Where's the line? Murder or... murder?


This morning, the large news outlets are reporting a shocking story. A woman, Tiffany Hall, has been arressted after brutally murdering a woman and her unborn child. She killed the woman by forcefully cutting her unborn child (of 7 months) from her womb, effectively killing the child also. The official charge is intentional homicide of an unborn child.

Wait a second, what?

The official charge is intentional homicide of an unborn child.

Whoa. Okay, I must be reading something wrong because last I checked "intentional homicide of an unborn child" takes place thousands of times a day in this country legally. It's called abortion. The only difference is that the mother of the child is killing her unborn child instead of someone else.

So where's the line?

When is it not murder to kill an unborn child? Obviously what Ms. Hall did is horrible and I'm not in anyway trying to minimize it, but there's a huge issue of common sense here. God gave us reason, let's use it, why aren't we? If it's murder when someone else kills your unborn baby forcefully, why isn't it murder when a woman gives consent for someone to kill her unborn baby (abortion)?

The answer... it is.

It's a shame we live in a "culture" of "intellectuals" who either have no common sense or can't put one and one together.

Tiffany Hall has also been connected with the murders of three more children. This is a horrible travesty. Please pray for her soul and those she has killed and affected by her actions. Also, pray for the millions of mothers who have had abortions, may their souls reach heaven and be reunited with the children they never knew.
