From the link in the OP:
The Campbell County Sheriff’s Office and Commonwealth’s Attorney’s office worked unsuccessfully to get the law changed after another baby died in the county in a similar case. Emerson said they asked two delegates and one state senator to take the issue up in the General Assembly. He says the three lawmakers refused because they felt the issue was too close to the abortion issue.

It's perfectly in keeping with our crazy society, and changing the law won't change that fact.

An awful appauling law and situation. I would hope that even most pro choice folks would find this unacceptable.

Observe how little attention this case has received. Now imagine that a man killed his wife and was free because of a similar loophole. Imagine that a white man killed a person of another race and was free because of a similar loophole. Imagine that a non-Muslim killed a Muslim and was free because of a similar loophole. Pretty soon you have to face the truth that the largely pro-choice media avoids stories like this because killing a brand new baby is so much like killing an almost born baby. It is so much like their make-believe constitutional right to do any cruel and vicious thing to kill a little human before birth, up to and including sucking a baby's brains out during birth.
I'm trying to understand your point exactly: there's a huge irony in the news clip you provided. It's also something of a time bomb as well if it gets the press that it really should. There is something almost unreal in this story, but I'd like to see it dragged out into the open.
Isn't an abortion completely illegal if it's past a certain point? I would think that "live birth" would certainly qualify. This idea of [any part still remaining] is uter bullshit in my view.
Personally, I hate the whole idea myself as well. I'm not religious, but concidering the alternatives, I think that supplied safe - uhm - pregnancy termination (I don't even like the word) is a much better option. Sex ain't goin' away and neither will the terminations.
I say, drag it out and see what happens.

actually changing the law would fix the problem. because then when this sort of thing happens you get to give the crazy bitch the needle. or life in prison. i prefer the needle.

Holy crap, that's seriously messed up. The baby was born at 1am and found at 11am, so the mom just kinda chilled for ten hours with a dead baby attached to her?! Seriously creepy and seriously wrong. The loop hole should definitely be looked at and changed.

Oh yes ... I'm sure she's pro-life. :rolleyes:
How far Virginia has come since it had laws allowing one person to own another. :rolleyes:
Pure barbarism.

Obviously this was just bad wording in the law. Virginia has pretty strict rules on abortion in comparison to a lot of other states.

I do say so. It's no pro-life legislation that allowed this poorly worded law to be put into place. Tell me, wise one, who's agenda and legislation allowed it to get to this point in the first place? Fact is, you're dead wrong and now so is a newly born baby and it's killer gets off scott-free.

Please. This has nothing to do with liberalism or abortion.
Vice President
Bad wording that has already been brought up to the legislature already and they didn't do anything about it. They are, obviously, to scared of pro-choice activism costing them their jobs.
