(Not so) unbelievable

A depressing story that highlights our strange sense of national outrage regarding abortion. A 23 week old child filled her lungs with air and was subsequently killed and tossed in the garbage. There is outrage because this happened outside the womb. If the "malpractice" of leaving the mother dilated and unattended had not occurred, this would have just been business as usual. The AP would not have carried a story about a "successful" abortion though the same baby would have ended up in the same trash.

"I don't care what your politics are, what your morals are, this should not be happening in our community," said Tom Pennekamp, a Miami attorney representing Williams in her lawsuit against Renelique and the clinic owners.


Of course is does indeed matter what your morals are, and these morals should influence your politics on this topic.
