So, you're saying this is another example where the state doesn't care if you let your kid starve to death?
The irony of the whole story is just sickening. Of course, everyond knows that treating your children this way is wrong. But we're tied up in knots because we've given up our right to use language such as right and wrong. In the current political climate, I just can't understand why this woman isn't left to kill her kids or let them live as she chooses.
Then again, I'm not sure how the current political climate condemns Andrea Yates either. It's either OK to kill your kids, or it's not.
Shalom.

Brad's Gramma, I can't really give a piece of my mind any better than our great ArGee did. ArGee, you summed it up pretty well. We dug ourselves into a very deep whole in 1973. "It's either OK to kill your kids, or it's not" I guess, as ArGee said, it depends on the motivation. If you are obtaining a selfish abortion because you've got too many kids to feed already, or a man will get the CEO spot you've worked 15 years for, then it's ok to kill your child. If you’re just a psycho, hormonal woman who doesn't like your kids today, then killing them is bad. Sometimes. Sometimes we feel sorry for her because we just don't understand postpartum depression well enough, or gee, she was molested as a child. Sniff. Then of course, you've got your average idiot involved in a stupid cult which tells them what to do. They are so sucked up into it, they will kill their own children if told, by feeding them water and almond milk. I’m sorry, but idiocy this day and age about infant or childcare really amazes me. I can’t believe people are so stupid.
Geeze, I have no idea what I'm saying. I'm rambling. I agree with ArGee that the not so fine line, but the very plain and easy to understand LINE of RIGHT and WRONG is very blurred. And I really don't appreciate the Supreme Court, the Legislature, the President, NOW, the NEA, etc.....telling me what's right and wrong. If you don't follow God's laws of what's right and wrong, for example...THOU SHALT NOT MURDER...PERIOD...life tends to get awfully complicated and ironic. It’s pretty disgusting to me that we, as a nation, have to depend on the courts to tell us which lives are worth protecting and which ones aren’t. I guess if you are a baby, it all depends on the luck of the draw. How sad.
As far as I'm concerned, I think anyone who kills their own flesh and blood is involved in a cult. The cult of hedonisim and/or humanism. JMHO
