Investigators say that ten minutes after giving birth to her daughter in an on-campus apartment a year ago, 19-year-old Terri Rhodes of Michigan suffocated the child, wrapped her in a garbage bag and left her body in the shower.  Sounds like murder, yes?

What's interesting here is the conviction for which she pleaded guilty: voluntary manslaughter, a first-degree felony for the unlawful killing committed with serious provocation. This plea bargain carries 20-40 years in prison. Had she pleaded not guilty she would have faced a longer sentence with several other charges including first-degree murder. 

In their investigation police found evidence that Rhodes searched the internet in the days before her daughter's birth for information on how to terminate a pregnancy, which raised some questions of whether her child's murder was premeditated.

Do you think research on abortion is evidence of premeditated felony-one murder if when a woman kills her child in the moments after birth? If so, wouldn't that point to something being wrong with abortion itself, just as we have been saying for years?

We read another story out of Florence, Alabama, where a woman succeeded in killing her preborn child by severing the umbilical cord. In this case, the woman was charged with manslaughter as well. This brings up some serious questions about when a preborn child's life is protected that can be only answered with one reasonable answer: Always! ( LINK )
