In reaction to the recent horror discovered at Starter's Pub, August 19th(my birthday)i tried to really put my feet in her shoes. I just had to work out my BiPolar feelings of liberalism versus Hammurabi's Code.
First...
I am fortunate to have had 4 healthy pregnancies that yielded 4 healthy babies to whom I am very grateful for having everyday. 
I may not have been pregnant in nearly 6.5 years, but I was pregnant a lot and I am uncertain that a person could really get to that gestational stage without thinking, hmm. I have heard a few real stories that are similar, it is still baffling.
Two...
A deeper and darker thought into these shoes, the homicidal narcissistic mindset of a sociopathic infant murderer. What were the thoughts? "I'm hanging with my friends, living life good tonight, wrestling is on, oh dang, i had a baby...dang, well that will interrupt my plans. Oh there is a trash liner and if I just stick this baby in and stuff it in the back of the toilet, my life style resumes....go back to hanging with my friends."
THAT is where I can't go, because, obviously, if I found myself in that position, I'd be hollering for the bar to brings clean towels and an ambulance! No matter whether or not it was possible to raise him, I would make sure he lived! More than probably in my case, my husband and I would 'swing it' somehow as it often feels like with a larger family. We swing it.
THREE
Since I could not swing into the mindset, I am left curious and awaiting the details of a person who obviously mentally ill, but worse a menace to our wholesome fiber as a small community. I'm not fascinated to know the details, but I wish to know more about her mental structure as to prevent and preserve a future where her friends and family could have assisted. I know it is not their fault, but, arming people in the information highway of signs of another person going Ape-POOP crazy is beneficial to all of us.
FOUR
I believe it's hypocritical to be Pro-Life and anti-social programs including Planned Parenthood. I do agree that there is a lot of waste in spending, but programs like this do normally promote responsible births.
FIVE
Who hugged their own kids extra tight that day, being thankful you aren't insane for having kids, no matter the roller coaster!?
