The sorry state of motherhood

Another bad day for the state of American motherhood according to today's Drudge Report.

In LA, momma 1 killed her 3 month-old son in a washing machine and then set the house on fire in an apparent attempt to conceal her crime. Unfortunately for her, the fire department put out the fire too quickly and made the gruesome discovery. Witnesses described her as calm and unremorseful during her questioning by police.

Momma 2 invited her 16 year-old boyfriend to repeatedly strike her abdomen with a baseball bat until the unborn child's life was snuffed out. Inexplicably, the Michigan legislature's relevant criminal law (enacted in 1999) specifically forbids any charge against the mother irrespective of her complicity in the act (a concession to feminist pro-aborts no doubt). Alas, only the boyfriend has been charged (in juvenile court regrettably) and he's free and clear on his 21st birthday even if convicted of the heinous felony.

Perhaps tomorrow's edition of the Drudge Report will bring back the now-all-too-familiar dumpster and toilet drop-offs instead of the novel washing machine and baseball bat methods of achieving abortion in a non-abortuary setting. The gals at NOW and NARAL must be beaming with pride. Maybe they should honor these young ladies with awards recognizing their creativity. The rest of us can take consolation only in the realization of these little ones are now bouncing on Jesus' lap.
