So? While medical science is miraculous these days, it still has
nothing
to do with "killing babies in the womb". I suppose we could use your
examples of modern science, and say that medical technology hasn't
changed just like the gasoline engine hasn't changed, but that would
be
silly. Truth be, if left to NATURAL cause and affect, your daughter
probably wouldn't have made it.

Interesting situation in Ohio with Ariel Castro. According to the
police reports he raped the girls he held and at least one became
pregnant. The reports allege that he starved the victim for several
weeks and repeatedly hit her in the stomach until she had a
miscarriage. Ohio law considers a fetus to be a human being, making
him
eligible for the death penalty if convicted.


I'm not a defense attorney, but if I were, I would advise Mr. Castro
to
cop a plea that might get him life in prison without parole. The
prosecutor says he is going to try to get the death penalty for the
miscarriages, as you say, but I wonder if even the right-wingers on
the
U.S. Supreme Court will uphold such a sentence.

Yeah. I am not a death penalty advocate because it bothers me to
think of how many innocent people may have been executed over the
years.

In this case though, my initial thought was execution by the slowest
and most painful means possible. But it might be better for him to be
sentenced to life but with no provisions to be held in a separate
facility in protective confinement. Let him live with the rest of
the hard core inmates. They don't take too kindly to his kind of
criminal activity. I'd give him a year, at best, to survive.
