Sickening...

"The parents of the teens apparently did not know of the pregnancy until the miscarriage occurred, police said."

Way to keep track of your 16-year-old.

Laci and Connor's Law...

...time to hold murderers accountable.

[NYer]

So much for Planned Parenthood Programs, free condoms in the schools, et al. Just use a 'decorative' baseball bat.

Pro-life ping!

Smith said the male youth -- with the consent of the mother -- hit the pregnant teen in the abdomen with a decorative-type wooden baseball bat every other day for three weeks.

...

The 16-year-old boy may also avoid charges because his actions appear to have been consensual, the station reported.

Who is dumber, the cops or the reporter?

The parents should have been Darwin Prize winners. And they didn't even consider giving the baby up for adoption, although the unsuspecting adoptive parents would have been given the baby of two absolute idiots.

Sounds like these two should get an award from their local NARAL chapter. Perhaps they could arrange a high-school assembly to present it.

[DesignerChick]

This is EVIL.....

> Who is dumber, the cops or the reporter?

Huh? The teen almost-parents agreed to the unusual abortion method. The teen-almost-mom's parents were, somehow, unaware of her pregnancy. As far as I know, it's legal to pound on someone, so long as they agree with it... otherwise every boxign match would end with a raid.

[paladinan]

Right on...

[Darth Reagan]

All perfectly legal. Nothing to see here. Move along.

Besides, most fetuses that have been beaten with a baseball bat are nonviable. A win-win for the mom and dad, no?

[animoveritas]

Dominus nos benedicat.

[ashtanga]

In a cosmos in which sexual freedom replaces self-restraint....

[null and void]

I read it to mean with the concent of the would be mother.

IOW, not the teenager's mother, but the pregnant teenager herself...

[Protagoras]

Murder, fry 'em up.

[agrace]

Who is dumber, the cops or the reporter?

Actually the prosecutor, because he said

"If it's a nonviable fetus, then we're talking about the destruction of an embryo and … in that case you can't charge the woman with it," said Smith.

Uh dude, it stopped being an embryo a long time ago.

Unless of course the reporter misquoted him, in which case that makes the reporter the dumbest, hands down.

-- hit the pregnant teen in the abdomen with a decorative-type wooden baseball bat every other day for three weeks.

Might want to check into reading glasses, mkay?

"Mother" being the teen getting whacked in the belly, yes?

[hopespringseternal]

Smith said the male youth -- with the consent of the mother -- hit the pregnant teen in the abdomen with a decorative-type wooden baseball bat every other day for three weeks.

Makes no sense in the context of the sentence (mother - teen) or the story (mother-child mass of tissue). If that is the reporter's meaning, he is the idiot.
