CULTURE of DEATH:Case Raises Legality of Do-It-Yourself Abortions

The prosecution of a Maryland woman for causing the death of a “viable fetus” last week has led to more grisly discoveries and an ethical dilemma for the abortion movement.Christy Freeman,37, of Ocean City,Md.,has been charged with murder in the death of a preborn son,estimated at 26 weeks,whose remains were found under her bathroom sink.Police suspected Freeman,who showed up at a hospital with heavy bleeding and telltale signs ofchildbirth, had performed a “self-induced abortion.”They searched her property and found the remains of three other preterm babies.
Prosecutors say they intend to use the case to test a 2005 Maryland law that could be interpreted to exempt the expectant mother in such a case. In an opinion piece posted at Townhall.com, Jon Sanders,policy analyst and research editor at the John Locke Foundation, wrote,“It would be logically and morally untenable for the state to hold simultaneously that it is murder for someone to kill a woman’s unborn child,but A-OK for the woman to kill it herself.”
