"A woman was charged with abuse of a corpse Thursday after police found the remains of a baby in her freezer," the Associated Press reports from Pittsburgh:
Police charged Christine Hutchinson, 22, of Pittsburgh, after interviewing her Thursday evening, several hours after the remains were found in her apartment.
Officers got a tip from someone who knew Hutchinson that there was "possibly a baby that was dead and was in a freezer in an apartment in Bloomfield," a working-class neighborhood several miles east of downtown, Pittsburgh police Cmdr. Thomas Stangrecki said.
Detectives found what initially appeared to be a late-term fetus in a brown bag in the freezer, police said, though it wasn't immediately clear whether the remains resulted from a miscarriage, late-term abortion or a death shortly after birth.
But later, Lt. Daniel Herrmann said the abuse of a corpse charge applies only to human beings. Under the law, he said, a fetus is not considered a human being.

Two questions: First, how can it be a "fetus" if it's in frigo rather than in utero? Second, if it's "abuse of a corpse" to stick it in the freezer, how is that worse than taking it to the coroner's office to slice it up?

Will Planned Parenthood present her an award in jail, or wait until she’s released so that they can throw her an awards banquet?
Agreed. All the pro-abortion people explain that question.

I guess they just can’t comprehend that God is watching.
Since when do asshole cops decide what and whom to charge with anything?
Feminists love them some dead babies.
It’s actually a fair and balanced shot at one cop in particular.
Herrmann is not bright enough to speak to the press ... there is only a fetus so long as the child is in utero. Herrmann is a dead soul talkin’ ... he wants the child dehumanized so he does it, ignorantly, but he does it boldly.
