They were HER children. She brought them into the world so should she have the "freedom" to take them out of it?

Horrified, of course. However, I don't see a 6 week old fetus as the same as a child.
It's a fundamental difference in point of view. I don't agree life begins at conception.
I also would have more respect for more people in the anti-choice movement if they appeared to care at all about the quality of life of children who have actually been born.
Get back to me when there are no children in this country that go hungry, when there are no children left in abusive and neglectful situations, or when there are no children in foster care waiting for families. All of those things are happening right now and I don't see nearly the level of passion from the pro-life groups about that. I think a child being bounced around the foster care system for years on end is an infinitely bigger assault on the dignity of human life than what happens to a six or eight week old fetus.

A child is its own individual person...a fetus cannot live on its own and is a part of the womans body until after quickening.
Even though the heart beats after two weeks of pregnancy and the brain and skeleton is developed after 11 weeks, the fetus is not alive until after quickening...which is 6 months.
now form you opinion based upon facts, not moral standards. also, if you are a man, form your opinions based upon your body...would you want to carry something for 9 months and be forced to do so if the child could endanger your health or the child was going to live an abnormal life of deformity?

As a pro-life advocate, and the friend and relative of MANY pro-choicers, I'll try to give an unbiased best-guess here. Until the child is born, it's not human, doesn't have a soul. Afterwards, mere seconds after the birth, it's entitled to every basic right there is.
This doesn't make sense, but try telling that to them.

It depends when you think life starts... personally I do not think something is alive until it is not living off of the mother and living on it's own since it is lving off of the mother I see it as part of her body. In my opinion it was sick what she did because those were living children.

I don't know.
Something tells me aborting a month old fetus is a bit different than drowning five growing children.

I agree. Sooner or later it will happen. I prefer sooner.

She was found insane and is in an institution. Her Husband needed to be put in jail for not taking care of her and the children.I think it was one of the saddest things that could happened.

Wouldn't happen to be another one of those "God told me to...." pleas would it?
I say hang her in public, with the child molesters, no matter who told her to do it.

She's a murderer....isn't that how you feel? Do you think she was somehow justified in doing that?
