A story just blew my mind and so I’m reporting it here: ALBANY, Ga. (AP) — A south Georgia woman has been charged with malice murder in the death of a 5 1/2-month-old fetus she delivered after taking an abortion pill. WALB-TV (http://bit.ly/1Irtzju ) reports 23-year-old Kenlissa Jones took a Cytotec abortion pill she purchased on the Internet and delivered the fetus Saturday night. A neighbor drove Jones to the hospital, but she delivered the baby boy in the car. Officials said the boy died after about half an hour at the hospital. Jones was arrested and taken to the Dougherty County Jail. Dougherty County District Attorney Greg Edwards said the case will likely go before a grand jury. He said Georgia and federal laws will need to be explored. Under Georgia law, no abortions are authorized after the first trimester except in medical facilities.

I use the term “Right to Life” in the title as an attention getter. Anyone who considers themselves supporting the political (not religious) ideal of RTL is a hypocrite and insincere. Sorry if that is a harsh judgment but the fact is this whole movement was created by religious zealots, whose real purpose is to destroy the Constitution’s separation of Church and State. It was supported by many corporate Republican’s seeking votes as well. I wrote about the background of RTL in “The Specious Roots of the Anti-Abortion Movement” and the fact that “I Believe in Abortion”. The idea that this woman is being charged with murder seems insane to me, What do you think?
