If she was going to the hospital anyway, couldn't she have just let the baby live and left it there?

I must meet this wonderfully courageous young woman!

As Queen of AmeriKa, and mistress of choice, I must congratulate her on this great advance for the Sacrament of Choice.

Hail Molech!!!

"She faces a max of life in prison"

WHAT!! she should be killed in the most inhumane of ways. my suggestions...

1) sprayed with acid
2) upside-down crucifixion
3) boiled in oil

any of those would do, and YES i would like to be the executioner.

Just another late, late, late term abortion.
It's none of our business.
It's just about sex.
A mother has the right to choose.
Nothing to see here, move along...

There are more and more of these inhuman murders. It's amazing that the pro-abortionists can't see that advocating killing babies in the womb frees up women to kill them after they leave the womb. This so sickens me. Women, whose instrinsic nature is to be mothers, turning into witches who kill. It's one of the examples of how our hedonist/secular humanist/moral relativist society is turning everything inside out.

"double homicide"

That's because STATE LAW allows for the charge if the baby would be viable outside the womb. Connor was over 8 mos. which makes it a really good probability that the baby would have survived if he had been born on Christmas day.
