I'd like to address Benjamin's post where he talked about the woman who used cocaine and ended up putting her baby's life on the line as a result. Tell me why Scott Peterson should be charged with the murder of his wife and his baby. Sure, charge him with the murder of his wife but why charge him with the murder of the fetus? The baby was unborn and according to you liberals, a baby has a dependent nervous system and is technically "Not a living being" -- after all that is why abortion is legal -- because you're just shoving a cold rod through an "object's" brain, right? Ever heard of third trimester abortions? They actually do a C-section on a pregnant woman, take the baby out, snip the cord, and then they shove a sharp metal rod through the baby's head. Sounds like something out of a horror sci-fi movie, huh? It's called abortion, folks! And it's legal in the great U.S.A.! It's a contradiction in the laws to me. You charge a criminal who kills a pregnant woman and the fetus dies as a result. You charge him with double homicide. Now a woman walks into a "Kill your baby here" clinic and she tells the doctor she wants the daily special (an abortion) and she walks out scotch free (except if she has a conscience, she'll have the baby's death on her mind for the rest of her life) and that's all good.

The ACLU is defending this woman's right to choose. They are defending her right to choose to do cocaine while pregnant. They are defending her right to choose to harm her baby. She has a legal responsibility to protect the living thing inside her. Yet the ACLU is fighting for a legal system that allows women to kill or harm their babies? Wow. How does any member of the ACLU live with theirselves knowing they believe that a mother has the right to kill her own baby if she chooses; just because she doesn't want a baby? But they jump on another track going a different way and scream "it's murdahh" when a violent criminal is put down? I'm sorry if I don't understand this. Maybe I need to lower my sense of morality down to a sociopath's to see why this is okay. You put a baby next to a big violent criminal who killed 12 people in the early 90's and is telling people that he'll kill again if he gets the chance and who would I pick to get that cold rod shoved down their brainstem? Well we all know the ACLU would be yelling out "the baby! the baby!" right now. The ACLU. Killing babies and protecting serial killers since 1920!
