Caught a blurb of our local, evening news. A teenage girl, who was also pregnant, was murdered. Police are calling this a ‘double homicide.’
In light of our current abortion laws and statistics, I’m wondering how this is possible.

This is not new. California was very close to trying Scott Peterson for double murder.

No, indeed, it is not new. Which is why I think it strikes a nerve for me every single time.

Terrible as it is to kill a teenaged girl whose condition may have rendered her less able to defend herself, they should not be calling it a double homicide.
That being said, if the police feel outraged and sympathetic toward the unborn victim as well as the definite one, we should accept that and not assume that they're trying to make a statement about abortion. They're only doing their jobs.

Back in the early nineties Rush had a news item on his show about a Pacific(I think) fisherman who was being fined a couple hundred thousand dollars for causing the the miscarriage of a mother whale by the state of California. His commentary, obviously, was focused on comparing how insanely unbalanced our treatment of human motherhood and the accidental miscarriage of an animal fetus highlights how out-of-whack our society's values have become(and that was the nineties).

Any expression of sympathy towards an unborn infant is, intentionally or not, a statement about abortion, since the pro-abortion philosophy is that unborn infants are so unimportant that they can be massacred on an industrial scale for no other reason than people's lack of self control.

I thought everyone knew--babies only count if the mother 'wants' them. Otherwise, they are just a blob of tissue, right?
