---SNIP--- “At one time women and children were considered safe. We were off-limits,” said McCleary, 52, and cofounder of the group Moms Bonded by Grief. “It isn’t like that anymore.”

On Friday, a pregnant woman was fatally shot while in a vehicle on Ninth Street between Dauphin and York Streets and, after doctors performed an emergency C-section, her baby died, too. Her identity has not been revealed by police, who have described the woman as being in her 30s.

Relatives of shooting victims and advocates said Saturday that if a pregnant woman can become a casualty of the city’s soaring gun violence, then no one is safe.

Victims were black. Good guess - shooter was black as well. Not newsworthy. Their lives didn’t matter.

Perhaps we should be more ambitious.Rather than just focusing on violence against women (a very worthy endeavor) we should focus on violence in general.Male,female,young and old.

The perps are usually male which is why emptying the jails is anti-woman.

So then, at one time, rampant gang violence was acceptable , or tolerable, because the feral, amoral gangs had enough civilized decency to spare innocent women and children? Is that what they are saying????

But now the revulsion sets in , at the shock of feral amoral gangs not having any conscience at all? Is that the attitude here?

It's not "gun violence".

Ask Mike Bloomberg what it is. He knows.

Blacks murdering blacks still extremely high yet the Democrats solution to this is we need to disarm law abiding citizens.

Perhaps they will claim they were just performing an abortion and should not be prosecuted.

The problem is black violence with unlicensed guns. Gun control won’t stop this. Would make it worse.
