Infanticide gets death penalty?

Only reason for the question mark is that the subject is abortion which, as we all know, must be performed freely, even up to the third trimester, lest minority women be forced to use rusty coat hangers in back alleys.

As for the accused, we could use scissors to snip their spines, but that would be, uh, cruel and unusual punishment, right? Wasn’t for the born-alive babies.

What really is no surprise is that this “Women’s Medical Society” operated for forty years under the noses of the health bureaucrats without apprehension. Obviously, our taxes were hard at work. We’re in the best of hands.

Ann Richards, R.I.P.

"’I did not want my tombstone to read, ‘She kept a really clean house.’ I think I’d like them to remember me by saying, ‘She opened government to everyone,’" Richards said shortly before leaving office in January 1995."

Yet, in her support of the death penalty and a few other ways, she may also have been one of the last conservative Texas Democrats. 

UPDATE And on it goes, days of Texas news media stories about her and the state funeral to come.
