A father is distraught. He found out his girlfriend killed their child.
If a person attacks a woman and through that attack her unborn child is killed, the person will be charged with murder. This is fact.1 Happened not that long ago in Texas and the man was charged with “capital murder for causing the death of Trena’s unborn child.” How old was this child, you might ask? 5 weeks old.
Back to the father whose girlfriend killed their child. This child was 5 months old when she had an abortion. She regrets her decision and he is heart-broken. His daughter was taken away from him. At this point, he wants to know a few things. Since the clinic paid for the abortion, what did they ultimately do with his daughter’s body? He also wants to know what she looked like when she was pulled from his girlfriend’s body. Work this one out. The baby was alive. Our laws indicate that it’s capital murder to kill a child in the womb… So what’s the question now???
