<B>Was Connor a Baby? </B> A tiny body reveals the Empress NOW has no clothes.

When the tiny body washed ashore, it was identified as a baby. When a woman's body was discovered only a mile away, the nation was gripped with the horrifying possibility that Laci Peterson had been found and that the infant found earlier was her baby, whom she had named Connor. When DNA testing identified the bodies, television networks interrupted coverage of the Iraqi war to report the double homicide of Laci and Connor Peterson. People around the world reeled with shock and grief at the brutality and callousness of the murders committed, unbelievably, on Christmas Eve.

But not everyone saw two dead bodies: Seeing instead the political implications, several leaders of the National Organization for Women (NOW), made public statements of breathtaking insensitivity, declaring that since the baby had been "unborn," authorities should not be thinking about a double murder charge. Marva Stark, head of New Jersey NOW told the Daily Record in Morristown, NJ that even though Laci had a name for Connor, "if he wasn't born, he wasn't born." Following a firestorm of outrage, NOW's national spokespersons have declined to comment on Stark's remarks and have tried to sidestep away from public censure without retracting the statements.

NOW would have us turn a blind eye to the fact that, when found, little Connor was identified as "a full-term baby." If Laci's body had not been found, and the baby had remained unidentified, who would have known that this was . . . what? A postmortem birth? And yet, without knowing that this little unidentified baby was the unborn Connor Peterson, his death would have remained a straightforward unsolved murder of an unidentified person.

The mind boggles. The eyes turn away. Who among us knew, or could comprehend, that a baby could be delivered in such tragic fashion. But think for a moment - it is not necessarily the fact of Laci's death that decreed Connor's death. Babies have been, in fact, safely delivered of dying mothers. Historically many a mother has given her own life in the process of allowing her baby to breathe the breath of life.

Let's review. A pregnant woman disappears on the day before Christmas. The nation sees pictures of her incandescent smile for four months. Television screens around the world transmit radiant pictures of her glowing "with child." We don't want to believe that she is dead; we can't imagine the kind of cruelty that would murder her and her baby.

Through the long winter of 2003, Americans and people around the world came to care about Laci Peterson and her baby; we wanted them both to be safe. When his fully-formed body was found, it underscored what most Americans already felt in their hearts -- it was especially tragic that two lives were lost so horrifically.

By turning Laci and Connor's tragedy into a political event, NOW's attitude is: don't grieve for Connor; he was a month away from being born. In the midst of our shock and horror, NOW is saying that his death doesn't count. NOW does not see this crime as an act with double impact.

Indeed, that is the problem. NOW's leaders fail to see.

Yet, there are moments in time when events come into focus; when eyes are opened; when truth is revealed. This is one of those times. NOW's reactions to the Peterson tragedy -- even their tepid sidestepping under public pressure -- show their utter disregard for the whole woman. Their agenda has degenerated into a single point: It's all about abortion, all the time. NOW has shown its true myopia.

It is clear that NOW's vision is limited to a political agenda -- abortion, abortion, abortion. Marva Stark said, "If this is murder, well, then any time a late-term fetus is aborted, they could call it murder."

In the wake of the horrifying death of a beautiful young woman and her baby, NOW raced to the microphones to talk about abortion and used callous technicalities to describe the preciousness of life. Revealing that the Empress NOW has no clothes, the national office has determined that it is not "the right thing to take a position right now." Meanwhile, average Americans, unconcerned with politics, see only the unbearable waste of life and have created a makeshift shrine in front of Laci's home. They've left candles for her . . . and there are teddy bears with cards reading, "For Connor."

. Baby Conner could turn out to be the most important newborn in the new millennium....Millions of people watched as this tragic event unraveled. Laci became Americas daughter, sister or grandaughter and Connor Americas baby. We all wept for them, hoped for them and prayed for their safe return.

....We didn't want this baby dead, we wanted him safe and happy in the folds of his loving mothers arms.

The majority of Americans lived unscathed by NOW"S initial crusades, those were other people's babies, they remained unattached,....but

NOW has attacked our baby, AMERICAS baby and opened our eyes to it's atrocious dogma , BABIES ARE AS DISPOSABLE AS ANY OTHER PIECE OF GARBAGE!!!!!!

....it, NOW, just may have launched it's own EXODUS.

"If this is murder, well, then any time a late-term fetus is aborted, they could call it murder." ....exactly why NOW is in a tizzy!!!!!!

[GrandMoM]

They'll simply count on the fact that Laci and Conner will disappear from the public eye when the next sensational story supercedes it, and continue their 'work'.

....I'm praying for a swift trail so that won't happen!

This tragic situation illustrates the slide down the 'slippery slope'. NOW has dehumanized the little ones waiting to be born. Such dehumanization is assisting in the further dehumanization of the earlier ages along the lifetime begun at aconception, such that now the nation is on the verge of embracing cannibaizing the earliest aged individual human beings in the name of enlightened medical advance. What the ghouls dehumanizing the clearly human and viable little ones accomplish is a lowering of standards regarding 'reasonable doubt' as to the 'full humanity' of the preborn, as compared to mere 'potential for becoming' a 'full human being'. If NOW and NARAL can create a doubt in voters' minds that the fully formed as yet unborn are 'fully human beings', then how much easier it is to cast immediate odubt upon whether the embryo is a human being, so the public can be manipulated to endorse the cannibalizing of these earliest age of individual human lives as 'less than humans so fair game for exploitation'. Pray the American people awaken soon, that God raises up voices to whom His Spirit will lend power and opportunity, power to awaken the people to the hideous truth in cannibalism on the embryonic humans.

Tiller! Saga of a protected serial killer. But then, abortionists are merely serial killers, nothing more. Odd how a segment of society has come to value these serial killers, almost like high priests of the death cult euphemistically called 'pro-choice'.

May God bless Laci's family with peace and comfort which seems impossible with this terrible tradegy most likely brought about by someone they loved and trusted. But, God is the God of the impossible so I pray that prayer for peace and healing nonetheless.

May God also use this "case" to help bring down the abortionists rights in the land. May God use this evil, that was meant for bad, to bring some good. I am sorry, sor very sorry for the loss of this family though.

If a NOW member is expecting -- always assuming it is possible for NOW members to get into a delicate condition -- especially by the process that involves a male intromittent member and, perforce, the male -- and where will you find a male who will sink to such depths? -- and you ask her what she is expecting, what will she reply? "Oh, I'm expecting a fetus"? "A meaningless scrap of tissue"? "A mass of commercially underutilized stem cells"?

NOW women must be really, really dense. Other women know what babies are and where they come from. Other women have more fun, too.

NOW = National Organization of Witches

They probably believe that Scott should only be charged with "Practicing Medicine Without A License!"
