- The Phoenix FOX News affiliate has the story of a woman whose child had been growing in her abdomen, outside of her uterus:
Nicollette Soto’s son weighs just 2 pounds, 14 ounces. She had what’s called a cornual pregnancy, and doctors are amazed he survived.
He was born at 9:20 a.m.
Doctors say they noticed that the baby was developing outside the uterus at 20 weeks. They offered to operate because of the complications involved, but Soto declined.
- An IL woman named Marisol Molina pleaded guilty to involuntary manslaughter after taking “at least 10 abortion pills before having a baby, then tying the still living infant in a plastic bag and leaving her in a closet ‘as if it were garbage'”:
Molina, who was 7 to 9 months pregnant, wrapped the baby in a robe and tied her in a plastic bag on Feb. 18, 2010, before hiding her in a closet in her home in the 6100 block of North Sheridan Road where the baby was discovered dead a day later….
- In Massachusetts, a woman was sentenced to 2 years in jail for killing an unborn child while beating another woman in a hair salon:
Authorities said [Ayanna] Woodhouse [pictured left] kicked and punched the other woman during an argument as other people in the salon screamed at her to stop.
The fetus was delivered by emergency Cesarean section, but did not survive. The medical examiner determined that the fetus died because the placenta became detached from the uterus.
- Research shows that Indian couples are increasingly using sex-selection abortion to abort daughters in second pregnancies if their first child was a girl:
The study found that, from 1990 to 2005, the “sex ratio” of first-born female children in India did not change significantly nor differ from what was biologically expected. (In 1990, it was 943 girls per 1,000 boys, and in 2005 it was 966). However, in families whose first-born was a girl, the incidence of the second-born being a girl fell almost steadily over that period, from 906 per 1,000 boys in 1990 to 836 in 2005.
During the period, the trend increased among families in which the mother had 10 or more years of education but did not change in families in which the mother had no education. The sex ratio fell especially sharply in the richest 20 percent of households…. The findings were the same in both Hindu and Muslim households.
The most extreme decline in the probability of having a girl occurred in families in which the first 2 children were girls. In that case, the ratio of girls to boys in the third-born child was 768 to 1,000 in 2006. This came at a time when the average family size in India was 2.6 children – a huge reduction from earlier generations.

Involuntary???? How do you involuntarily wrap someone in a robe and bag and throw them in a closet??? Did she trip and accidentally swallow 10+ abortion pills???? How does someone get that many all at once? Did they rain down out of the sky and she thought they were candy???? Seriously. Maybe I don’t understand the word involuntary. According to the law does involuntary also mean voluntary?
What? I mean to get ahold of that many pills, one has to have some idea of what they plan to do with them. They don’t come out of candy dispensers. You do have to actually do something, try, to get them. And when taking them you must have some understanding of what the result is you are going for. And to wrap a living infant in a bag……… I mean, unless she’s seriously mentally disabled, like with the mentality of a 2yr old, there’s no way she wouldn’t understand that that would kill the baby. So……… where’s the involuntary???????
This is just some sick twisted limp attempt to protect the sacred cow abortion. I mean, she used abortion pills and killed her baby. VOLUNTARILY. Can’t imply that was bad now can we? Oh nooooooo. Nevermind that the baby survived the abortion (right Obama?). Nevermind that she was alive and breathing. Whatever. Mom wanted her kid dead and she’s dead. Abortion successful. Why even attempt this weak charade of “justice”??? This really burns me up >:(
Why did we even prosecute that mom who drowned her 5 kids? Why did we even have a problem with that mom who strapped her 2 kids into a sinking car? Why do they even pretend? Mom wants her kid dead. Who are we to judge? Right? Mom wants it, that makes it necessary. Right Doug? We don’t know her myriad of situations, feelings, economic situation…. wah wah wah. I’m sick of all this pretense. Let’s be all equal rights about it too. That “dad” who beat his 18mo son to death for not being “manly enough”? Whatever! He had his reasons right? That makes it necessary! The dad who beat his baby to death for interrupting his halo game? Hey, he had his priorities straight. He would never have achieved his goals had he taken time out for a kid! Let ’em out! Open the cell doors! We’re imposing our morality on them! We’re enforcing the 6th commandment on their bodies! How dare we shove our religion into their faces! Let ’em out! Whatever!
And why stop there? Abolish government! The judicial system! Fire all the lawyers! Fire the cops! Everyone’s morality is different! Who are we to impose some blanket rule when there are so many different situations??? Whatever! I mean if we aren’t willing to protect even the youngest most defenseless members of our society from these torturous horrific abuses and deaths, why do we even pretend to care about anyone elses “rights” or whatever?
Give it up. Stop pretending. I’m sick of the self-righteous hypocrisy judging who’s worthy of basic human rights and who isn’t while calling those who try to protect ALL lives involved “self-righteous hypocrites”.
“Well you’re too dependent on others so you have to die.”
“Oh, that country is Muslim so we can’t say anything about their rampant oppression and abuse of women! We can’t judge another person’s religious practices……. UNLESS THEY’RE THOSE BIGOTED CHRIIIIISTIANS!!!”
“Oh! You’re trying to hand a woman a pamphlet explaining basic human development so she can be informed before making a deadly decision? HARASSMENT! TERRORIST! HATER!”
“China’s oppressive one child policy? No right to ‘choose’ you say? Forced abortion? Forced sterilization? Murdering ‘illegal’ children up to 2yrs old? Oh, well, at least they are doing something about population problems, what about OUR economy?”
“Why do you care about genocide and holocausts when there are people spending beyond their means and having their homes foreclosed?? What about our economy and unproven global warming?”
I mean seriously!!!! No logic!!! No thinking!!!! I’m so sick of this. [/end rant]
INVOLUNTARY MANSLAUGHTER???
Where is the involuntary part of that story??
ChristianHippie – personally, I liked your rant. All I can say is, “ditto.”
I heard about this “baby in a bag in a closet” story on my way in to work today and was disgusted. Shame on that woman! My heart just grieved for this poor baby.
The Christian Hippie: Involuntary?
Well, obviously the prosecutor did some plea-bargaining. Other than that, yeah, I agree.
Well said, ChristianHippie!
