That's one of the weaknesses of law - WHO cares about killing babies? After all - that was only a "Later Term Abortion".

"That's one of the weaknesses of law - WHO cares about killing babies? After all - that was only a "Later Term Abortion"."

Look, whether or not the kids were killed is not the issue; the issue is what was the intent of the killer? People who kill through recklessness or negligence are not charged with first degree murder, which requires intent to kill, they are charged with manslaughter. It is not a weakness in the law; we have decided that negligent or reckless killings do not merit the same punishment as an intentional killing. This concept is not new; it has been recognized at common law for almost one thousand years.
