metal bowl which is still moving. The video is clearly labeled as coming from the Grantham Collection & Center for Bioethical Reform. It is not video of the fetus O’Donnell is describing but was inserted by the producers to illustrate what a living fetus at this gestation would look like.

"The sole issue that we reach on this appeal, however, is whether a woman can be convicted of manslaughter for reckless conduct that she engaged in while pregnant..."

Whether the decision is right or wrong on it's actual issue, the issue isn't about the status of a six day old child.

Whether they are hung or not is a matter of speculation. But they should all be hanged.

The murder lobby wants it legal to murder children up to six years old.

At the time of the collision, defendant was 34 weeks pregnant. She was taken to a local hospital where, due to signs of fetal distress, she consented to an emergency cesarean section.

Despite the best efforts of hospital personnel, the baby died six days later.

An autopsy confirmed that the cause of death was due to injuries sustained in the accident.... Following deliberations, the jury returned a verdict finding

....a six-day-old child is not a person

You get it. It should have been three counts, not just one.
