All things considered the risk of maternal death from RU-486 is about 1/100 the risk of childbirth, and about 1/15 that of taking aspirin. So much for the hysteria of organizations like American Life League, Concerned Women for America and Focus on the Family.

You know what is sad? We got all these wannabe “pious” bible thumpers in here that want to throw that first stone, Christi. But Let me point out the sad truth. Alot of them are judgemental because of their own sins. How many “christians” in here had sex before marraige? How many “christians” in here got pregnant before marraige? how many “christians” in here are with someone a little less “devout” than you are? If you have committed these sins, than you need to shuttup with the criticism. I will be straight up. I had sex before marraige, got my wife pregnant before we were married, and she is wiccan. What now? But oh wait, I’m not the one passing harsh judgement saying this woman deserved what she got. Ya’ll need to reavaluate the things that you say because in the future, you may have to cross those bridges that you burned today. And you’re going to have to live with the things you say. So go ahead. Keep it up. You won’t outrun what is waiting in your future.

It seems to me that those who are afraid of judgments of ANY KIND are fighting a guilty conscience.

Those of you who EDIT scripture to partial quotes omitting the rest of that scripture or the balance of the issue as scripture gives it only do so to comfort yourselves from the fear of the FULL TRUTH AND IT’S RECOMPENCEING MEANING IT HAS FOR YOU.

THE JUDGE CONDEMNS THE GUILTY PERSON TO PUNISHMENT WHILE IT IS THE JURY THAT FINDS THE VERDICT OF WHETHER OR NOT GUILT APPLIES AND TO WHAT DEGREEE THAT APPLICATION IS.

I FIND THIS PERSON GUILTY OF MURDER IN THE FIRST DEGREE AND THAT DUE TO THE PARTICULAR HEINIOUS ASPECTS OF THE CRIME, TO WIT; THE VICTIM WAS SO YOUNG AND DEFENSLESS AS WELL AS THE POSITION OF TRUST OF THE ATTACKER.

I FIND THAT EXTENUATING CIRCUMSTANCES DO EXIST AND THUS THE DEATH PENALTY DOES APPLY.

I BELIEVE THE JUDGE HAS ALREADY SPOKEN THE SENTENCE.

Laura and anyone else wondering why Fox is reporting the story now. It appears the inquest was just held and these were the findings. Read and comprehend….

Sad story, regardless, on many levels.

I have read through many of the comments. So many attack the choice of abortion, the choice of method and the choice of inter-faith relationships.

My questiona are very simple. Who are we to judge them? Which wants to throw the first stone? Who has not done something that if brought under public scrutiny would earn the same type responses? If religion was removed from this would everyone care as much? If the subject was not abortion would you be as outraged over another’s death?

Whether her decision was right or wrong is between her and God. We can all learn from this in one way or the other. Let’s try to.

Before everyone attacks the choice of abortion or the method to find fault, one also has to wonder if she was up front with the health care workers when she went in for treatment.

Did she tell them about the pills or pregnancy? Or were they too busy to hear her answers?

It is unfortunate.

1) She had premarital sex, and if a Christian, she should not have.
2) As a Christian, she should not have had an abortion, if she was such a believer. Don’t blame the pill, blame her choice.
3) The pill has saved many unwanted children lives of neglect, abuse and poverty. So many sad children, so many damaged adults because they did not have good upbringing.
4) This is still a safe alternative if a woman opts for abortion. I imagine she did not disclose that she took the pills when she went to the hospital for care.
5) What about men? It’s not usually women who are the ones pressuring for premarital sex, it is the men. If you want to place blame, blame her so called boyfriend.
6) I am sad for the young woman and her family. Until MEN are made liable and accountable for pressuring young girls into sex, this type of thing will happen. It’s HIS fault. And sadly, a bad choice on her part.

Sad story, young woman, lost life. All around a mess. But, the option should still be there.
Life is messy, people are young, they have no money, and don’t want to give their babes up for adoption because of complex reasons. Many women will be abused if they give birth. Many won’t have medical care. It’s not THAT simple, folks. And, I’m a very conservative person!

Eye for an eye.
Tooth for a tooth.

Life for a life.

She made a choice. She lived (and then died) as a consequence.
