Sure sounds an awful lot like the mother planned for that poor kid to die.
And all this occurred within a church. Where are the charges against the church?
I do at least agree with her that she shouldn't be a mother.
Yeah she should have made this decision much earlier but maybe saving her daughter from a life of misery.
Aborting a pinhead sized embryo is murder in cold blood, but using religious delusions as a shaky excuse for a premeditated murder of an infant is just religious practice people can't be held accountable for.
Ameeericaa, fuck yeah.
They’ll definitely be held accountable. To what degree I don’t know, but there has been precedent set to overrule religious expression in the event of murder.
No, god said that
God is dead
But the article said she said he said...
Mental illness, religion, or murder? Who knows
Why’d you repeat the same thing twice at the start?
It's a bit like saying pasta and spaghetti.
Yeah, spaghetti is pasta, but not all pasta is spaghetti.
A healthy cocktail of all three perhaps
Could be attributed to religious psychosis, but sounds like some Casey Anthony shit.
Oh, haha, first time witnessing religion complicit in criminal activity, huh?
Sounds like they intended to kill the child and came up with this exorcism bullshit to try to argue "Religious Freedom" in court
It's a Pentacostal church, wouldn't be surprised if they do the snake handling thing.
