" It is wrong to even think that you can give birth to a child and then not take care of child. Everyone knows that if you don't want to keep a child you can always go to a local hospital and give the child up without any questions "

" Thanks for clarifying. Some draw a moral(as opposed to simply a legal) distinction between abortion and what Indra did. Legally, she could have killed her a baby a couple months previous to this. However, since she waited, it was illegal what she did. Morally, the two acts are comparable. Either way, she killed her baby. "

" Stop with the "Ifs, ands, or buts" this was an act of first degree homicide, otherwise known as MURDER! "

Willie wrote on Jul 28, 2008 11:30 PM:

" Not at all, it isn't all right, and neither is abortion but the law allows abortion, not first degree intentional homicide. "

To Willie wrote on Jul 28, 2008 3:16 PM:

" Just to make sure I understand you correctly, the only distinction you make between the two acts(what she did versus abortion) is a strictly legal distinction? In other words, if the law was changed so as this girls actions were not illegal, you would be ok with it? "

" Check out the first post-it went from there. In fact, just read all 16 or 17 posts. Sometimes issues are related to other issues. The pro-choice/pro-life argument comes into play as some allege we should not infringe on this girls right to kill her baby. Pro-life people would say no one should be allowed to make the choice to kill another. "

" How did this turn into a debate between pro-choice and pro-life??? "

Willie wrote on Jul 28, 2008 11:16 AM:

" This fetus/ baby argument has been taken to new levels. This is exactly the slippery slope pro-life people have argued about. Where do you draw the line?!! "

Willie wrote on Jul 28, 2008 11:14 AM:

" I can't believe that anyone in their right mind would think what this girl did was OK or could even defend her on any level. Conservative or liberal, nothing is right about this situation. If you want to stand behind the abortion argument, then fine, she should have aborted this baby when she had the chance legally. She LET THIS BABY STARVE!!! That constitutes and intentional ACT under the law. Blackey is a despicable person for arguing otherwise. Her defenders should join her on judgement day! "

" I believe you misunderstood the intent of planned parenthoods post. I believe the poster was attempting to be ironic by using the pro-abortion mantra in this case to show how stupid and flawed the pro-choice belief system is. I believe the poster is against abortion and against murder(actually, they are one and the same) just as you are. Just because one can't see the baby doesn't make murder by aborion any less reprehensible. A baby has still lost its life. "

" Let me guess, the both of you think she was drunk or high on some drug??? It's no surprise. "

" I said not to make it a "is pro choice right" issue only because planned parenthood asked how many "unwed" mothers healthcare I pay for or how many unwanted children I have taken in. He/She was the one implying that child should have been aborted! I was simply stating that I have paid healthcare for by paying my taxes (not just those of unwed mothers either) and that I HAVE taken care of unwanted children and I still feel abortion and murder is NOT RIGHT!! It is easier for some to abort but who murders that sweet thing that they can actually see... the one they can tell a personality. It makes it that much worse when a person has that baby in their hands.. they have gone through the entire pregnancy.. and could have gotten help and given that baby away. "

" Not sure what happened to my last post...but I wanted to add that also, paraphrasing what you said, stop acting like a babies life is less important than mine or yours just because it is killed by abortion. "

To ic wrote on Jul 25, 2008 2:37 PM:

" You are splitting hairs. Whether she had an abortion a month or 2 before, or did what she did, the end result is the same. An innocent baby died. As you said...whether by abortion or by what she did..IT IS STILL MURDER. Legal does not equal moral. "

ic wrote on Jul 25, 2008 1:25 PM:

" pro choice is not killing a living baby after delivery by starvation. Lets not make this a "is abortion right" issue! She killed that little baby. The innocent pure little person suffered and Indra listened to it and did nothing. She could have left anywhere alive, called a random number and whoever was reached would have cared for that poor little girl more than her own mother. Sad. Its a sick sick world. "

" Good, you guys may now see why the pro-life people find the pro-choice arguements so ridiculous. "

Right to choose wrote on Jul 25, 2008 7:17 AM:

" Was it ok for her to choose to not let the baby live? That baby was born alive and she did nothing and then threw the baby away like trash. That is not the right choice! "

ic wrote on Jul 24, 2008 11:49 PM:

" well lets see planned parenthood... my mother in law has taken in over 20 unwanted abused and neglected children into her home in the past 15 years and my husband and I have helped care for them. How many medical bills have I paid for unwed mothers or do you mean families on assistance? Let's see, I have been paying taxes for over 20 years so what does that add up to? What that girl (and I use that descriptive term lightly) did is STILL MURDER! Stop acting like that child's life was any less important than yours or mine just because she was only hours old. There are many families in America that would give an arm for a baby. Quit supporting murder. "

" Personal morality? By starving a child to death? She could have taken the baby to a hospital and left it with no charges to her. What you are implying is anarchy. If my personal morality tells me it's my choice to rob a bank, or shoot a neighbor I don't like, then by your standard that's okay. I don't think so. The solution is education for these young mothers so they don't have babies in the first place. Likewise for world hunger--teach people to grow food and livestock for a productive purpose. Don't just stand there and lecture. "

" Well said. Excellent point. Ironically, the same people calling for this girls head are the same ones who would have been hollering about her "right to choose" a couple months previous to this incident. Well, the end result is the same. "

" Were you guys aware that if Barack Hussein Obama had his way, what this girl did wouldn't even be a crime? He was the only Senator to speak against BAIPA(Born Alive Infant protection Act). "

Planned Parenthood wrote on Jul 24, 2008 12:02 PM:

" We should all try to refrain from imposing our personal morality on others and respect this girls right to choose. The Government should not dictate whether someone must remain a mother, and force someone to continue remain a mother against her will. For those of you out there blasting this girl: what are your solutions to the overpopulation and world hunger and unwanted children problems which are very much a reality? How many unwanted children have you taken into your home? How many medical bills have you paid for unwed mothers? The solution is simple-if you disagree with this girls choice, fine. Then simply don't make that choice for yourself. "
