NOW supports child murderer
I am sure you are all familiar with the story of Andrea Yates, the Texas woman who brutally drowned her children a few months ago. NOW (National Organization for Women) is denouncing her arrest and claims she needs treatment for postpartum depression, rather than punishment. One of their resolutions reads as follows:
WHEREAS, in nations such as England, women involved in situations like the Texas tragedy would most likely be in medical facilities receiving treatment, not in jails being questioned about legal strategies; as is Texas' position on the death penalty, this criminal response to women who are ill is barbaric;
THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED, that NOW affirms its long-standing opposition to the death penalty; and
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, that NOW urge the press and the law enforcement community, including the judiciary, to consider tragedies of this sort in the full context of the nature of postpartum depression; and
This is so typical of that organization. A woman systematically murders her children, and NOW vehemently supports her "depression" and need for medical attention. They do not want Yates to face the death penalty because it is inhumane and brutal. Perhaps they forget how she chased down her 7 year old son, dragged him back to the bathroom, and drowned his flailing body next to that of his dead infant sister.
Sorry for the rant...when I read this, I was absolutely sick to my stomach. It is unfortunate we live in a society that puts the rights of child killers above those of innocent children.
