Laci Peterson case tied to Roe debate - (NOW argues baby was not murdered)

[Mark Felton]

The head of the National Organization for Women's Morris County chapter is opposing a double-murder charge in the Laci Peterson case, saying it could provide ammunition to the pro-life lobby.

"If this is murder, well, then any time a late-term fetus is aborted, they could call it murder," Morris County NOW President Mavra Stark said on Saturday.

Those people are pathetic.

[Clara Lou]

There are no printable words to describe NOW and the crones who run it. They are truly warped human beings.

[CAPPSMADNESS]

unbelievable...... completely and utterly unbelievable......

[KeyLargo]

In CanaDUH a fetus is NOT considered a person.

[VadeRetro]

Single-issue activists are so one-dimensional they don't cast a shadow.

I read the original article a few minutes ago. Although their crapola was expected it still outraged me.

NOW: On the fast track to irrelevance.

[MizSterious]

Looks like they just couldn't pass up a chance to insert their agenda into this very tragic case. On Easter weekend, no less. For shame.

[unixfox]

Wouldn't it be nice if a jury of 12 patriots decided that the murder of an unborn child is just that?

Kinda like giving the finger to the Supreme Court. I like that.

I knew this would be coming up....I knew it. They are disgusting, immoral, evil people.

If there was really any doubt before, this move by NOW proves that they are not pro-choice, but pro-abortion. It fact, this goes even farther; they are pro-murder.

NOW this. They say string him up but not on the baby's account. God made it as plain as he could, by delivering that baby to the shore ahead of his mother, that he wants that baby spoken for.

There will be a real contradiction if the death penalty is applied. The Supreme Court has implied in its capital-punishment cases that capital punishment is only constitutional for murder. If killing a fetus is not killing a human being, it would be unconstitutional in this case. But the Supreme Court has held in its abortion opinions that a fetus is not a person for legal purposes.

So, as far as NOW is concerned, if some guy wants his girlfriend to have an abortion and she doesn't, he can just knock her out, perform a C section himself, murder the baby, and not be charged for murder! Now that's the kind of "civil" society we want to live in!

[Bogey]

NOW might as well get on the plane to Iraq with Saradon, Robbins etc.
This case makes the vast majority of americans sick to our stomach.
I would have to hope that the politico's that have supported these idiots have to be cringing today.

"I'd like to see them string him up," Stark said, "any way they can."

Only not the only way they legally can, under California law. Maybe she wants a lynching.

Stark said that despite her opposition to the double-murder charge, she is not sympathetic to Scott Peterson. "I'd like to see them string him up," Stark said, "any way they can."
==============================

Apparently she doesn't mean "any way..." If she did, she would applaud this way because it is the only way in California for the death penalty to apply.

"If this is murder, well, then any time a late-term fetus is aborted, they could call it murder,"

What the hell else could you call it?
