The point is that because we sympathize with the inconvenience of having a child, it is beginning to become easier to sympathize with the disposal of a post-birth baby the same as a pre-birth baby. Do you agree with the judge that freed her, or do you believe she should have been kept in prison? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They even argued about older babies and when they were considered to have 'life'. How can God stand us? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted September 19, 2011 Share Posted September 19, 2011 Abortion is murder. Secular leftism is just another guise for Nazi style eugenics. This is the logical end of the culture of death. And because iniquity shall abound, the love of many shall wax cold. Matthew 24:12 ____________ _________ ______ ___ Sin But he that sinneth against me wrongeth his own soul: all they that hate me love death. Proverbs 8:36 And Salvation For as in Adam all die, even so in Christ shall all be made alive. 1 Corinthians 15:22 Don't Leave Earth Without Him Jesus said unto her, I am the resurrection, and the life: he that believeth in me, though he were dead, yet shall he live: John 11:25 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Read here ~~~ I was curious after reading the article nebula provided. Then I decided to do additional research, and found this more neutral reporting of the events: http://www.edmontonsun.com/2011/09/09/baby-killer-katrina-effert-walks In this news article from the Edmonton Sun, there is no mention of the judge's motivations regarding any pro-abortion law. Instead, the news article cites several other canadian infanticide cases and their respective sentences which aligned with what the judge provided in the case in question. I find it extremely interesting how spin can change the perspective of what are facts.

Good Post D-9 (+1 if I could) Being an atheist, I am afraid I forgot Jesus warning not to rush to judgement: Matthew 7 Do not judge, or you too will be judged. 2 For in the same way you judge others, you will be judged, and with the measure you use, it will be measured to you. 3 “Why do you look at the speck of sawdust in your brother’s eye and pay no attention to the plank in your own eye? 4 How can you say to your brother, ‘Let me take the speck out of your eye,’ when all the time there is a plank in your own eye? 5 You hypocrite, first take the plank out of your own eye, and then you will see clearly to remove the speck from your brother’s eye. If the woman had killed her 10 year old child, would you applaud the 3 month sentence and release? If she had killed someone else's child, would you do the same? What makes this baby's life so valueless to you? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"Of course the baby's life has value, BUT..." All I'm hearing is that the value of life has taken a back seat to convenience. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is a tragedy that the baby's life was cut so short by the very person that was supposed to nurture and protect him. This person should be imprisoned and sterilized. A child is a person and should have the same protection under the law as any other person in society. It is a travesty of the justice system that the mother served so little time in prison. At what age should a child reach before they are fully protected as a person? 2 years, 5 years, 10 years, 18 years? I can't believe we are asking that question. It wasn't too long ago that Scott Peterson was convicted of the murder of 2 people, why is Canada going backwards? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
