"In the state of Virginia as long as the umbilical cord is attached and the placenta is still in the mother, if the baby comes out alive the mother can do whatever she wants to with that baby to kill it," stated investigator Tracy Emerson. "She could shoot the baby, stab the baby. As long as it's still attached to her in some form by umbilical cord or something it's no crime in the state of Virginia."

More backward laws that need to be updated. I don't understand how this ever could have been enacted as law.
The modern conservative is engaged in one of man's oldest exercises in moral philosophy; that is, the search for a superior moral justification for selfishness. John Kenneth Galbraith
Whoever opposes this law wants women to DIE. Looks to me like Virginia is looking out for womens rights. Unless of course the baby attached to the umbilical cord was female - then we have a dilema.

THIS would be the reason some women SHOULDN'T EVEN COME CLOSE TO DELIVERING A BABY.....just because one is capable of carrying baby in womb doesn't mean one should......
not to mention who would go through a pregnancy, give it up for adoption and HOPE the baby doesn't end up with someone like that.....
if I was a pregnant woman and adoption was the only option and that weighed on my mind.....yup.....I'd vote abortion.....I never have rose colored glasses on.....hey, but that's me.....the mirror is ALWAYS in my face....
anyone ever watch The Mist?.....remember the ending? think about it....was that heroic? because the world is just that nutso that you'd have to stop and think what to do.......
...you are a product of your environment, your environment is a product of your priorities, your priorities are a product of you......
The replacement of morality and conscience with law produces a deadly paradox.
