PLYMOUTH, MA — After seventeen hours of deliberations over the span of three days, a jury was still struggling to decide whether murder is wrong.
The deep nuances of the case delayed the decision, with jurors facing intricate legal and moral questions such as whether it’s fine to methodically strangle your own kids one by one.
“Oof. This is a toughie,” said Juror number seven, reviewing the facts of the case. “There’s so much to consider here, like if luring children down into a basement to murder them is bad. I’m really at a loss here.”
According to anonymous sources, the jury had concluded that squeezing the life out of a puppy while it desperately struggled to breathe was bad, but they were not yet sure if that applied to humans. “We are pretty confident that choking puppies to death is wrong,” said an anonymous juror. “If they are your own children, and you’re not feeling good, maybe it’s okay. We just don’t know. Agh, this is hard!”
Go here to read the rest. Most people have been surprised and alarmed at the support voiced, and excuses made, for this murderess of her children. I am not. With one of the two major parties vigorously supporting abortion up to birth as a right if not a rite, the murdering of children outside the womb is a very small step morally and logically. Sow the wind and reap the whirlwind is the Scriptural admonition which sums up our time.
The last thing they saw in this world was their mother murdering them. Jesus wept.
Hey, what do you expect? Twenty-seventh semester abortions are legal in the Commonwealth, aren’t they?
Most places in America have already decided that a woman has the power to change a “clump of cells” into a baby (and vice versa) just by virtue of what *she* decides reality is. Such cannot be taken seriously unless you grant that a woman has a special power of life and death over her own offspring. Taken seriously, it either invests secular women with supernatural ability to alter reality, or quietly acknowledges the right of a woman to kill her offspring.
Since a woman’s right to kill her own offspring is now firmly established in law, the age of the offspring is the only debatable question remaining.
The opposite of the current perversion has been seen in other times and places. Ancient Rome allowed fathers disturbing amounts of power over their own children’s continuance.
Without the acknowledgement of God, the support structure for what we assume is morality quickly dissolves into this madness. Without a real repentance as a society, expect Lindsey to be a trendsetter. Also expect your local parish to say nothing helpful on the subject.
And how about children getting to “abort” their parents? Note recent mercy murders of parents in Europe. Previously Published re deciding a parent is no longer a human person:

The following will never happen, and maybe it should not happen, but public execution by the gallows with a message to all feminists that if they murder their babies, they are next would fix this problem. Now we should not want that solution. But these godless feminists won’t be stopped except by the same method that would stop a rabid Muslim terrorist or a power-mad communist. These women are demonic and you don’t dialogue with the demonic. You crush it out of existence. That’s sad. Very sad that so many women are like this nowadays. And yes, there is a reason for my anger: my 1st spouse murdered our 2nd child. I did not get a vote in the matter. So forgive my anger if this situation makes me emotional.
Our Constitution demands equal Justice for all persons, living and dead, victim and murderer. This law is the foundation for all law. Through ignorance our law had degenerated into factional opinion, modernity or secularism or feminism; all words, our language has succumbed to corruption in meaning and purpose. Godless individuals who have usurped true authority have imposed totalitarianism and their personal hell on all through the law.
Dead people do not stop existing and their very presence in a given place brings the reality of our Constitution into practice. The hidden body of a murder victim gives law enforcement the freedom and right to intercept the secrecy and privacy of the murderer without warrant to rescue the victim. This evidence is then acceptable in a court of law. The intent was always and only to rescue the victim of murder and enforce the murder victim’s civil rights which have not been eradicated but only refined and become more pronounced.
Mothers who abort their babies to spare their children an horrible life have violated the sovereign personhood of that person. Sovereign personhood is granted by almighty God, their Creator. Sovereign personhood is not granted by the state, nor by the parent nor by any but almighty God, Himself. To murder a sovereign person is to violate God, Himself.
That is why it is called murder, or homicide. This is our Constitution, our Law of the Land, our land.
And Again, to give some individuals a freedom to kill other persons without consequences but no freedom to kill other persons to all persons in not equal Justice for all. Our Constitution calls for equal Justice for all.
When an individual kills another human being (self-defense using the attacker’s power of attorney excluded) that individual becomes a murderer… and must face the consequences… how scandalized those victims are.
LCQ, Your anger is an act of virtue. Thank God for this anger.
Without going into detail, I too was once similarly angry [had ZERO to do with my saintly wife] and it took a long long time but I reached the point of praying that all involved would be with God somehow. Someday.
“These women are demonic and you don’t dialogue with the demonic.” And so are all involved in these murders. Get near them and you can almost taste the evil. We have to pray like the Blessed Virgin Mary crushing devil heads. It’s also a good reason to try to be sinless.

“He who is not angry when there is just cause for anger is immoral. Why? Because anger looks to the good of justice. And if you can live amid injustice without anger, you are immoral as well as unjust.” ― Thomas Aquinas
The Opus Imperfectum, falsely ascribed to St. John Chrysostom): “Anger, when it has a cause, is not anger but judgment…… Consequently lack of the passion of anger is also a vice, even as the lack of movement in the will directed to punishment by the judgment of reason.
I struggle with anger. Moreso when someone I love is wronged than when I myself am wronged.
Ironically, as I have come to love better and expand the numbers that are loved, this struggle has become more difficult…
