Houston Mom Shielded Unborn Baby while Stabbed to Death

By Kathleen Gilbert

HOUSTON, October 4, 2010 (LifeSiteNews.com) - The mother of a pregnant young woman who was stabbed to death in Texas last month said that her daughter shielded her unborn child under a hail of stabs from a butcher’s knife.

The Houston Chronicle reported last week that Leiah Jackson, 27, and her unborn child were killed in an attack September 26 by an unidentified individual. Jackson's boyfriend, Yancey Daniels, was shot and killed about half an hour before Leiah was attacked.

Leiah had managed to reach her mother's adjacent home after the attack, but died shortly thereafter. She was 8 1/2 months pregnant.

Leiah’s mother told the newspaper that Leiah had turned her body to protect her baby, exposing her back and arm to the deadly blows.

"She took all those stab wounds trying to protect another human being — not trying to protect herself — trying to protect her child," said Pamela Jackson.

Police have questioned persons of interest, but no one is reported to have been charged with the crime.

How could you have a crime this vicious and no one arrested yet?

With the boyfriend being killed, clearly it is someone who knew them both, sounds like a jealousy killing.

I am not sure if you mean Peter SINGER (with an "i"), the Australian bioethics guy now at Princeton (the Animal Liberation, pro-human-abortion advocate), or if you mean Alexander SANGER (with an "a"), who was Margaret Sanger's son and president of the Margaret Sanger Center and Planned Parenthood International.

Both ugly pieces of work.

I said the exact same thing when I showed the video to my husband.

The poor hostess tried to talk over her and the freak wouldn’t shut up.

I’m sure the Liberals will be out in force making sure she didn’t cause injury or insult to her attacker.

You think Im joking? I’ll just bet a good caring Leftist comes out defending this POS! This is what the Left does!

No, Margaret Sanger was a eugenicist. Peter Singer is the infanticide monster.

Thanks but that’s way too broad. I was hoping somebody might know names. I have Singer’s name, but wondered who else out in academia is singing the same tune.

Look for a woman to have done this — former girlfriend or ex-wife of baby’s dad.

At first glance, it does however the bf's death sounds more like drug related. Strange, they both weren't killed in the same manner as one would assume if by the same person.

The disparity in the manner of deaths, if it was indeed the same person, indicates the former girlfriend angle. The sheer savagery of the attack indicates a very personal motive behind it, and the extraordinary defense of the unborn child indicates what that motive might have been.

Was the perpetrator of crime #1 the same a crime # 2? The odds figure a single perpetrator, I don't believe in "coinky-dink"...
