Peterson Fetus Humanized By Media; NAGS Outraged

Peterson Fetus Humanized By Media; NAGS Outraged

April 21, 2003

Something momentous is happening in the Laci Peterson double-murder case: all the cable news channels are referring to the couple's "unborn child," who Scott and Laci reportedly planned to name "Connor." What the liberals would ordinarily call an "unviable tissue mass" in the womb has been humanized. The National Organization for Women - affectionately called the NAGS: National Association of Gals - is of course outraged at this respect for life.

They say an eight-month-old fetus isn't alive at all, just as all those nine-month-old fetuses "terminated" by late-term abortion aren't alive. Morris County, NJ NOW's President Mavra Stark: "If this is murder, well, then any time a late-term fetus is aborted, they could call it murder." Over half of the 50 states, including California where the bodies of Laci and Connor washed ashore, have "fetal homicide statutes" enabling prosecutors to seek a double murder charge what a pregnant woman is killed. As I told a caller, there is precedent for charging a pregnant woman for damage her behavior does to a child. Should men be exempt?

Under California law, murder charges can result if the fetus is only older than seven weeks. Connor Peterson was at 32-weeks-old when his mother disappeared on Christmas Eve. This reminds me of a story in Oakland, California that took place in the late 80s. A man's pregnant girlfriend was rendered brain dead at about the same point in her pregnancy as Laci Peterson. The couple had cohabitated, and he wanted to keep her alive to bring the baby to term.

The Oakland NAG chapter jumped into the hospital room with their lawyers and threatened to sue the father to remove the mother from life support. Their whole reason for existing is to make sure that fathers have no rights to determine the future of a fetus; they were going to pull the plug on that fetus to avoid any uncomfortable moral dilemmas such as a fetus being alive when it's wanted but not when it's unwanted. Would it be such an awful thing if we had a few less abortions because people start thinking of fetuses as alive? No, that's a "choice" this special interest group doesn't want women to make. Let this be a lesson to you that what these militant feminists are really all about is very seldom that they claim.

The greatest thing evil can do is pretend it doesn't exist.

perhaps this is a bit morbid, but couldn't it be said that the baby WAS born, even if still-born... isn't it thought that the baby was delivered via the vagina due to gasses building up and pushing the baby out?

Wonder if those NOW "Bush Hogs" were to listen to Mrs. Rocha's emotional statement from yesterday that they might change their minds... Nah.

It's just a piece of lifeless discarded tissue until you show them a picture of an aborted fetus.
Then they become livid at the insensitivity of the picture presenters. Amazing.

The REAL reason Hillary is going after Santorum today - it's the PBA debate in the Senate, and this takes it off the front page and takes away the steam for judicial nominees.

Nice pic. Rush's outfit qualifies as a WMD, however.

The Lesbian Left (my term for NOW, NAGS, etc) are looking like hate-mongering fools in this one.

I find it interesting that a group who promotes homosexuality (Lesbian Left/NOW is one of the big promoters of gay/lesbian issues) can have so much say about killing a child. Childbirth is something a lot of the Lebian Left will never experience

I am sure one of the reasons why Laci was killed was indirectly or directly related to the baby.

Now, normally, I would bitch allot over these handful of high profile killings "adopted" by the media, while countless others are ignored.. It's Jerry Springer sensationalism that I can do without.

This one, however is good because the NAGS are in a bind.

There has long been a double standard with regard to the unborn. The only thing that's consistent here is no one cares what happens to a child the mother doesn't want.

People are starting to realize the intellectual dishonestly of this position and the NAGS have kindly put their heads in the noose over this case in particular when (if they were smart) they would have simply kept quiet about it and just hoped no one noticed.

This is going to come to an end. I can see someone making a 14th Amendment, "equal protection" argument over this issue and driving it all the way to the Supreme Court.

To say that a homicide (and the punishment that accompanies such a serious charge) is only a homicide if that's the whim of the mother on any given day is an insult to the intelligence of the listener and it's an insult to our constitution.

I frankly hope the controversy surrounding the Peterson case will push conservative commentators and writers to give similar cases a higher profile, and showcase this double standard every chance they get.
