That is the most fucked up thing I've read about in a long time. Whatever punishment he gets isn't enough.

Did you read the article?

A northeastern Pennsylvania man was arrested and charged with killing his newborn daughter by dropping a cinderblock on her head because he and his girlfriend couldn?t afford another child.

According to police, Christopher Fitzpatrick?s girlfriend began experiencing labor pains while the couple and Fitzpatrick?s 11-year-old sister were inside a grocery store on May 28.

?Have this f*cking baby,? Mr. Fitzpatrick, 20, allegedly told Jennifer A. Barrise, 28. ?I just want to get rid of it. I gotta do what I gotta do.? Barrise asked him twice if he intended to kill their baby, but she never received a response.

The three returned to their car in the parking lot of the grocery store where Barrise gave birth to an apparently healthy baby girl, who landed on the floor of the car. None of the three touched the crying baby.

Later that day, Fitzpatrick took the baby to his job, a lawn care business, where he dropped a cinderblock twice on the baby?s head. Fitzpatrick and Barrise already had a 1-year-old boy together. She reportedly had 5 other children by different men.
OT: This man is scum.

I am sickened and horrified. If they couldn't afford a child then the answer is simple. Don't have a child. If something goes wrong and you do end up pregnant with a child you cannot provide for, put them up for adoption and let the child be brought up in a loving family. I hope he never see's the light of day again.

I was confused as well, but the linked article said something about her having 5 other kids all with different fathers.
It also comes with the hedged wording of "reportedly", and the article it links to explicitly states that official sources don't know the situation.

And even if she did, that makes her irresponsible and probably uneducated, not a whore.

Abortion happens before the egg is fertilized enough to even be classified as.. I think living, actually. As it hasn't gone through every stage required (I think there are seven... Respiration's one of them). This is a fully conscious baby. It can make noise, have faint recognition and memory. These are two completely different things.

... At about a hundred different stages in this process, anything else could have been done that would have been better.

This is what happens when you combine the most stupid people who have ever been born with the responsibility of raising young.

How abooouutt..... Not having the baby, fuckheads? There's a long, long list of ways you wouldn't have to [HEADING=1]MURDER YOUR YOUNG[/HEADING] before you even have to worry about it being born onto the floor (which was another nice move, you disgusting, crawling, human slime.).

Not prepared to raise a baby? That's fine.

Didn't use any contraception/it malfunctioned? OK. You might want to learn how to use condoms properly after 5 babies though if you didn't want a sixth.

Against abortion? OK. You're wrong, but it's your choice.

Have a baby you simply can't keep? You let the systems we have in place take care of it. Leave on a stranger's doorstep if you want.

If you still failed after this many steps, please step into this chamber where you will be humanely gassed, since we don't really want you in our species.

Every state has some form of Safe Haven law. There is ZERO mitigating factors for this whatsoever, aside from insanity.

Sane or not, however, this person needs to never breath free air again. If he has this much of an depraved indifference to the life of an infant, then he's a potential threat to anybody he's allowed to come into contact with.

1 other child by him and 5 others by "other men". Also, not her husband, boyfriend.

What sucks is this thread is going to be derailed so hard into a debate about abortion.

OT: This is tragic and I hope these two go away for a very, very long time.

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

Edit: The next person that quotes me is being hunted down and lit on fire. I FUCKING GET IT.

I don't know, what gets killed with abortion hasn't reached a state of consciousness yet but a baby is just horrid. But I guess you've got a point, we're just being hypocrites.

If he really has to explain why murdering a sentient newborn when adoption was an option is different than legally aborting a fetus before the birth, then chances are it would fall on deaf ears anyway.

And what would you say, would be the conditions through which something could be classified as "living?" Because, legally speaking in the US, there is no definition as to what is, and what isn't alive; and said definitions do not factor into the legality of abortion as expressed by the Supreme Court.

My mistake. Still, she's 28. She probably doesn't have a great education, and if they can't afford a baby to the point of not going to a hospital, I doubt they have great access to family planning services. Her situation isn't that surprising, it happens to women all over the world who are uneducated and have poor access to family planning.
