Boy, is she getting off light! If this had been a man, he'd probably have been thrown in the slammer for a lot longer than 180 days, with no commutation of his sentence either...

Can't you mean people just leave this girl alone???!!! For G-d's sake, she lost her baby! Isn't that punnishment enough???!!!

/sarcasm

We certainly can't send this girl to prison, it would be too unpleasant for her!

What the hell is this world coming to, when a woman smothers a child to death, and it's not called murder? The deliberate and unlawful taking of a human life!

I guess it was just a retroactive abortion.

I think that when judges, such as the one in this case, start off with the assumption that every woman has a right to kill her baby before its born, then it's not that big a jump to say that every woman has a right to a post-partum abortion too.

I think we must be missing some information here. Art Danner is a former DA, and he is no bleeding heart.

Not to mention the fact that no one would care about his well-being, once he was locked up.

If the baby had been a cat the woman would be in some serious trouble.

Lemme guess. She's a fine young woman who happened to make a bad choice. That she now regrets.

Anyway, that's the hook that Toogood's lawyer used.

Putting stickers on trash dumpsters to deter women from dumping their newborns? How crazy is this?

[MHGinTN]

How can the law in good conscience even pursue this female (mother is not appropriate in this case)! A person with degrees is allowed to drown and scissor little ones to death, practicing serial killing for profit, yet a female who does the same only once is to be prosecuted? It makes no sense.

It's california, you have to ask? ;)

There's a storm comin' ... and I'm afraid its going to last about seven years. The second three and a half of them are supposed to be a real doozy.

[dennisw]

As another poster said, this was just a very late term abortion.

[MHGinTN]

So true my friend! The pestelence and war are now in focus. We are the object of the satanic hate and our nation has built up too much wrong that cries out for justice. We don't deserve the life we live because as the sovereigns of this once great Republic, we allowed the godless and blood-thirsty to take over our courts and institutions, our communications system and our government. just as the slogan goes 'you get what you pay for', we've paid for sanctioned serial killing and deviousness, now we get what we paid for.

[MHGinTN]

BTW, Jeff, how's that third book comin'?

Reminds me of something I was reading the other night from Systematic Theology by Strong. He was commenting about the first appearance of Jesus on this earth. It was at the right time - Roman roads were built which helped spread the gospel quickly, writing and communication was at the right level, political structures, etc and so on. A few years earlier or later may have made a huge difference. Like a huge algorithm God knew when to plug in the right variable to the equation, and equation we do not fully grasp.

One thing we have lost, imho, is the depth of understanding and faith those who came before us had. People read the bible and don't do in depth studies like those in earlier centuries did. Many have gotten used to people thinking for them and telling them what to believe. If you have not read systematic theology or others like it I highly recommend it.

You can also find over 5000 books for free download in text format online at project guttenburg, including Evolution Of Theology: An Anthropological Study and other cool things like books from the start of this century and previous centuries, from authors like Shakespeare, Poe, Dante, as well as well-loved favorites like the Sherlock Holmes stories by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, the Tarzan and Mars books of Edgar Rice Burroughs, Alice's adventures in Wonderland as told by Lewis Carroll, and thousands of others.

Well, it only took 8 posts before someone said it, but you are right. If it had been a dog or a cat, she probably would have gotten 180 years, and not 180 days.

[Mark17]

The second three and a half of them are supposed to be a real doozy.

I don't think the first half is going to real great either, but I have a feeling that those people alive at the time this goes down, will realize the jig is up, and will call for the mountains to fall on them.

Well into Chapter Two. Will be at 100 pages this weekend, or maybe even more.

Will post an excerpt on FR probably Friday.

Thanks for asking
