Orangeburg, South Carolina is my husband’s hometown, and where we lived for several years. This week, Orangeburg made national headlines when a mother – woman – killed her two children with her bare hands, strapped them into their carseats and rolled the car down a boat launch at the Edisto River.
Larry Williams, Sheriff in Orangeburg, makes excuses for this woman every time he is in front of a camera: she was overwhelmed; she was unemployed; her mother was very strict; she needed her freedom. Excuse me Sheriff, there is NO EXCUSE for this! I wonder if he would be making these excuses if the woman had been white?
The bottom line is, no matter how overwhelmed or tired a parent becomes, there is (obviously) no excuse for murdering your children! As I listened to the news report this morning about how this woman killed her children, I looked at my own hands and my precious little girl and could not imagine how anyone could do that to another human being, let alone their own child.
The media is reporting that about 200 children are murdered by their own mothers each year in the United States. Unfortunately, they are failing to report the hundreds of thousands of little ones that mothers are choosing to kill or have killed before they are ever born.
Wrong in every way.

So sad.
How can you not love your own children? I can’t imagine having that kind of heart. These couples are actually suing because their children were born:

Karen – “wrongful birth”? That is so sad. Parents who in one moment say they love their child, but then say if they’d known they had imperfections they would have killed them before they were born. Total depravity.
