Man kills newborn daughter because he couldn't afford to keep her

[DanielDeFig]

And yet nobody frowns upon abortion, even though this is exactly the same thing.

No, just no.

Why the no? At least explain your response if you say something.

A fetus has no cognitive functions and can not feel pain until after at least the 26th week, it's not the same thing as battering an infant to death with a brick.

You have no idea what that fetus might become one day. Want a cure for cancer? Well, the one who would've discovered it was aborted in the '80s, so too bad. How about the next Great American President? Whoops, that one bit the dust before it could "germinate", so no luck there.

NO. Don't you even try to use the "potential" argument. Because you're not using it properly. If you truly cared about the "potential" argument, you wouldn't stop at abortion. No. You would take the stance of the Catholic church and admit that every sexual act has the "potential" to create a person, and thus all forms of birth control should be outlawed. But even the Catholic church isn't following through properly with this argument.
Why stop at sexual acts? All sperms and all unfertilized eggs have the potential to make people. If you want to follow through properly with the "potential" argument, you should argue that its should be illegal to allow menstruations, as it is a lost potential to make a person.

"All those women had to do was to have sex. Their bodies clearly had the potential to conceive. Why didn't they? they may have just missed out on creating the next Da Vinci or Einstein. They are denying the world potential people by wasting perfectly good eggs. And where are the men? they should be fertilizing these women!"

If you truly wanted to go through with the "potential argument" THAT is what you should be saying. An if you think it's absurd, then you may realize how we see your argument. Abortion is done wile the foetus is still just a bunch of cells, with no brain or nervous system available to classify it as a living being. Once the foetus has reached the stage of brain activist, then it would be murder to abort it, but no legal abortion is done after that stage.

EDIT: This argument is also useless, as we live in a world where we already have problems with overpopulation. If we were underpopulated, your argument would still not be valid, but the argument to make as many new people would.

This man should be executed in the exact same way by three other persons...

 

[Chaza]

I can understand the fact that he couldn't keep the baby but what the fuck?!

He dropped a cinder block on it! Thats brutal and inhumane.

Seriously why not just give it up for adoption? agh stupid person is stupid.

 

[linwolf]

Poor girl...

Wouldn't it have been better just to put her up for adoption?

I read this alot, really, no. Adoption is hell for kids, usually kids that are in there, do not enjoy or remotely like it. Don't know their parents and wonder if they love them or not. Watch the movie Annie if you want to understand it a little kiddish way.

What the fuck? My mother was adopted she and her brother had a great childhood and I loved my granddad. I am appalled by you post.

 

[D-tritus Debris]

This literally made me retch...I watched A Serbian Film without retching, and this nearly made me throw up. What The FUCK is wrong with this guy?

He should be locked away for the rest of his days in a dark cell, with no working plumbing and be fed just enough bread&water not to starve...and that would still be a lenient sentence.

 

[TacticalAssassin1]

And thus why abortion should be legal everywhere...

 

[SckizoBoy]

As someone whose daughter who didn't even have the chance to live, let alone be adopted (we would've kept her, anyway), I'm completely lost for words when thinking of a coherent response other than: 'why?'... I suppose I'm sad more than angry at this.

 

[Kenjitsuka]

This has happened for as long as there are people.
And it still is common in very poor countries.

People consider it a mercy to kill it, instead of letting it slowly starve.
It still sucks that poverty is this bad in so much of the world.

 

[EternalFacepalm]

She had five different children with five different men?
Wow, she sleeps around a lot with people that don't know what a condom is.
And they're both mentally retarded. Case closed.

Also, why not adoption? Why a cinderblock?
If you're going to kill a baby, which is already fucking stupid, don't throw a cinderblock in its head twice, that's just... Wrong. Really, really wrong.

 

[Jabberwock xeno]

Does this guy even know what an orphanage is? Or a doorstep even?

I guess not.

I hate the human race sometimes.

 

[The Epicosity]

"Well at least she didn't have an abortion" i hear god say

*Sigh*

 

[Alucard788]

Even if birth control was free...

Even if abortion was legal everywhere...

There is a special place in hell for these sick bastards.

 

[silversnake4133]

Poor economic standings is no excuse to take the life of a helpless baby. If they were so impoverished that they struggled to take care of six children, why the hell would you have another one? There are such things as condoms, spermicides, birth control, etc. It's so easy now-a-days to prevent pregnancy, but I guess this never crossed their neanderthal-like brains once. She should get her tubes cut and he should probably rot in solitary confinement. But then again, prisoners are treated better than regular people, so he should just be under house arrest with every outside connection to the world (phone, television, internet, etc.) cut or taken away. And that 1-year-old boy should be taken away from them.

It's not rocket science people, if you don't want a kid, don't do the deed. It's as simple as that. Common sense.

 

[holy_secret]

I believe in abortions. I believe in the option of doing it.
But to play the devil's advocate, what is the difference between this and abortion? The kid would've died anyhow. Only difference is that it wasn't a doctor who did it.

Are you serious? A cold blooded murder is no different than a procedure, you have got to be kidding me, just picture it a newborn child just crying while some moron raises a cinder block to crush on his head, the difference is the loss of humanity no one should do that to a child, the procedure is legal and could've been done in the earlier months those people had months to plan anything and their best idea is a cinder block, think about that.

I still don't see the point. Just because it's a legal procedure doesn't take away the fact that that child was robbed of it's like. You know. Snuffed.
I'd post pictures of how aborted children look like, but I'm sure it's not allowed to have such images here.

So there is no loss of humanity if you don't have to look at the child you're killing?

 

[DannyHale09]

No it's not you fucking moron.

 

[tendaji]

This is one of the reasons that a sterilization program begins to look a better alternative before it reaches this point imho. Just watch a few episodes of Maury and it looks even better

 

[Ambient]

People in China drown their kids because of the population control laws there. Kids-especially girls- often get chucked into the nearest river they can find, because they lose a lot of shit in society if they have more than one kid.

They still do that?

 

[Abedecain]

Maybe I'm wrong but isn't adoption a thing?

I could've sworn it was...

god people can be stupid

It's a lot harder than it seems. Its no excuse, that's why people anonymously droop babies at hospitals, police stations or churches.
