One Life or Two II
(See November 5, 2005 for One Life or Two, and def. check the comments from that post; I'm okay with the name-calling.)
From the April 24, 2006 Boston Globe:
Woman, unborn child die in crash
Man arrested on charges of drunken driving
By Adrienne P. Samuels, Globe Staff April 24, 2006
Name Deleted, 21, eight months pregnant, was killed Saturday when she was hit head-on by an alleged drunk driver who crossed the center strip on Route 62 in Lancaster, police said.
The unborn baby, already named James Jr., also died, although paramedics and doctors tried to keep oxygen inside of Name Deleted's body to buy time for doctors to perform an emergency Caesarian section at nearby Clinton Hospital.
By the time family arrived, around 2 a.m. yesterday, someone had cleaned and placed the deceased child in Name Deleted's still arms.
''She just wanted to be a mom," said Name Deleted of Leominster, one of her aunts. ''To see her in that hospital with that baby last night was just unbelievable, and her baby was so beautiful. He was gorgeous. . . . The guy who did this to her will be arraigned, and we're going to go to that courthouse. I want to put a face to who did this."
Police say David E. Zoller (oops!, name not deleted), 33, of Littleton, is responsible for Name Deleted's death.
On Saturday, Zoller was arrested and charged with two counts of vehicular manslaughter while under the influence of alcohol, failure to stay in marked lanes, and failure to keep on the right side of the road. He was being held on a $50,000 bail and is scheduled to be arraigned today at Clinton District Court.
Lancaster Police said Zoller was traveling east on Route 62 around 6:15 p.m. when he crossed the center line, placing him into a nearly head-on collision course with the truck Name Deleted was riding in. (Article truncated; it does continue, but I'll spare you the rest; it's primarily family members describing the impending joy that is now replaced by immeasurable pain.)
Hopefully not lost on the reader is that Zoller is charged with two counts of vehicular manslaughter. Yes, of course, I agree with this, but the second charge for the unborn baby is grotesque pandering given the "abortion on demand" rights that woman have in the state of Massachusetts. Again, if Name Deleted was on her way to the abortorium for a partial-birth abortion, there is no law in Massachusetts to stop her. NARAL, NOW, Planned Childlessness and other pro-abortion supporters would all stand next to Name Deleted and say she had a constitutional right to kill the "fetus" (and those of us that didn't think so would be labeled extremists!).
James Jr. was most definitely innocent human life; he simply is not defined as such only because his mother and father wanted him.
If you didn't go back to my November 5, 2005 post, please do; it is quite short and I cannot add to the argument I made in that post with anything more here.

Oh my, November 5 was certainly a lively exchange! However, Zacklyright has this one nailed down. Anyone who doesn't get his point must have their head buried in the sand (or the NOW handbook)."Conscience", where are you? Surely, you must have something to say about all of this.
Right-of-Center, I appreciate your comments. No need for Conscience to chime in because he/she will def. follow the logic.
And, the logic one more time: an eight-month pregnant woman is driving down the road; she comes to a fork; left is the abortorium and right is the hospital. The decision this woman makes at the fork does not define what is in her tummy. My goodness, if such woman had this kind of immense power, turning non-human life into human life, surely they could change a simple piece of paper into a hundred dollar bill? Water into beer? Oh, no, even better (not from a beverage preference point but from a figurative and provocative point), water into wine?
