Unbelievable Logic

Read this post, paying particular attention to the newspaper scan.  Ashleigh Taylor is convinced that she did the right thing in killing her unborn baby.  Her logic is as as awful as the murder she wrought on her baby:

“I know that I made the right choice….What kind of life would that baby have had knowing that I didn’t even know the surname of the father?… my life would have been ruined.”

So, according to her, it’s better that the baby (and she did admit that it’s a baby, and not a blob of tissue) be killed than knowing that her mother didn’t know the child’s father’s last name.  Further, it’s a much better outcome to deliver the baby (whether dead or alive at this point the article doesn’t state) into a stainless steel tray to be thrown into the trash than “ruin” her life.  The selfishness and callousness is just astounding.  She now states that she hasn’t “had a successful relationship since.”  While there is a part of me that feels some pity for her and the damage she’s brought on herself, I can’t help but be distracted by the relationships her baby will never have because her mom decided that the life she created was too inconvenient to allow to live.  History will not look kindly on us for allowing this infanticide to continue.
