I have always thought it extremely interesting that if one kills a public official, there's a rather quick death sentence served. If one atempts to kill a pulic official, there's something equivalent to actual life in prison. If one kills a child or an uninterested bystander to a holdup or a wife, it's 15 years with time off, and if you wound the same, you might get probation. I am sure that this is very scientific and all. It just gives the appearance that lawmakers see the benefits of harsh punishment only when it affects their crowd.

What nonsense, there are few killers or attempted killers of public officials. Talk about an ill-thought out comment.

..and if one kills and unborn child, she is exercising a woman's God-given right to "choose."
