huh?

So I came across a news story today that is quite disturbing. The following post is not for the faint-hearted.

A lady in Texas has said that the devil made here kill her 3 1/2 week old baby. She decapitated her son and proceeded to eat some of the brains and mutilate other body parts before stabbing herself and slitting her throat. She survived and is being held on a $1M bond. She will be charged with capital murder. She will proabbly plead insanity at the time and get off with some jail time.

This story really shocks me. First of all, this lady is a whacko. Something has to be going on inside of her head. Drugs, mental illness, whatever. I know that something is wrong with her.

Now here is where my true shock/disgust with this story comes in. What if this had been 6 months and 3 1/2 weeks ago? She could have gotten an abortion. She could have willingly killed a child that was being develpoed in her womb. The doctor would have helped with the murder. It might have even been covered on insurance (I do not know where insurances stand on this. I am just speculating). She would have been able to go home afterwards and lead a somewhat normal life soon thereafter.

Now she is a murderer being held on $1M bond and will suffer the consequences of her actions. If this "scenario" would have happened 6 months and 3 1/2 weeks ago, she would be able to walk out of the doctor's office free and go home.

What is wrong with this picture?
