Shot him twice "by accident?" Yeah, I'm sure it's a tradition in Brooklyn to hold a loaded gun with the safety off while arguing with your boyfriend.

In a way, he got what he wanted: He won't have to take care of the kid.

Maybe he wanted to get married and she didn't want to lose her welfare check.

I anticipate that the pro-abortion movement will portray this as "another murder by the anti-choice thugs." Notice that the woman on trial DID NOT want an abortion. Therefore, unless and until she holds a press conference announcing (loudly and at great length) her support of a woman's "right to choose" death for her unborn child, she will be described as an "anti-choice murderer," and linked with Clayton Waagner and James C. Kopp.

He apparently supported a woman's right to chose.

She chose to abort him, and keep the baby.

[Cicero]

The "right to choose" is a grim euphemism indeed, since numerous young girls are not given a real opportunity to choose. It's very common--maybe even in the majority of cases--for the boyfriends to bribe, pressure or force them to have an abortion. It's also not unknown for parents to drag their daughters to an abortion clinic. Contrariwise, if the parents are pro-life, it's not uncommon for some school councilor or planned-parenthood official to lean heavily on the girl to have an abortion without informing her parents and without any real opportunity to consider the alternatives.

This woman is going to have an uphill battle convincing a New York court to let her off. When abortion is involved, the usual priorities of a liberal judge are to do whatever is necessary to preserve the "right" to unlimited abortions under any circumstances. When a potentially embarrassing issue arises, such as a violent boyfriend, this kind of dirt has to be shoveled under the rug as quickly as possible.

She saved that baby's life. She should be given a medal.

A Brooklyn woman, who admitted she shot her boyfriend dead during a fight in their car over whether she should have an abortion

Why were they in their car? Was he trying to take her to an abortion clinic and she was defending the life of her child?

But prosecutors and Sampson's family say White fired in a rage after he went with his sister to serve White an order of protection to end their six-year relationship.

It should be pretty easy to tell if he had an order of protection with him when the killing happened.

Why does the newspaper give so much more space to the woman's story than the man's?

Revolvers don't have safeties...no one in Brooklyn is dumb enough to get in a gunfight in a car with a semi-auto. Geesh!
