A World Gone Mad

OK this one really gets my heart a pumping. Recently in France a woman was arrested for killing her newborns . It appears she murdered 8 , smothering them shortly after birth and then buried the bodies in her garden. The defense attorney is arguing she has birth denial . Sure and I'm a leprechaun with a pot of gold. I do grant that there are severe mental illness that can cause someone to do horrific things but really . One child perhaps , but 8 crates a pattern . Plus there is apparently no clear evidence of mental illness.

But my point is not  to get into the whole argument being vetted by her attorney .  As horrific as this crime is , if this woman had decided to terminate these pregnancies in a clinic , nothing would be said or done. In France abortions are available freely up to 12 weeks . After this it has to be shown that the mother would face physical distress or mental distress(whatever that is) , or the baby would be born in a condition that would challenge its viability. It must be signed by 2 doctors . However the drug RU-486 that causes a miscarriage , is widely used . So this woman who is no dummy had access to terminate these babies with the states consent.

The fact she chose not to , but took matters into her on hands makes her guilty of murder.But what changed about these little ones DNA that makes it murder only after they are out of the womb . Nothing . Society is a sick twisted , messed up reality. That a baby can be violently murdered in a womb but can't once he or she is out of the uterus and vaginal cavity ,to be blunt is, the height of world gone mad. 

What this woman did was wrong . It was murder no matter what her attorney tries to plead . But as far as I see it , there is no difference in what this woman did to those 8 little ones , to what Doctors do each and everyday in a clinic of death.
