Unraveling the Tragic Case: Lessons from a First-Time Mom's Unthinkable Act

In a recent, gut-wrenching incident, a first-time mother took the horrifying step of ending her baby's life by crushing the skull moments after giving birth in her family's bathroom. This tragic case has brought to light the disturbing moral implications forcing us to confront the unsettling parallels between doctors in lab coats performing abortions and mothers committing infanticide. Her family members immediately called 911, but it was too late - the baby girl suffered from serious skull fractures that ultimately led to her death. The mother's actions were documented in a series of Snapchat messages, where she expressed her intent to kill the baby and described her method of doing so.

As we struggle to comprehend the heartbreaking consequences of this mother's actions, one of the most glaringly obvious questions we must ask ourselves is whether there is a moral distinction between a doctor in an office performing an abortion at any time in the pregnancy and a mother doing it herself just five minutes after the birth.
