What does infantcide and driving 56 in a 55 have in common?

A ticket.
Back in April of 2006, a Chicago suburban mother was charged with murder when she shook her 3 month old baby to death.
She pleaded out and was “punished” with a $500 ticket, 4 years of probation, 2 months of home confinement and free counseling. She had spent 127 days in jail after her arrest, but I have no doubt if this wasn’t an infant and it wasn’t her “possession”, people would be insulted by the lack of humanity in the message this sends. Cases like these send child advocacy back 500 years.
So, why don’t we just extend abortion rights until the end of the first year? What’s the difference? Why bother with the courts even pretending like this is a crime?

what would happen if it was one of your own would you feel the same as if it was a stranger you dont know and will never meet in person in a situation like this i dont even think the person involved knew what happened out of anger or fear anybody could do something that will huant them for the rest of thier lives sometime there is no answer to the action and i think that is why people just take thier own like in v-teck and niu
but this person face the system and accepted responsability for her action and i think that was a brave act on her part it was just left to the state to do its part “no side taken”
