Yes, it is suspected she was raped, many many times

Suspected ?! Is there any other possibility for a deaf, retarded woman with the intelligence of a 4 year old?

The woman didnt ask for this baby, it was the result of an assault on her person. Disagree with the mother's understanding of reality, if you like, but demonizing her for putting her daughter's life first is really beyond the pale, IMO.

Yes, that is what the AP articles say again and again. "Suspected." It's a quote.

I didn't demonize her in this post. I did in another thread, and apologized for using such harsh, despicable language like "wench."

I don't apologize for believing, since she referred to the baby as her "grandchild" after listening to its heartbeat, that she should and could have chosen to allow the baby to continue living as it was already 24 weeks old (6 months), and didn't need to be killed, as it was developing normally. The doctors themselves first cancelled the scheduled abortion, due to the baby developing normally and the mother's health not being in any immediate danger. They were overruled by the mother and the court.

They took DNA samples from that 24-week-old blob of inert tissue?? You mean it had it's own DNA??? Wouldn't that make that blob of tissue an individual? I'm so confused.

She had her 6 month old grandchild legally murdered. The child could have been delivered and adopted.

We are a society of barbarians.
